A throwback Fathers Day card

 


Good Monday Morning Ladies, 

We had a very late night last night, hence the throwback card,  we went to Cardiff yesterday with Matt & Alex to see Tim Minchin as a treat for Matt's birthday and Paul's fathers day, we had a lovely lunch out, I tried a dessert that I'd hadn't heard of before, it was called Chelsea Tart, I guess it was like a Gypsy tart.  


It is like a baked Caramel custard, it was divine,  I enjoyed every bit of it.  I might have a go at making one.  

The card I am sharing today is a Fathers Day card from 2020, here is the description....

To make the card I used a piece of cheap copy paper and cut an aperture through which I stamped the sea, I then die cut some tiny clouds and put some low tack tape on them and arranged them above the sea, I used the same 'Broken China ' Distress ink to blend across the clouds to create the sky.
I removed the scrap paper and stamped the birds in Black ink. I die cut the Beach chair in wood effect paper and added a touch of shading, I placed that in front of the 'Seascape' and added the 'Happy Father's Day  sentiment next to it.
To finish the card I added a mat of similar colour blue card and then adhered to a card base.

The laugh is I sat and made 5 cards on Saturday,  but hadn't photographed them. 

I hope that you all have a great start to the week,

Love & hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  2. Hi everyone
    A lovely throwback card, I love the thought of sitting by the sea side and looking out over the waves. Never heard of either puddings but it does look good 👍
    I took OH out for a brunch today in Stony Stratford, it's a place there called,the bean, it is very nice family run place.
    Didn't do much at home, I found it too muggy for anything, wish we could get some thunder to break it up.
    Hoping that you all had a good day. Take care.xx

  3. Hi, at last some warm weather, hope it last a while.
    Love today’s throw back card, seaside always looks good.
    Your desserts sound delicious, never seen it, but I imagine it was very sweet..
    Feeling a bit dull after the family have gone back. Mostly sat and watched the tennis today, hoping to do some crafting tomorrow.
    Hugs to all Lilian
