Fathers Day

Here are the Fathers Day cards I made for my Dad and FIL, using the George at Work download from Charmed Cards & Crafts. The images were coloured with watercolour pencils, takes me back to my childhood colouring, although I don't go over the lines so much these days!! 'Dad' was cut using Cricut Beyond Birthdays cartridge. Paper and card from stash. The top card was for FIL as he is a bit of a DIYer, bottom card was for my Dad, even though I can't remember the last time he cut the lawn!

Fireman George

I've managed to snatch a few hours crafting today....

Here is the card I've made for the Dottie's World recipe challenge this week, which is :-

• 1 or more Charmed Downloads
• 1 brad
• Ribbon
• Hand doodling/writing
• Dry embossing or crimping (CB embossing folders etc..)

The image is from the George at Work download available from Charmed Cards & Crafts. I have mounted the image on yellow and orange mulberry paper to represent flames, the red card has been embossed with cuttlebug distressed stripes. I finished off the hose with a piece of ribbon, put a brad on the opening of the hose. Doodling around the edge of image and circular handwritten greeting. I am still not entirely happy with the white space on the top of the card, but couldn't find anything that I thought looked right.

I have just discovered the Secret Crafter forum and blog. They have a challenge each month and this month's is 'With the next big event being Fathers Day I thought it would be a good idea to make MENS CARDS the theme for Mays challenge.' so my George card is suitable for this challenge also.
