Outlines -D.A.D.

Monday brings another challenge from the Outlines Design Team. This week Jeanne came up with our color combo.... Brown, Aqua and White... any theme goes just use those colors to create with! 

You can hop over to the Outlines Blog and find out how you can play along with the challenge for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate!

I thought these colors would work perfectly for a Fathers Day card. I was able to keep the bling to a very modest three crystals for Dad, but had to add a bow! This was a really easy card to make. Along the bottom edge I used an EK Success border punch to add a little extra with out being too girly!

You can see I stamped the image twice, coloring with Copics... of course. After coloring the second set of "DAD" letters I cut them out and used them to pop over the original stampings adding a little dimension.

I used Glossy Accents to add a glossy coat over the hat and also the aqua dots on the "D". Blue Zircon Swarovski Crystals were a perfect color match to my aqua card stock, and I added three along the bottom of the swirl. I used Size 5, 7 and 9... one of each! A little bow wraps around and adds the finishing touch. Final card size is an A2.
