Father's Day card

Hi Everyone, I have exciting news, for me anyway, I have been accepted to be on


 I am absolutely thrilled, I have been surrounded by wonderful men all my life including my 4 Brothers, Hubby and Son, so to be able to do male cards more often is great for me.

Here is my first card, a great image a FB freebie from Tiddy Inks. I used papers from Dragon Lair Designs Laughter Therapy digi kit. I did a DL size for a change, I followed a Seems a Little Sketchy Sketch, loosely. I haven't done one for a long time but as soon as I saw the wedges, well it had to be didn't it? LOL.

 All laid out and coloured in PS, with the "tablecloth" changed in perspective so it appeared flat, then fussy cut and layered with Nuvo drops added to the banner sentiment and 3D gloss for the main sentiment. The quote was from the web.

Thought I would add photo and close up of our Azalea I think it's named Firebrand, it suits it's name.

Congratulations on your new assignment. They made a perfect choice to add you to the team. You do super masculine cards. Loving this one, again, shows off your awesome PS skills. Fab sketch, and fab design interpretation of it. Looks very summer-ish (if that's a word), and I love the Nuvo droplets. That azalea is magnificent...don't know if I've ever seen that color before. It looks like a blaze of autumn, rather than summer. So beautiful. TFS & Hugs

Welcome to the team Faith - so good to have you with us. I think your card is brilliant - I love English cheeses (and miss them). Such a great card. xxx BTW - I've just sent your DT member badge!

Big congrats on your DT appointment, very well deserved. I really must try and play along there more as it helps with the male cards enormously.
Your card is wonderful, you are so talented.
