A spectacular day

Good afternoon

It is a bank holiday here in England and as usual for a bank holiday it is a grey, wet, miserable day. I have ventured out to do some food shopping but otherwise I am staying in where it is warm and dry.

This is a Father's day card I made for my children to give to their dad in June - 

 This is the first shaker card I have made and unfortunately I think I needed to clean the acetate with an anti-static bag because the little die cut keep sticking to the acetate. You live and learn.

For this card I have used - 

• Man of the moment stamp and die set from Papercraft essentials magazine (also where the inspiration for the card came from)
• Spectrum Noir pens - EB2, EB3, EB5 and EB8
• Sheena stamping card
• blueprint sketch, wilted violet and salted ocean distress inks
• grape jelly and Danube blue Memento ink
• scraps of blue, light blue, black, white and orange card
• acetate from Crafter's Companion
• stars mirri from Hunkydory
• Tonic layering squares and circles die sets

 The sentiment came with the magazine.

I created the background by applying the distress inks first and then stamping the stars randomly over the background.

That's all from me today. Enjoy the rest of your day.
