Father's Day!

Just had to share my latest card with you! 


It's for my lovely Dad for Father's Day!
I used Gina Giraffe which was a freebie from Digi's With Attitude! this month!

I do so enjoy colouring up these little digi's!
My card it very simple but I like it &  hope you do too!
The image was coloured with promarkers & then I edged with a promarker after trimming to shape!
I used a sheet of coloured card, scored it at A4 half fold & made it a square as the base for my easel card! 

I dry embossed a line down either side of the front, where the image was going to be.
I did the same with a couple of lines across the bottom at the front.


I made the topper by using a piece of the same coloured card for the easel section then matted a layer of tissue & a couple of tissue squares, then topped with the image.
 I added a computer generated sentiment to the front too! 
The stop is again the card, tissue & a computed generated sentiment. I used foam tape to attach the sentiments for dimension. 
I finally added a ruffle of ribbon!
Thanks for stopping by!

  6. This card is exactly how I feel (I forgot to order my father's day gift and he lives out of town. Oh well, he'll understand.) Absolutely love your card and that image is great! The ruffled ribbon is a perfect compliment to the image.
