Monochromatic Father’s Day Card with VersaFine Clair

Posted on June 6, 2025 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project for you. Today’s card is for Father’s Day, but as always you can use this design for what ever you need!

I decided to do a monochromatic theme. What’s that mean really? Well that simply means consisting of one color or hue. Today’s color or hue is blue. Great for masculine. Todays project also allows us to stretch our supplies by using a holiday background stamp, genius I know. Check out the video below for all the details.
