Final post for today.... maybe!

Hello crafters, well i did say that i have been busy! Third post today! Anyway, this is the card i made for the DYSU Challenge #46 - Splash of Blue. I used cream, blue, brown  and green cardstock and a lovely patterned paper (it is called Father and Son i think but cannot remember who by, sorry). I punched the circles using a 1 3/4'' circle punch and a 2'' scalloped punch. The 'DAD' sentiment i printed from my computer and distressed it with Tim Holtz Distress ink (walnut stain). The little boat is a brad that i had in my stash. These were adhered using dimensionals and the little green and brown buttons just finished it off. Thanks for looking :)

I am entering this into the following challenges:

DYSU (Do You Stack Up) challenge #46 - Splash of Blue. (http://doyoustackup.blogspot.com/)
