I am so pleased with the way this card turned out. It was almost unintentional–I started out by stamping the checklist from And Many Mower onto a piece of Confetti paper first, that’s how I came up with the legal pad/looseleaf idea. I made my own lined paper by taking a piece of So Saffron card stock and using a ruler, lightly drew lines with the fine point of my Bashful Blue marker. The red line down the left side was made the same way, using the Real Red marker.
By mounting onto a piece of Close to Cocoa card stock, it looked like a clipboard. And it just so happens I have those clips I bought long ago and never had a use for them until now! While I was on the clipboard idea, I decided to make a pencil when I looked down at my craft table and saw a scrap piece of More Mustard. Perfect. I cut it to about 1/2″ wide and drew the tip in Basic Black Marker. It’s hard to see in the picture, but I also used the More Mustard marker to draw vertical lines up the pencil, and a squiggly line to show where it’s sharpened. The metal ring is a piece of Basic Gray card stock and the eraser is a piece of Riding Hood Red, sponged with the same color ink.
The checklist itself is stamped in Black ink, colored in with Old Olive marker and Real Red marker. The card base is Creamy Caramel layered with a piece of Old Olive that I stamped with the Wheel Lots of Dots in Old Olive ink. I ran the wheel vertically, then across to make a checkerboard pattern.
At the bottom, I glued on two Riding Hood Red 1/2″ circles (punched with my 1/2″ Circle Punch) and popped in two small metal brads.
The clipboard is attached with dimensionals, and the pencil is just clipped in the paper clip.
Inside, I stamped the “Relax” and “Happy Father’s Day” sentiments from the And Many Mower set.
