Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day! I love this day because our family does everything for our wonderful Don today! I made this card for him in his favorite colors and he loves old cars and hot rods so I was thrilled when I saw this digi from DZ Doodles. I knew it would make the perfect card for Father's Day! I colored it with my Copics and I tried to give the look of faded(sun baked as my husband calls it) paint. We are always looking for old cars and trucks in a field when we ride up in the back roads of New Hampshire or Vermont. He is always tinkering with this kind of stuff.

I made this card and then decided it was a bit dark so I added a light blue panel to the back to lighten it up. It is hard to see in the picture but it definitely gives it a different look and looks nice when you open up the card and it is still framed in the light blue. I also bought this great grass stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps when I went to the paper crafting convention in W. Springfield, MA a few weeks ago. It has been hard to find grass that will go with lots of different images.

Here are some wonderful challenges that fit this card
