Father's Day is upon us!! A day when we have to make those dreaded "man" cards. : ) Seriously, they do seem to be a bit harder to pull off, but at the same time CAS is the way to go and you don't have to worry about all the extra "fluff". I'm in a bit of a sponging mood due to a card I made that I will be posting later this week. And it's been pretty fun; I haven't done any in quite a while, but I think you will see a few more from me in the near future. Without further ado, here is my Father's Day card for my Dad:
I started out with this card as my inspiration (at least for the image panel). But I wanted mine to have a bit more color. And the reflection in the water was a lucky by-product.
