A Simple Father's Day Card

Making a card for a male is more challenging than making a card for a female. At least that's what I feel. I got the idea o make a Father's Day card for my father a few days ago. I have compiled and burnt his favourite songs last night, so I need a card to go along with it.

I've figured out that most of the time, you don't have to use too much decorations or embellishments to make your creation stand out. My father is a minimalist, so I think this card suits him perfectly. I love to mix and match clashing themes and make them work.

Here, I used 2 different colours of paisley-patterned paper on a black card stock. The red alphabets give the card a little masculine feel, while the flower embellishment helps soften the overall look. I wanted to put a picture or something as a focal point, but then, I think it looks great just as it is.

What do you guys think?

  5. rizal: Thanks abg Rizal. Pening jugak nak memilih corak yang sesuai. Glad you think it's okay.

    My dad usually won't show that he likes what I give him, but all I know is whenever I send him a card, he won't let anyone read what I write, because to him, it's personal. =)
