Happy Birthday Dad

Hi everyone!! 

Today I want to share with you this CAS (clean and simple), Summer Night Card II I made for my dad, who's birthday is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! You are a wonderful teacher and great inspiration. ♥

My dad's favorite color is blue, he loves summer and sailboats, so I decided to CASE my own card that I made last month, Summer Night Card. I went with same design, layout and summery theme, but skipped adding any sentiment on the card. :o)

I used handmade circle stencil to create Blue Moon. I blended Distress Inks directly on a white top folded card base through the stencil. When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and stamped tiny stars in black.

I colored in black wooden sailboat using Ranger's Archival Ink, Jet Black, dried it with Heat It Tool and glued it on the card and my card was finished. Super easy and fast to create. :o)

Card dimensions: 95 mm x 126 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

• handmade circle stencil, d = 2 1/2"
