Dadisms for Father's Day...hehe...and a Copic tip

Good Morning! I'm sippin' an English Toffee skinny latte and am so excited that we finally have a little sunshine in the rainy state of WA.  WOO Hoo.  I am going to be late with my dad's father's day card, but it just HAD to be perfect and well, ya know that takes time.
Anywho, here is his card.  I used a fabulous stamp set from There She Goes called "Dadisms".  Jessica's stamps are just so funny and cleaver. 

 

Here's a Copic Tip: When I color my image, I tend to saturate the paper with ink.  Not always, but when there are lots of colors and lots of shading, I might take a couple of days to finish it so it gets pretty saturated.  Here's the front of the image.

 Now, here's the back:

This saturation is a good thing according to the Copic Queen, Marianne Walker.  She was my instructor at certification class in Portland and is a GREAT Copic Artist.

I used Jessica's instructions on making a floor, and paper pieced the curtains with CTMH Passages scraps I had around. A little distressing with ink and the PTI linen plate. (I distressed for the There She Goes Challenge-TSG59). Then added some PTI twine and button to finish off the card.

I hope he likes it! And I hope you do too.  Have a great weekend celebrating the wonderful men in your life!! See you Monday. :-D
