Thin Cuts Sale Today!

Close To My Heart is having another Flash Sale!  Thin Cuts are up for sale starting at 3:00 PM MDT.  You can view my online store here!

On another note...I have been out of town and away from my blog for a few weeks...during that time, issues have obviously developed with my image hosting!  If only it were my image hosting, I could have it fixed!  Sadly, the images were created for me and I never copied the actual images.  So, the issue it with someone else's account!  Gotta love changes in technology!  Hoping to get the issue resolved quickly....if not, I will be working on new images ASAP!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #392

Another masculine card for Father's Day. I found this stamp in a clearance bin....and it is perfect for the man who has stepped up to the plate and been a father to my youngest son. I greatly appreciate the time and patience he has shown my son.  The stamp could have easily been a photo image of them on a hunting outing.  My card is based on the sketch challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches, with a very heavy emphasis from Jen's card!

I stamped my image in pigment ink....I love the creamy smoothness you get from stamping with pigment ink. I live in a dry climate, so the ink dries almost as quickly as dye ink.  If you are in a more humid climate, you would need to set with a heat gun or emboss the image.  I added a bit of twine to add a more rustic feel to my wood tones.

Happy Father's Day!

Hope everyone is having a Happy Father's Day!  I pulled together a simple masculine card for a fishing enthusiast.  I couldn't resist adding in a touch of burlap. My card is based on the sketch challenge this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

I used a variety of supplies, with all of them being retired.  You might still be able to locate the fishing papers, which are from The Great Outdoors collection by Carta Bella.

I have also entered my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Calendar Challenge-Masculine
Die Cuttin Divas-Masculine (My burlap banners are die cut)
