You're A Dapper Dude - Retro Sketches # 14

What do you guys think of mustaches?  I have been watching the trend, and ever so slowly thinking that hey, these are kind of cute.  I even downloaded a set from the Silhouette store a month or so ago and figured I would get around to using them one day.  Well today is that day.   Father's Day is coming up and I have two cards I need to make, one for my Dad, and one for my husband (from our boys).  I knocked my Dad's card out today using the sketch from a new challenge blog - Retro Sketches.  This is my first week with this challenge and I wanted to make something masculine, but fun.  My friend Jackie is one of the creators/design team members and I absolutely adore her style.  Every week she comes up with something fantastic, and she's also a Cameo girl so she's doing something right eh?  Anyway, I truly love how this card turned out.  I hope my Dad likes it too.

I love this card, I really do.  As you can see I am still playing around with the sketch feature in the Silhouette Designer software.  Yes, it's going to be a while before I'm tired of this one.  A note to those who want to try this for fonts - not all fonts work well with this feature, you want a chunkier one, and all caps, or all lowercase looks better in my opinion.  The font I used for this card is Titania.  I am pretty sure it's just one of the fonts that came with my computer, I don't recall downloading it.  I am also entering the card in the Little Scrap Pieces Challenge blog.  This week's challenge is to use embossing.  The black strip behind the mustaches has been embossed with a Provocraft polka dot folder.  So I think this qualifies!

Recipe:

Paper:  Joann's Kraft paper, Stampin' Up, DCWV Glitzy Glitter stack (neutrals)

Silhouette:  Sketch moustaches, moustaches, and sentiment;  regular die cut and print & cut images

Embossing folder:  ProvoCraft 5 x 7 polka dots
