Method 2:

  1. Take a cardstock and stamp the word “DAD” in a big and symmetrical font on it. “DAD” must be 2.5 inches high and 2 inches wide.
  • Turn over a printed cardstock and paint on the opposite side. It is essential to dry one color before adding others. You will get a fun design while finishing it.
  • Now, spread gesso on your created design.
  • In the next step, stamp words by using contrasting colors, but you have to do it after drying the surface.
  • When ink is dry, you have to cut out each letter with the help of printed letters to make the word “DAD.” Paste every letter on an adhesive cork sheet and keep the painted side above.
  • Now, you can easily cut each letter from the cork sheet.
  • Do some detailing to the punched words by using a metallic marker.
  • Organize the letters on a blank card.
  • The last step is to select and write some wishes among so many father’s day card messages, and there you go.

So, make your own father’s day card to show appreciation to your father.
