I stamped the image onto light blue card stock and then fussy cut it out and placed it onto some darker shade of blue. I also stamped the sentiment from Gina K. Designs onto the light blue and then layered that to the same darker blue. All of this was placed onto a brown card base. I added some sequins and a layered panel inside for a message and that completed my card.
This will be for another son-in-law. He is a great Dad to my grandsons. He may not be their biological father but he is still their Dad.
Well, I had another afternoon of stamping. It was fun too. Thanks for stopping in.
God bless,
Verna

Love this! I wonder if this is one of those aged looking images that is supposed to stamp this way? It looks perfect to me! Thanks for sharing!
What a tender image and a lovely card. So thoughtful of you to make it to give to your s-i-l. You could also try removing it from the wooden block and use a temporary adhesive in your Misti. Just a thought.
I like the look of the stamp. It may look faded but I think it's perfect how you stamped it! Great father's day card!
I think it is supposed to stamp like that Verna - I really love it! What a great little scene and perfect for Father's Day. Also happen to love the blue and brown combination.
I think it looks fabulous, a nice vintage look. I have been pulling my stamps off my wood blocks when I can and use them in my stamp platform. Anyhow it is a great card for your SIL that I am sure he will treasure!!
I think it looks printed just fine! Maybe this is how it is supposed to be? Did you try turning the stamp upside down and rubbing the paper down to it? That is what I often do with large stamps. Anyhow, this is a great and different image, I really like this as a Father’s Day card!
I think your stamping looks great. Almost distressed. I, too, struggle with my older wooden stamps and usually rip them off the wood and foam, remount them on cling foam, and use them with my MISTI. I'm not sure how I stamped before the MISTI - LOL!
I think your image is stamped perfectly. It has that vintage look of an old photograph. Wood stamps are the worst for getting things crisp, but you nailed it. I love this card, it's so nostalgic and perfect for that special man. Well done!!!
It's a beautiful stamp. Maybe it's supposed to have that somewhat worn look. I see I'm not the only person who has wondered about that. Your card has a wonderfully vintage masculine look to it and I know it will mean a lot to your son-in-law. I still don't have a stamp platform. I use my old Stamp-a-Ma-Jig for the same purpose, but it's too difficult with a very large stamp.
What a wonderful image and card
Wonderful masculine card with a great stamped image and love the brown with the blue. I have pulled off my stamps from the blocks of wood and added foam so that I can now use them with the misti.
Absolutely love this! I don't know how the image should look but it looks very vintage and I think it's perfect!
Wonderful Father's day card, this stamp definitely reminds me of the Andy Griffith. Show
A wonderful Father's Day Card. Love the image and the sequins.
