I have DH's Father's Day card done early this year!
I haven't done the inside yet though. That's the hardest part!
I've used a NBUS set that I bought especially for this image.
DH loves ducks and geese and such.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
FATHER'S DAY/FOR A GUY
I watercolored the image using Stampin' Up! markers, then
die cut it and matted that circle on a larger circle of dark green.
Then placed all that atop a dry embossed panel.
A reminder that this month's CAS Mix Up challenge is die cuts.

Your embossed background is perfect for your flying duck - pretty design with the spotlight!

Wow, this is a beautiful masculine card Bonnie! I love that duck scene and love the way you have watercolored it. It looks really good with that embossing folder too. Hugs, Brenda
Wow, your colouring is fantastic on that duck, Bonnie ... and what a fantastic embossed background ... woods and wildlife hand in hand! Fabulous! Hugs, Anita :)
Amazing colouring skills, my friend! You have really brought this image to life! Love the texture from the embossed background ... perfect design to go with your wildlife scene. Happy Father's Day to Bruce! xx
Oh my Bonnie...the Perfect CAS Mixed Media Father's Day card. I LOVE every single detail. TFS my friend.
I love your gorgeous Mallard duck Bonnie, you have coloured him and the background so realistically. (I have a much loved old English ceramic/pottery version. I was called 'duck' as a child) The embossed trees are a perfect backdrop for him. Happy stamping :)
Amazing card Bonnie - I do love the 'quiet' embossing in the background.
Blessings

The touches of dark green and the Woodland EF set off this beautifully colored image so well. Perfect choice of background as everyone else has already said! You really know how to do the special somethings that makes a card great...vs. just nice.
Love the image set against that embossing folder! What a perfect masculine card (something I always struggle with)!
Beautiful Father's Day Card!

Bonnie your card is gorgeous. I love everything you did from the embossing folder to the wonderful coloring. Actually I thought the duck was a print and using the SU! markers for watercoloring gives a great look.
What a wonderful masculine card. Great idea to have embossed woods behind your main piece for this.
Great masculine card. Love the image and the embossed background is perfect with it. TFS
