Good morning! Isabella's Challenge blog will have a lot of great "man" cards posted this week. Those manly cards are a real challenge for a lot of us. I know they are for me! ;D
So for some inspiration go check out the DT's examples...I know you will find some great Inspiration!
The card I made is for my DH. When I saw this image by Isabella I was so reminded of my DH and our little 8 year old Connor. Fishing is one of the many things they enjoy doing together.
The other very special thing about this card is the photo I used behind my colored image.This is one of the beautiful photos my Dad used to take on his almost weekly fishing trips.
I've never met anyone who loved being out in his boat so very much. I remember when I was a little girl and even sometimes as a teenager...my Mom would wake me up early on a Saturday morning and whisper "Your Dad is going fishing...I hate for him to go alone...will you go?" I grumbled a little about being woken so early but I truly loved being out with my Dad. He was so very patient...NEVER got cross if my fishing line and lure ended up caught in the trees and bushes and spent half the day untangling my line!
Such a big ole sweetie of a bear! Man I miss him. He passed away 3 months before my twins were born. He had been looking forward to his new little fishing buddies so very much!
Well...after finishing this card...I realized it was as much for my Dad as it is for my sweet husband. And that's a good thing. They were great friends and great fishing buddies.
Here is my card: (finally!...did you think I might go on forever!?)
I used Isabella's Dad digital image. I colored then cut out the center and layered both pieces onto my Dad's photo. It's one of my favorite cards.
All card stock is by Gina K Designs. The image was sponged with Momento inks and accented with Sakura clear gel pen. Other: eyelets,twine, Gina K ribbon and patterned paper by DCWV
