Father's Day

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!




The background for this card was done with our GO7 Alcohol Ink on Gel Plate technique
from a couple of month's ago.

Since my hubby likes waterfowl, I went with this Lake Loon die and used the gel plate
background for the sky.  The loon was die cut again from a snippet of watercolor paper, 
fussy cut and colored with some watercolor pencils.  Adding another layer to the loon 
added extra depth.

I used a grass embossing folder to add some extra depth to the area around the die cut.

Challenges:
Simon Says Monday - Masculine
Try it on Tuesday - Birds or Feathers

Absolutely fabulous masculine card, Bonnie. We saw a loon swimming on the lake yesterday. Do your kids call Bruce Pop? That's what my brother's called my Dad.
