In this life I have been so very blessed to have a husband who is such a good Dad. All the things a kid hopes for in a Father are things my beloved exemplifies, and I thank the Lord for Him! This was my card for him for Father’s Day, it incorporates the very beautiful Ginkgo Botanicuts from The Greetery, which I picked up on their recent sale. Did you know ginkgo symbolizes resilience, healing and longevity? Perfect for a card for him!
I love that these leaves can be masculine in theme. I started with Eucalyptus cardstock from Concord & 9th and ink blended both Eucalyptus and Rainforest ink onto the leaves to given them some depth and bring out the detail veins in the die. Then I splattered them wiht Rainforest ink and white acrylic paint.
Next, I placed them onto a card base cut from Pebble cardstock which I had ink blended deeper mushroom ink onto. Its a great earthy look. Some leaves are glued down some are popped up slightly for a great sense of dimension and texture.
The foiled sentiment is from Spellbinders, Must-Have Sentiments Glimmer, and it’s foiled in a gunmetal silver shade. To keep it very simple since there is some much going on with the leaves, I added a few coordinating enamel dots.
