The weeks roll round and as we launch another Festive Friday challenge, I bring you a Father’s Day card With Patterned Paper.
As always on our challenges, I have looked at the Inspo list that was created for this challenge celebrating Father’s Day and that has inspired my project. My Dad and father-in-law are no longer with us. However, these cards give us inspiration for those masculine cards, whatever the occasion.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project in our card making and paper crafting challenge. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about the theme at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!
My project used: blue; plaid and mountains.

Fabulous torn paper scene!
Wow! Great card! Love how you created the scene with the paper!
Oh, Helen! This card is so clever. This scene is absolutely fabulous! I love how you showcased the various patterns in the Well Suited paper collection. You hit a HOME RUN with this card for sure. Would you care if I CASEd it for my son who lives in Seattle? Have a wonderful weekend!
What a wonderful card. I love the snow capped mountains, and the papers you used for them, and for the clouds and water. Great and clever design. I love it.
Fantastic card Helen, such a creative way to use several different papers to create a scene. I love this idea!
Love that you used DSP for you scene. So very clever and beautifully done!
