Pride and Joy

Good Morning

I can't believe it's Friday again all ready, aren't the weeks flying by?

I've another Father's Day card to share with you today:

I used Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia cd again and printed the main image onto Crafter's Companion Watercolour Card.  I think these images really suit the 'softer' look that the Watercolour Card produces.

The backing paper is again from the cd-rom, printed onto satin paper and matted onto gold linen card.

I used some Core'dinations card, embossed with D'vine Swirls embossing folder and sanded to reveal the core.  I added some bakers twine for a bit of interest.

The sentiment is Lili of the Valley, heat embossed and matted onto gold linen card cut with a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die.

My card is for the following challenges:

The Secret Crafter- Father's Day

The Crafty Pad - For The Boys

One Stitch At A Time - The Man In Your Life

Crafty Sentiments - Father's Day

Anything Goes Challenge - Travel
