Happy Father's Day

Good morning crafters!

How are you all today?  Most of you will know that it is Father's Day today and have probably entered a few of the many masculine themed challenges on the blogs this week.  Anyway, i thought i would share the card that i made for my special Dad.  It is actually his card and present! I made up a voucher and attached it to one of the middle panels.  The easiest present to post!   I will not be with him when he opens it unfortunately as i live thousands of miles away so i hope he will like it.

Just Inspirational Challenges Week 27

Good morning all,

I hope you are all ready for a new challenge over at Just Inspirational Challenges. This week the challenge is sponsored by Kenny K.

We have a photo inspiration and a sketch for you this week.  You can use both for your inspiration or just one.

Here is my card:

I was lucky enough to receive this fabulous digi from Kenny K.  Just perfect for a little man to give to his Daddy for Father's Day don't you think?   I printed the image on white cardstock, coloured it with Copics and coloured the background with Tim Holtz broken china distress ink.   The sentiments are printed from my PC.  The ribbon is from my stash.
