Father's Day Card




I want it noted that I ACTUALLY USED a piece of Hodgepodge Hardware on this Father's Day card for my wonderful husband. JulieHRR laughed at me in the SCS forum a while back (a l-o-n-g while back, LOL!) when I stated I would eventually use my Hodgepodge and wasn't really hoarding it. I think this is proof I was right.

Sort of.

Supplies
stamps: PTI Pond Life
cardstock: PTI natural; SU artichoke, night of navy
ink: SU artichoke, night of navy, chocolate chip, close to cocoa
accessories: Hodgepodge Hardware, ribbon

  4. This card is perfect! I love how you cut the leaf to extend beyond the border.

    And it's good thing you have so carefully managed your use of Hodge Podge hardware so as to have a piece still available when you need it. Way to plan ahead!

  8. this is a fabulous card!! I used this same set last year so I had to pull out a different one for this year. I too have trouble using my hodgepodge hardware....I think I have only used about 5 pieces....maybe you will inspire me to use a piece of mine today.... :-)

  10. Hey, I just used my first piece of HPH a couple of challenges back...so you aren't alone. I like Sharon's take on it, too LOL!

    I absolutely love this card, Susan. It is the essence of all that is masculine, simple, and elegant!

  11. I like this cattail image and how you extended one leaf off the edge of the panel. Good for you for using your hardware. I have a lot of embellishments that I bought and have never used because I'm saving them for that "special" card which I have yet to make.
