My Dad, My Superhero!

Afternoon all,

How are you today? I hope the weather where you are is better than here - we've had it all, torrid downpour, sleet, snow and brilliant sunshine - it's enough to make you feel quite ill. But thankfully I haven't needed to go out today and so I could concentrate on making my dad's birthday card.

I knew back at the start of January that this little image of Mo's was going to make a reapperance on my dad's card - he's just too darn cute! This time I coloured him with my watercolour pencils and mounted him on an oval background which I coloured in using chalk inks and glittering up the edges.

The pattern papers, ribbon and buttons are all new stash that I purchased with my gift voucher for winning Crafty Catz challenge a couple of weeks ago. The papers are from a 6x6 My Minds Eye pad called Blink of an Eye.

This is only the second Trifold card I've ever made and I have to admit I don't know why..... its slightly more time consuming making sure all the pieces of paper are the right size and going in the right direction - but it's so rewarding to make. I think this style may crop up a few more times this year.

I would like to enter this into Creative Inspirations and Simon Say's Challenges of Anything Goes and also into Mo's Challenge of - All My Favourite things; mine being - my dad, awsome digi images, mastering a new style and playing with yummy new stash.

That's everything so thanks for dropping by and looking. Whatever else you get up too - Happy Crafting!
