Fun Month Ahead!
I know Mother's Day falls before Father's Day, but with the beautiful papers from one of our co-sponsors, The Robin's Nest, I couldn't wait to use them on a Father's Day card.Actually, we have two co-sponsors over at Sketch~N~Scrap this month: The Robin's Nest and The Paper Bakery. Sketch~N~Scrap turns TWO this month, so we are having a special month full of sketches, prizes, and lots of special fun.

Ok, now back to the first card sketch...here is the sketch, done by Kelli Hollifield:
Awesome, right? I love this sketch, and I love how this Father's Day card turned out...
I used the brand new Lodge Collection papers from The Robin's Nest. All the supply links can be found below. The plaid paper is just so "dad". It is on the reverse side of the Compass Cardstock. Mixed with the striped side of the Belgian Chocolate cardstock, it makes a striking, manly combination that fits this card perfectly.
The top layers were cut from the Lodge Cutouts cardstock and inked with some blue chalk ink. A little scrap ribbon and a couple of buttons with some floss finish off the card.
For the inside, I used a computer generated sentiment and mounted it on some more of that awesome paper.
I hope you enjoyed my card and are inspired to play along with us at Sketch~N~Scrap. I will be hosting on the hop on May 21st, so get ready for some fun!
Til next time, keepin' it crafty!
