Simple Fathers Day

This week the challenge over at The Paper Players is to create a one layer card. Considering I don't like a lot of embellishments you'd think that this would be an easy challenge for me but nope, it sure wasn't! I finally decided on a nice, simple Fathers Day card.

I used the truck image from the set Countryside. This set is going to be retiring but that's ok, I'll still use it(if you come by my blog regularly you'll see I use a lot of retired stamps. As a hobby demo I buy sets because I like them and want to use them, for many yrs to come)! To help highlight the truck I scored some lines above and below the image, to create a frame of sorts.

Thanks for stopping by!


Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise stated):
Stamps: Countryside, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Naturals White
Ink: Black StazOn, Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, Garden Green, Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Simply Scored Tool, Aquapainter, Blender Pen

  2. Your one layered card is fantastic, Lisa! I love how the score lines really help highlight the truck image. The truck reminds me of the old truck that my grandpa had. I remember bouncing around in it while going over the narrow dirt roads to check on his fields with him or the pasture with the cows.
