A Good Man is the perfect stamp set for a Fathers Day card and is a wonderful outline stamp set that is just made for colouring. You could use markers, alcohol Blends or watercolour with Classic Inks like I have done.
I love the freedom of water-colouring stamped images - there is no stress to get the outlines accurate and you simply colour the image.
I stamped using Archival Black Ink but Stazon or any permanent ink is fine. I've used water-colour paper, Stampin' Up! classic inks and and Aqua Painter.
One of the tricks I use to create a real water-colour look is to leave plenty of white space. This image took just a few seconds to colour using the outlines as guides for shadowing .
The stamped and coloured image is matted onto paper from the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper pack prior to adhering onto a thick Vanilla A4 card base. A little Bakers Twine - Night of Navy and Sahara Sand has been tied around the water-colour paper to bring the blue from the shirt down through the composition.
I hope this quick card has inspired you to create a card for some special male in your life. You can find a list of the products I used below, and if you wish to order any of them you are welcome to use my On-Line Store.

Until Next Time
Happy Stamping!
