Happy Father's Day ~ Inspired by In The Mood

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!  A big shout out to the amazing father of my children.  He is all that I could ever ask for in both a husband and Dad for my kids.  Another shout out to my dad and both my Father in Laws.  Yep, I got 2 of them.  :)  I'm triply blessed in the dad department.  Here is one of the 4 Father's Day cards I made.  This one inspired by the card I made for "Color Washed" for the In The Mood class at Creativity Grows Here.


In the class I showed how to create this fabulous background with stencils, ink, stamps and embossing paste.  The original card has a beautiful buttterfly and scripty die cut sentiment.  To tone it down for Father's Day I just added a black band with a white embossed sentiment.

eta: I'm linking up with Freshly Made Sketches, because if you turned their sketch sideways you would have my card, and I LOVE this sketch.  It's one of my go-to for designing lately.  It's like they read my mind.  :)

eta: I'm also linking up to the AAA Cards challenge.  It's a happy accident that my card fits their them and image perfectly.  Thank you, Kimberly for introducing me to a new challenge blog.  :)
