Father's Day Cards

Hi Dreamers,
It's Father's Day!!  Don't forget Dad today.   I have three cards today that I made for the Dads in my life: my Dad, my Brother, and my Godfather.   I used Artistic Outpost stamps for all three cards.  The Artistic Outpost June Challenge is Masculine.  Well, I think all three of my cards quality fro that.  LOL. Very masculine indeed. Here is card number one.



The stamping is done with Archival ink and the colors are added with Distress inks. 


On the inside, I used a cute sentiment from Sweet N' Sassy Stamps.  


Cards numbers two and three use the same image.  I changed up the layout a bit on each.  I stamped with Soot Black Distress ink, color added with Distress Inks.




And, here is the inside.



And the last card:   I added some decorative paper and twine.  



And the inside:
