Great masculine colours, I think; and I needed a little push to get organised for Father's Day! With August shaping up to be a very busy month, it's likely I'd leave my father's and father-in-law's cards until the last minute if I didn't make a start now.
I think my Autumn Days stamp set has been inked up only once, so I was determined to use it, and use a bit of creative licence when colouring the pheasant! I love how these colours worked together.
Stamps: Autumn Days, Sanded, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Not Quite Navy, Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
DSP: Certainly Celery Patterns Designer Series Paper
Ink: Sahara Sand stampin' pad, Chocolate Chip marker, Certainly Celery marker, Not Quite Navy stampin' pad and marker
Other: Top Note die, paper snips, Word Window punch, Jumbo brads, sponge dauber, aquapainter

I love how you coloured the pheasant. It looks very effective with the challenge colours. I also love how you stamped the foliage. I am sure that your father or your father-in-law will love it.
ReplyDeleteI was so delighted to see a card with my pheasant on it, I love this stamp set, but not too many ppl I know appreciate or like it, so thank you for posting him on this challenge, your card is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe pheasant looks so beautiful in those colours Christine. Love the way you've used the top note and the brads too .... very effective! Glad you could play along with JAI this week.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Christine, these colour suit this stamp set well.
ReplyDeleteI've never inked the pheasant from that set. Yours looks terrific done in the various colours. Well done for being so organised for Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteLove that pheasant and how you colored him in... even with a shadow! Beautiful use of those colors - especially the wheat around the frame of the note die. Lovely! (And thanks so much for visiting my blog with all of your lovely comments - you are too kind - truly appreciated!)
