Father's Day Card

When I think of Mother's day cards I think of flowers. But I don't usually think of flowers when I think of Father's day, but this year, that is exactly what my card started with. I made this print using my Gel Press printing plate.  Orange and Yellow acrylic paint, and my ALL BLOOMS stencil from ARTplorations/STAMPlorations. 

I did a watercolor wash over the top of my monotype with a dark blue and dark brown watercolor paint. 

Then I embossed it using my Tim Holtz gears embossing folder. I went over the raised areas with black stazon ink and I rubbed inka gold on parts of the print. I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut the images and sentiment from STAMPlorations TRUE NORTH set. The vertical panel was another monotype that I made on my Gel Press Printing plate, blue and brown acrylic paint and leaves. I stamped the word DAD out of the same print using STAMPlorations SKETCHY ALPHABET.
