Today is the first MOMM focusing on Father's Day. Today's card is traditional in color, design and pattern so it can easily be given to a grandpa too. I have a thing for travel related anything. I can't seem to pass up maps, planes, air mail iconography on fabric, stamps, papers and elements. Perhaps this has to do with so many good memories travelling in the car. I still love car rides, plane trips, boat expeditions and travel excursions. I think travel themes are a natural fit with guys too. I know the male members of my family all have affection for one type of vehicle or other or just in travel in itself. You will see this theme come up time and time again from me. I just can't help it!
When I thought about making a Father's Day card I pulled out some of my travel themed stamps from Tim Holtz. Nearly all Tim Holtz products are a crafty gal's best friend when you need to make some testosterone enriched cards. In particular I grabbed the Travel Labels stamp set.
I really love creating backgrounds with stamps. Using the larger Fiskars stamp press and all of the stamps from the stamp set I created a pattern that I stamped in Versamark upon a piece of patterned paper from the He Said She Said He Said 6x6 paper pad. I then heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder.
This is when I pulled out my Distress Inks. You can't go wrong with some Distress Inks and ink blending tool. There is fun to be had (I don't get out much obviously) in seeing the images being revealed as more and more ink is placed on the paper and the embossing powder resists the ink.
I wrapped some ecru crochet cotton around the resist panel and attached a round tag that I stamped with a sentiment from Fillable Frames #4 using some Hero Arts pool ink.

I finished off the card by adhering the resist panel with dimensional adhesive to a piece of patterned paper from the same 6x6 paper pad and then a kraft card base.

So there you have our first MOMM Father's Day card. I'll be back next week with another card to inspire you to tackle your father's day cards.
Happy creating,
