My wonderful father passed away in 2007 so I won't be able to share this card with him; this card has several shades of brown and a bit of orange - two of his favorite colors.

Super Dad Scenario from long ago: my mom was outside hanging up the washing and my dad was inside painting a hallway to our bathroom.  I was about five years old and when he wasn't looking I decided to grab the paint brush and add some "artistic" touches to the wall.  He just smiled and said, "we better cover that over before your mom sees it" - no scoldings there.....he always had my back.  Such a little moment but I always remember it!

I wanted to create a masculine card with some texture and dimension so I opened up my craft arsenal and pulled out the following:
LoveBug Creations Orange Mama's Mesh HERE
Brown Twine
Stampin Up stamps for Dad's Day and Whisper White and Light Brown Cardstock
A wood panel embossing folder
Distress ink - vintage photo
Gel pen for highlighting and accents

I ran the whisper white with the embossing folder through my Big Shot and inked the panel with vintage photo distressed ink; I stamped out the images and sentiment, fussy cut and mounted each on a piece of cardboard and cut again - for me this is the best way to have images sturdy and defined.  The finishing touches were Mama's Mesh, brown twine, and a corner rounder for the edges of the card............remember no matter how you bunch your blooms, rumple your ribbon, and piece your paper, have fun with it.............cyber Dad's Day..........Mama LoveBug
