Sweet Sunday Sketch #160

I needed another couple of Father's Day cards... so I made this one up using the current Sweet Sunday Sketch which happens to be a square card.  I made mine fairly large at 6":

Patterned papers are Kraft Fundays by My Mind's Eye and Times & Seasons by Echo Park; Stamp set is You Are, CTMH; Inks are Black and Vineyard Berry, CTMH; Buttons, CTMH.

Heart2Heart Challenge

I love playing along with the Heart2Heart Challenges whenever I get the chance... and this week is a "Black/white and a pop of colour" challenge.  I decided to go CAS with this one, just a little stamping and a few pop dots to lift up the whole front panel.  This is the first chance that I've had to ink up the March Stamp of the Month, too:

Stamp sets are Damask Tiles & Potential; Inks are Black & Pear; Cardstock is Black and White Daisy; - all CTMH; Spellbinder's die.
