Happy Father's Day!!

This is my 900th post!!!!!!! Wow!!! I began blogging in 2006 but it was only a handful of posts for a few years and then it became a regular part of my life in 2008.  Here's to 900 more! Woohoo!

I've been on a roll today with making cards so this is a first of 3 posts so that I can get all my cards in before the challenges end.  First up we have a card for my stepdad.  I had such fun making it this morning (don't you wait til the morning of when you need a card? no??  why not?!) I find I work much better under pressure :)

I am sharing this card with The Pink Elephant #152 - Masculine and I Spy Sketches #20 (whose sketch was based off a Lori Boyd card who is the TPE owner!)

Here is my card~


I made an absolute mess while creating this card. First I put together the base of the card and splatted it with Studio Calico Mister Huey's Mists in Manila. Then I masked the image panel with a rectangle and sprayed the mist over it. After that I colored the image, paper pieced the shirt and stamped the sentiment. Next up I cut these tools from MFT Die-namics using silver cardstock from PTI and spritzed them with the mist. Then I had to clean up my huge mess since the mist was everywhere!!

Here's a close up of the tools!


Here is the sketch from I Spy Sketches - I flipped it so I could hang the tools on the bottom of the panel.


TFL!!
