Beautiful Father's Day - Stampin' Up!® Beautiful Motifs

   I've been using the Beautiful Gallery Suite a lot lately because it works for so many kinds of cards.  I made this card for one of my father-in-laws for Father's Day.  I was going for a peaceful nature-y/outdoors/plant kind of card since that's his vibe.  I think it turned out just right! What do you think?

I started with a piece of Beautiful Gallery DSP adhered to the card base.  The paper is so beautiful I didn't wanted to cover it all up so I made an open frame with the Textured Notes dies as I could make it thinner than the frames in the coordinating Gallery Blooms die set.  I used Basic Beige for a nice neutral cardstock.

Next I brushed some Mossy Meadow ink onto a piece of Basic White and cut out the fern.  Then the flower stalk is die cut in Crumb Cake cardstock.  I blended a little bit of Peach Pie ink onto the flower.  I adhered these along the side of the frame.

A Spotlight on Nature die circle in Mossy Meadow is stamped with the damask stamp and is then popped on dimensionals over a bit of Basic Beige Classic ribbon.

The retired sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow and trimmed to fit on the circle. A few adhesive backed texture dots are the perfect embellishment to finish this design.  Swap out the sentiment for anything you need as this works as an all occasion card too!

 Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
