Loads of Love for Dad

Fun challenge over at the Friday Mashup this week. A great sketch with the added challenge of making a masculine card with it.
I had to use Loads of Love with this one. It is one of the very first stamp sets I ever bought, and it is retiring on Thursday! Since Steve drives a blue pick-up, it’s a natural choice for a Father’s Day card. I didn’t realize it until I had finished, but I ended up pretty much using the same colors on my card that were in the sketch! It’s also a pretty patriotic color scheme for this Memorial Day weekend.
Stamps: Loads of Love
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Island Indigo, Poppy Parade, Basic Grey, Crumb Cake
Paper: Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Naturals White, 2010-2012 In Color Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack, 2011-2013 In Color Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack
Just a reminder that anything Poppy Parade (or any of the 2010-2012 In Colors) will no longer be available after Thursday, May 31st. In fact, a lot is sold out already. Get what you need while you still have a chance!
Love the card, and how funny that your colors came out so close to the sketch! Loads of Love is a great set and you used it wonderfully here!
Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Friday Mashup!
Wonderful Father’s Day card! I love that the colours are so close to the sketch!
Thanks for sharing with us at The Friday Mashup!
Great card! I really thought Loads of Love would be like Lovely As A Tree and stay in the catalog forever. Bummer…
This is a super card, love the colors. I’m really going to miss that truck
Aww…today is the last day for Loads of Love. Kinda sad as it makes such great cards like this one. Thanks for joining us at The Friday Mashup!
Perfect! Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup.
