I've made a couple of cards for some of the men in my family. We have so many fond memories of time spent at the beach over the years, so the stamps in A Good Man and Lilypad Lake are perfect for them!
Tip: stamp the man on the deck chair first, then stamp off on a scrap piece of paper or a sticky note. Cut out the shape of the stamped image on the scrap paper/sticky note and place over the stamp on your card before stamping the water. You could do the same with the boats - I chose to colour them in darker colours instead so the man on the chair would stand out more. The birds are from the Above the Clouds stamp set.
Here is the inside of the card (this one is for my dad):
This card is for my son:
The stamps in A Good Man are great for birthdays as well as Fathers Day, which is in September for Australians. If you have any questions about techniques or Stampin' Up!, please contact me.
Take care,
