Happy Father’s Day

Welcome Everyone;

It’s hard to believe that another month has gone by, and we are definitely into spring and before too long summer will be here.

Flowers will be in full bloom butterflies will be looking for places to land, that is if they aren’t caught by the Butterfly Guy.  Yep, he is definitely on the hunt for these butterflies.

After colouring Butterfly Guy (High Hopes Stamps) with Copic Markers, I used a square die to cut it out.  Some Clear Zig Wink of Stella on the Butterflies and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Welcome HH Fans;

It would certainly be nice if the weather got a bit warmer and the grass becomes greener and longer, so that Bob can mow his lawn.  He certainly looks like he is enjoying it.

For today’s card, I have used Lawnmower Bob from the Men and Boys’ collection that was recently released from the Retirement Vault.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I inked the edges using Antique Linen Distress Ink.  Instead of using design paper, I used an embossing folder, some coloured cardstock and inked the edges using the same Antique Linen ink.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off this very CAS card.
