Getting Ready for Fathers Day

I've been so wrapped up with end of school gifts and cards that Father's Day sort of creeped up on me! Eeks!

I created a shadow box for my Father in Law with Guiding Light, so I had a head start.... I just needed to put together a coordinating card to go with.   Which was fantastic because the gift predetermined my color palette for this project! Which of course, is a great jump start on my design process.

I'm going to be really sad when I use up this Parisian Breeze paper because it is my go to favorite paper right now. I use it ALL the time!

I stamped the seagull image from Guiding Light onto watercolor paper with Stazon ink, grabbed some reinkers and a niji waterbrush and started watercoloring.

I luckily have some Nautical Netting leftover - that stuff went like hot cakes over at Gina K Designs.  

Zip, zap stitched and given a quick Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Cardstock liner and one down.

Now, to take care of my husband and my own father.  Better get stamping!

Hi Joanne! This is really nice. I love the seagull.
