Hello again. 

This week's project is a card which will satisfy an number of criteria:-1) the use of some hearts found in a forgotten workroom box; 2) Father's Day card; 3) Stamps from Jane's HobbyMaker shows earlier this week. I'm going to add a further caveat to this - no sentiment added for Father's Day as this will be used within the next couple of months for a male birthday card. Not a bad result! 

Father's Day Card

Materials:-

Cleverprints Products:-

• Woodland Creatures 'Have a Hoot' Stamp set

Extras:-

• Kraft Card - for heart layers and card blank 
• Black Card
• Alcohol Markers
• Black Ink Pad
• Card - white or cream
• Self-adhesive Gems

Instructions:-

Please Note:-

As this card was made without my usual step by step photography, the photograph of the finished card may act as a reference.

1. Stamp owl from 'Have a Hoot' stamp set onto white or cream card. Colour main image with alcohol markers and trim. 

2. Cut (either free-hand or die) three large and three small hearts from kraft card and three medium hearts from black card. Layer hearts - large, medium, small and glue in place. 

3. Cut one of the hearts in two, down the central line and attach one half to either side of card blank. 

4. Adhere two hearts, in layers, bridging the gap between each heart half. refer to photo for placement. 

5. Attach coloured owl image centrally over top heart.

6. Decorate owl and card front with self-adhesive gems. 

*Top Tip - Before gems are placed, add a dot of glue to base card to secure. 

With Jane's shows on HobbyMaker earlier this week and the advent of Father's Day at the weekend, these were the raison d'etre for this card, not withstanding the uncovering of a box of multiple heart shapes in a little workroom tidy. 

Hoping this gives some ideas.

Best wishes,
