I've got a card to share tonight. It's the one I created for my hubby who is a wonderful father to our two boys.
I used one of the new Hero Arts stamp sets from their recent, Stamp Your Story release. Love this set! It's called, Brush Strokes. I also used all Hero Arts Shadow Inks. Two were Mid-Tone Inks in Navy and Wet Cement. The third one was Soft Granite.
I then white embossed all the words from another new Hero Arts set called, My Words. The word, "WE" is an important one in our house - so much better than using "I." We've always told our kids we're a team and we work together, so I thought it would be fun to emboss that word many times on the ink splats. I then added several different sentiments that I thought would make the card even more meaningful.
My hubby had a wonderful, relaxing day - he went and played golf this morning then came home to watch the U.S. Open golf tourney on TV. The perfect Father's Day, according to him. :)
I'm missing my own father today. He died almost 37 years ago, when I was in high school, and no matter how many years pass by, I still miss him. He was a big man with a heart to match. He had a laugh that filled the room, a deep faith in God, and he adored being a father to us six kids. I so wish he could have met my two boys!
That's it for me tonight - hope you've all enjoyed your weekend! I'm glad you took the time to stop by - thank you! :)

Thank You~
Absolutely wonderful card for your hubby, Barb--Artistic & beautiful! Missing my dad today, too, but glad for the memories.
"big... with a heart to match." Must be in the genes.
Have to share this with you... I just did my taxes (in the nick of time)and when I saw the thumbnail of your card I thought "tax form". Wouldn't that be fun for a dad card - stamp on a tax form?!?!?
what a great card Barb. Even though your Dad isn't around, I can still feel the love you have for him. Glad your hubby had a great Dad's Day
Sending you hugs my friend. I'm sure your dad smiles down on you and is so proud of the young men you have raised. Your hubbies card is awesome! I love the very cool stamping!
What a nice thing to say about your dad great memories and such a cool graphic card too!
You brought tears to my eyes talking about your wonderful dad. He certainly left a legacy in you. I miss my dad every day. So grateful for the theme of your card and that you (and I) have a wonderful man and your family works as a team.
Hi, Barb! What a DARLING card you created for your husband! I love the artsy-feel to it!

Barb what a fantastic card you created for your hubby! I love the brush strokes. I am sorry that you lost your own father at such a young age, but you need to feel in your heart that your father does know you boys. :)

I'm sure your hubby loved this card, Barb! Very trendy and very well done.
My dad died many years ago at the age of 52 in a car accident. I was the middle child, but I was definitely "Daddy's little girl"! I still miss him and wish he could have known his grands!!
