Happy Father's Day!


Bwah-ha-ha-ha!! Is this guy a hoot or what? OMG, every time I look at this image I'm crackin' up! *snort* This is my Dad's Father's Day card and he loved it!

The image is "Arnie in the Loo" from Dude Time Doodles. Now be honest, how many times have you hens read the directions/ingredients on the shampoo and conditioner labels while on the THRONE??? Hmmmmm? ROFL!!! OMG, I SO LOVE this card. Of course, you hens know how much I LOVEEEEE funny old people images!! What can I say, I'm a sick chick!

Ok, so I printed Arnie out onto some Neenah Classic Crest cardstock and colored him with my Copics. Then I finally decided on the sentiment I wanted to add so I typed it up in MSWord and then ran some scrap paper through the printer for a few test runs so I could get the placement just right underneath the image and when I was sure I had the right placement, I ran the image through and it printed out perfectly underneath him. I matted the image onto some SU Early Expresso and stitched around the edges. Then I adhered it to some OLD DP from Patchwork Papers and Flair Designs. They seemed to work well together and made a great background for a masculine card. (Ya'll know how hard guy cards can be.) *sigh* Ok, then I matted each layer with the same SU Early Expresso and stitched around the edges. To finish, I threaded this satin ribbon through a slit I made in the image panel and added a few mini brads to the corners too. Ain't it a doosey????

Oh and to give you hens a little update.... if you're wondering why the sporadic posts lately, well this Chicken's turning into a BRAINIAC!! Pffft! Ummm, let's just say I'm trying anyway! Hmmmph! I have a new job and I've been in training for the past month, so I'm trying my best to make a few cards here and there in between my classes. Hopefully, in a few months, my schedule will become more consistent and I can fit more cards in. Until then, I hope you hens understand and won't be too disappointed when I don't post. Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today. I'll post my husband's Father's Day card on Tuesday. If you like this one, you're gonna LOVE Tuesday's! Woo-hoo!! Happy Father's Day to all da ROOSTERS out there!!! {{{hen hugs}}}

  16. This is so funny! I love everything you did on this card -- the color palette, figuring out how to print the sentiment exactly where you wanted it (that's the kind of thing I would do!), and the dp you chose. What's not to love about dear, old, Arnie? LOL You did him up proud!
