Father's Day Scene Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Father's Day is right around the corner. I created this card for my husband, the father of four boys. He might still be out of town on Sunday. At least, card is already made. 

Today's Lawnfawnatics challenge is truly a challenge for me. The only stamp that I have which suits the theme of Beach vs. Mountains is the LF Dad + Me stamp set. It has a mountain stamp which was perfect for the scene that I created. The nice thing about LF products is that you can mix and match the products to create a story, which is what I did on this card. 

I stamped the images that will make up my scene on white cardstock. I did partial stamping on the mountain and the tree since these stamps have solid parts on it. I used the Misti to do partial stamping. I inked the solid part of the stamp with brown for the mountain, and green for the tree. I inked the peak of the mountain with gray ink and used brown ink for the tree stump. I fussy cut the images leaving a thin white border around it. 

I stamped the bears on white cardstock. The bear stamps are also from the LF Dad + Me stamp set. I colored the bears with Copic markers. I fussy cut the bears leaving a white border around it. I stamped the eyeglasses on the larger bear. 

I die cut a white cardstock using the frame from the LF #Awesome coordinating die set. I die cut two sets. I inked the inside piece with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks to create a sky and grass background. I blended the green ink on the extra inside piece. I heat set the piece with the sky and grass background. I heat embossed some clouds on the sky using clear embossing powder. The cloud stamp is from LF Spooky Village stamp set. I colored the cloud with a white Wink of Stella, followed with a coating of clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer.

For the green inked inside piece, I die cut this to create a grass ground for the bears. The die is from the LF Platform Pop-up die set.

I added some snow to the mountain peaks by coloring the snow peaks with an embossing pen, then pouring in Wow! White Puff embossing powder. then heat setting it. I overlapped the mountains to create a mountain border.

I colored the tree trunks with a brown Copic marker. I positioned the bears then started tucking in the trees behind the bears, making sure to cover the bottom of the mountain, just so that it creates the illusion that the mountains are farther, and that the trees are closer. I also made sure that the tree trunks are hidden behind the grass die cut. I trimmed off any excess hanging off the side of this panel.

I adhered the grass die cut with a thick foam adhesive. I adhered the bears using a thinner foam adhesive. I added Glossy Accents to the glasses. I set this to dry.

For the outside piece of the frame, I inked one of the frames with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the extra frame to the back of this. I pieced in the scene to the frame. I secured both pieces with tape. 

For the sentiment, I inked a white cardstock with TH Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. I heat set this to speed dry it. I partially die cut a banner to this blended piece using a die from the LF Fancy Folded Banner die set. I just needed a banner long enough to fit the sentiment. The sentiment is from the LF #Awesome stamp set. After I die cut the banner, I pieced this back into the negative space, and temporarily taped it on the back. This serves as a stabilizer for the banner when I stamp the sentiment. After prepping the site with anti-static powder, I stamped the sentiment to the banner using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I embossed this with clear embossing powder. I die cut an extra piece of the banner which I adhered to the back of the sentiment banner for a little bit of dimension.

For the card panel, I die cut a weave patterned paper using a 4" X 5 1/4" stitched rectangle die. I adhered the scene panel and the sentiment banner to this. I matted this with a light gray cardstock.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day! And, Happy Father's Day to all dads out there.
