Father’s Day Card in Pinks!

Judy R here today with a fun Father’s Day card in Pinks using fabulous cardstock from CutCardStock! Not all masculine cards need to be neutrals or primary colors. Some dads like pinks! This card is not-quite monochromatic, as I have pops of other colors here and there, but it surely has a pink vibe!

Step 1 – Gather Your Supplies

Gather your supplies and choose your papers/cardstock. Today I am using stamps & dies from Mama Elephant, but you can choose any similar dies in your stash. Many companies offer something similar to the ones I am using. The cardstock I am using today:

Classic Crest Solar White
MirriSparkle Glitter Pink Sapphire
DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Pink Tutu CardStock

Step 2 – Card Bases and Die Cutting

My card base is 4.25×11″ from the Pink Tutu, scored in half and folded. The XO mat is Classic Crest Solar White, cut 4.25×5.5″ with a Mama Elephant coverplate. Behind that, I layered that gorgeous MirriSparkle Glitter Pink. All of the other images were cut at the same time on my large electronic die cutting machine, also using Classic Crest.

Step 3 – Stamping and Shading the Die Cuts

First, I stamped my images with VersaFine Nocturne ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I then colored my images with alcohol markers, and added some white gel pen for accents here and there. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Nocturne Ink, and the edges of the tag die cut and the deckle circle were sponged with a pink dye ink. I am saving those extra X’s and O’s for another card someday!

Step 4 – Assembling the Card

The middle of the O’s were glued in with liquid adhesive so I could move them around a little before they dried to get the right placement. On some I used the cut outs for placement and on some I just eyeballed it!

Everything is popped up with foam tape or adhered with liquid adhesive. I added three pink gems for added sparkle. This was a fun Father’s Day card to make in pinks! What do you think?
