Greetings - and thank you for calling back. I had hoped to be back sooner, but spring is making real headway here, and not only has spring 'sprung', but so have the grass and the weeds, and several shrubs have needed clipping back before they turned the place into a jungle, albeit a civilised one.

I have another Fathers Day card to share today, and I have again used eyelets for third card in the SCS group challenge, and because they 'fitted' on the card, being masculine. Well that is my theory and I am sticking to it.
I started with a dark brown base and added a layer of Tim Holtz 'idea-ology' kraft paper that I have had for nearly 12 months....
The image is a retro one from the ever generous Karen over at the Graphics Fairy blog, coloured with chalks. The corrugated card has also been in my stash 'forever' :-).
I printed off the sentiment from my computer and cut it into a banner shape - it had to be placed there as a smudge had mysteriously appeared on the image panel.
I am linking this to:
Thanks for visiting me - may your day be blessed.
You bless and encourage me so much with your comments.
Card Recipe:
Card Stock - Dark Brown, Green corrugated
Ink: Tea stain distress ink
Stamp - digi from Graphics Fairy
