My Dad is Rad Birthday Card - Artistry and Artiste with FREE DS link!

My older son designed this card for his Dad's birthday using My Dad is Rad from Artistry as the focal point and building a background with some cogs cut from Artiste. He is a pretty artistic guy so watching him pick out pieces and colors to create the design he wanted to make was a lot of fun!

My younger boy isn't very artsy so he just picks a pre-made card from one of my cartridges and maybe gives a color that he wants on the card before he leaves my craft room for me to make it - LOL. He picked this one is from Classically Modern Cards cartridge for his Dad.

I jazzed this one up with some tone on tone background stamping with an older retired set called Gear Up.  You may notice a mechanical/robotic theme to their selections - my husband was involved with my both the middle school and high school Robotics teams that both went to the state competition this year!  It was really awesome having that moment with both my boys as this is my older son's senior year and the last possible time that both boys would be eligible for state competition.  They didn't win but just being invited to the competition was awesome.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Stay crafty my friends!
