A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - June 2020

 Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge. 
  This month we are very lucky to be sponsored by "Dr Digi's House of Stamps".
 I decided to make a Father's Day card for my youngest son to give to his dad.  As my husband loves his tea (normal tea, peppermint tea, berry tea, lemon and gingers etc) I thought this Dr Digi's digital image called "Feet up and a Cuppa".  Yes my hubby is younger than this chap but he has started growing a beard again so will look like him soon!!

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and inked around the edge with Tim Holtz's Peacock Feathers distress ink.

The backing papers are from The Works and every backing paper and die-cut has also been edged with the Peacock Feathers distress ink.

I have used an alphabet die set to cut out the word "DAD" and layered it up twice for some more dimension, used a Sizzix circle die and some tag dies a friend bought me which I added some Viva Declor chrome pen to the centres of the tags to look like brads.

I have finished the card off with a stamped sentiment and some spotty grosgrain ribbon.

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Creative Fingers - Anything goes
Cut It Up! - Boys will be boys and die-cuts
Crafty Catz - Anything goes with the optional twist of at least two layers
Creatalicious - Anything goes with the options of birthdays

Our Die Cut Divas' theme is Summertime Fun and even though your theme shows "Anything Goes", your Father's Day card fits in with summertime fun and Father's Day in June. I can remember my grandfather sitting in a chair with his feet up and I would climb on the limited lap space there was to sit on his lap. What a delightful scene to make for your son to give his dad.
