Looking to shake things up with your Father’s Day card creations? Check out this awesome fishermen’s card that is full of layers upon layers of goodness!
Can you believe June is almost here? This means Father’s Day is coming soon. Today’s AH-MAZING card creation comes from our designer Marla, who is using sets from our new “Waves & Wins” Release. We are obsessed with how much fun this card is, from the stenciled background, to shaker sequins, to the eaten away net framing the middle. It’s absolute perfection! Marla said, “My family has always loved to fish. When Brass & Bliss released the new Silhouette Fishermen dies yesterday, I had my theme for my husband’s Father’s Day card.” We love when a card idea just jumps out to us. We hope this card inspires you as you follow along and see how Marla created this Father’s Day Fishermen’s Card.
