A special shout out to all the dads in our lives. Today is YOUR day!
My husband has been my best friend, partner and "god send" this year. As many of you know, I had a minor knee surgery in March with subsequent complications, resulting in weeks of pain and immobility, a second surgery, hospital stay and a month of IV antibiotics. And through it all, my "rock" was a champ. He helped me get around the house, did all the cooking, laundry and shopping, and even learned how to administer my antibiotics!
So although he's not MY father, he IS the father to my kids, and he's also been someone without whom I couldn't have survived the past few months. A special card is due:
This card combines the best of both of us. My husband is a music lover and musician, and I am a "beach" person. Other than the linen thread, this card uses all new items:
Sheet Music,
So Many Shells, and
Just Add Text.
The card base is
Crumb Cake, 4-1/4" x 11". The Sheet Music background stamp was inked with Crumb Cake and stamped on a piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Crumb Cake, and I sponged the edges. I also roughed up the edges with a retired distressing tool. Then the
Linen Thread was wrapped and tied in a bow; the layer was adhered to the card base.
The shells are two-step stamping. Inks used are
Crumb Cake and
Soft Suede,
Powder Pink and
Blushing Bride,
Wild Wasabi and Old Olive, and
Sahara Sand with
Early Espresso. The shells were fussy cut and adhered with
Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso and cut with the
Stitched Shapes framelits.
After the past few months, I am truly HAPPY that my husband is in my life! Happy Father's Day, Jim!
