Good morning crafty friends,I wanted to share the details on how I made my card for yesterday'sDigi Desserts Fridaze Post.Here is a view of my completed card. It is a standard A4 size.I used the PCW File: Super Dad Digital Stamp. I used the pre-colored version. I printed it out on my regular HP Photosmart Inkjet Printer…nothing fancy.I then decided to give the design a little “pop” by outlining the border and the emblem with my Sakura Glaze Pens. I have had these pens for no kidding, SEVERAL YEARS and used them maybe….once before and so I thought….time to pull them out and see if they aren't all dried up…to my amazement they worked just fine!Here is a close up shot after I attached the image to the base of my card. I scattered some star shaped gems around the emblem and one larger star gem in the center of the ribbon. I thought the card came out really colorful and very “SUPER DAD-ISH”...lol. Here are the products I used for this projectPCW File Used: Super Dad Digital StampDCWV Stacks: All About Boys (Star Paper) Nana's Kids (Zig Zag Paper) Red and White CardstockSakura Glaze PensEK Success Mini Photo Corner PunchMisc.
