Rowhouse Greetings | Father's Day | Stamping Bella Hayley The Hero

Thanks Dad! I Turned out Awesome!

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

This will be a busy weekend — my husband’s birthday is Saturday and Father’s Day is Sunday. My parents, brother, and sister-in-law will are coming by for lunch on Saturday to celebrate the dual occasions and to see the results of our recent home renovations. This will be our first picnic in our new court yard– still a work in progress because we need to add more plantings. But a garden is always a work in progress, even if it’s one that lives in a variety of containers.

With company coming, I’ll have to get the house ready. My husband asked for apple pie for his birthday — and I never bake pies — so I have an culinary adventure ahead of me. But first, I needed to get a Father’s Day card put together so that I could (temporarily) put away my Copics and get ready for company.

I love this image from Stamping Bella, but I’ll admit that the cape was an unexpected challenge for me. Initially, I tried the usual methods for shading folds (and by the way, I LOVE Sandy Allnock), but the result just looked too studied and out of place for this image. So after (literally) eight attempts, I finally realized that I was overthinking it and made my shading less technical and more casual.

So here’s the final result. My dad will enjoy the tongue in cheek humor. Hope you like it too!

Happy Father’s Day XOXO

Just a quick Father’s Day Card using this adorable digital stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil. I follow Max Stephens on Instagram who draws and colors some absolutely stunning Disney Princess images. The detail that he adds to the gowns is nothing short of amazing. So I had some fun with the dress, using first a Copics Spica Pen in Clear to add a little glitter and then a white gel pen to add some texture. While it’s nothing more than polka dots, it does add a bit of fun to a simple dress.

I love how we know without saying ….

Father’s Day is coming up soon so I thought I had better get a card ready for my Dad. I’m the youngest and the only girl so I’ve always had a special relationship with my father.  And now that my parents are elderly, I’m spending more time taking care of them — cooking meals, getting them to doctor’s appointments, taking them out on special trips. So while I do have brothers — and this card is tongue in cheek — there is a special bond with my dad that we both know without saying.
