It's time for a new challenge from the PPA. My new SU product did not arrive in time for me to use and still meet the deadline for the Design Team. But old is good too.
With Father's Day fast approaching, I thought the Wetlands stamp set with the goose and the goslings would be appropriate. Especially with the colors for the challenge this week.
Ginger's Tips:
- The Sahara Sand card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4.
- An Early Espresso Mat frames the scene and adds a nice contrast.
- Very Vanilla cardstock adds the softness that I wanted for my stamped piece. The foliage is stamped with stamped off Sahara Sand Ink & the goslings are stamped with Early Espresso Ink as is the sentiment found in Guy Greetings.
- The goose is stamped on a banner created with the newBanner Triple Punch. An Aqua Pen used with Early Espresso Ink give the goose & the grass beneath some definition.
- Both the Very Vanilla Layer & the banner are sponged with Marina Mist Ink.
- Texture is added to the banner with Linen Thread that has been wrapped around the banner 3 times and then knotted to add to the masculine look of my card.Popping the banner up with Stampin' Dimensionals gives the goose more prominence.
If you need a quick masculine card, this one might fill the bill ………..
I am doing a happy happy happy dance because my new SU product arrived! Be on the lookout for blog posts with cards created using some of my new toys. I have been creating!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Ginger, what an amazing job of sponging you did on this project. I love how you used both images and incorporated them into one card. Beautifully done!
Oh boy, looking forward to seeing what you create with your new stuff!
Love this card. At first I was puzzled thinking why is there a seam down the middle did she have it folded? No, that couldn’t be. Why is the goose a standout over the other birds – I thought they were another type of bird not thinking they were baby geese. Anyway, I finally saw the big goose was a banner piece. Boy, I think I need some caffeine or something! I was so intent on that gorgeous background of blue and the clouds I totally missed that it was a banner. Now, this is a really cool card and I love it. I really liked the challenge colors they chose. Well done!
Ging, this card is a stunner! The colors, the design and using a banner for the duck is a cool idea! You are on a role!
A very different card in style and I like it! You are so versatile in your card making. The clouds seem so real and unassuming. I like the layout. Well, I really like everything about this card. Nice, nice job.
Fabulous job Ginger!! Just love it!!!
Love it Ginger! This stamp set has become a Must Have for sure!
