How about brightening up your loved one’s special day with a cheery Father’s Day card?
Cathy’s easel card was created by combining our Mix and Match Cardstock and 40-211 Hand in Hand with her Faber-Castell colored pencils. (Cathy’s listed the exact colors used on her blog so you can get this same great look!)

Designer Inspiration: Therese
This week our designers continue to inspire with fun cards created with our “For Family” challenge theme in mind.
Clean and simple stamping is a great combination with our critter stamps. Therese reached for 40-225 Tune Up to create this happy card.
Therese colored her image with Prismacolor Pencils and Copic Markers. She highlighted the white of the grill and the numbers on the license plate with a white pen. She also used a glitter pen over the grill, the rims of the lights, and license plates. What a clever way to make it look like shiny chrome!
Do you have a favorite Penny Black critter stamp? Why not pull it out and create a simple card for someone in your family?

Designer Inspiration: Heather
Floral cards for your family (and, of course, those dear friends you consider family) are perfect entries for our current challenge! Don’t you love how Heather has transformed 30-155 Blooming Garden…
…to this watercolor wonder?
To create this effect, Heather stamped and then re-stamped the poppy image on damp watercolor paper. The image was then colored in with watercolor pencils.
