Morning I'm back, been a tad busy this week, sorry if I haven't visited you, going to try to catch up with some lovely LIMettes later on. Sun's shining and Mr Mustavcoffee's up a ladder painting, windows, we are going to look smart:0)
OWL56 is at Susan's this week
OLW Rules
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half. No other layers allowed.
2. Make a Father's Day card (for a father or special father-figure in your life). Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.
3. Upload your card somewhere online and link back to it using the InLinkz button on the sidebar of Simplicity.
4. The most important rule of all: HAVE FUN!!!!!
I chose contraptions this week because my father loved gadgets, sadly he's not around anymore but I think he would have been fascinated by all things steampunk, in a masculine sort of way, if you catch my drift and he wouldn't be bothered about sentiments, so I left it off!
I was really pleased with my smoke, LOL It's the little things, as a certain Mr Holtz would say:0)
I hope you like, I think Susan may not be so happy because although it's CAS it's certainly not tidy, sorry Susan :{
Hope your day goes well everyone and Thanks for looking in :0) xx
Stamps by Tim Holtz, Steampunk, it's the background stamp, I love it! I got mine at the Craft Barn.
The contraption stamp came from the Scrolls work stamp company.
Coloured with 2 Cool grey shades, Copic, C1 and C3,

WOW - that is one SERIOUSLY FAB Father's Day card. Best male card I've seen for a while and I like that there's no sentiment on it too! How do you do it? Tell me your secret!
