Father's Day card for my Father in Law


Gosh I was enjoying my crafty day today so I thought I'd get my Father's Day cards started....it's not that long to go!!

I bought this digi stamp from Digi Stamp Boutique with my FIL in mind, he's a whizz at DIY and spent last weekend putting up a fence for us, so very apt lol. I coloured "Jim" in with promarkers and cut him out with my nesties. I followed a sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers blog which I really enjoyed. I used K & Co Hopscotch papers, inked around the edges with blue ink, and embellished with brads and a simple sentiment.

This also fits the theme this week at One stitch at A Time, which is Boys to Men.
