Hello crafty friends!
Wow, what a week it's been weather wise ... scorching sunshine one minute, torrential downpours the next, flash floods and then a glorious evening once again! I'm not sure our weather station has picked up the correct rainfall records as youngest Bambino and I were in the car travelling to gymnastics during a thunder storm with hail, rivers running across the roads and a flood at the bottom of one hill! Fortunately I got her to gym OK, and came home via a different route to avoid the flood!
Father's Day has kind of crept up on me this year, so I've only managed a really quick card for my Dad, inspired by the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

Father's Day has kind of crept up on me this year, so I've only managed a really quick card for my Dad, inspired by the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches:
My card recipe is as follows:
- Card base - is a premade A5 card in white
- Paper - is from Sara's Signature Range Just for Men and this clock face paper comes from the Urban Collection Paper Pad. My copy actually came from the CD-Rom which came with Crafter's Inspiration Magazine Issue 10. I love the distressed grungy look of this design!
- Film Strip - is from the Verity Rose collection on the Crafter's Inspiration Magazine Issue 10 CD-Rom. I cut off the top aperture (as it was a bit girlie!) but I reckon the pictures left work just fine on a male card, don't you?
- Sentiment - is from the Mixed Circular Sentiments Set by Lili of the Valley. This set is great value for money as you get 4 main circular sentiments which you can then mix and match with the 36 word strips to make the perfect sentiment! I have stamped my sentiment in Vintage Photo Distress Ink onto cream card, which I've then die cut using the second smallest Die'sire Essentials Circles die.
- Twine - is from my stash, which I've tied in a reef knot on the front of the card
I have been inspired by and would like to enter the following challenge:
- Challenge #356 at Tuesday Morning Sketches
I would also like to enter the following challenges:
- Challenge #203 - Father's Day at Brown Sugar
