For my dad.

I am pretty sure that my dad will NOT see this post and if you know about his big BD party this week don't tell!


I of course made him this card for his 80th birthday! YES you heard me 80th!



I used my image HOISTING SAILS. I colored it in with my prismas and touched up areas and shaded with my copics using w1.



I embossed some chocolate cardstock and distressed it with chocolate ink to make the band in the center.


The challenges I would like to enter are:


Simon Says Stamp sketch


Pile it on Cute and charming ( I think my card is charming?) Not sure if it has to be both?


ABC D is for distressing


Stamp something Fall colors


Stamp insanity Embossing


scrap and stamp Embossing


spoonfull of sugar Dots and stripes


Tuesday Taggers Anything Autumn (I used colors)


Have a good day all!
