I'm thankful for...Dad

 
Hi there, friends!
 
Just thought I'd pop in quick and share with you a card I made for the challenge over at My Favorite Things.  We are to follow the above sketch.  I thought I'd make a Father's Day card for my husband.  I got out my water color paints and went to work.  And, here is my card...
 
 
 
I started with a white card base and paired it with black.  I used Gansai Tambi water colors on Tim Holtz water color paper.  The dies and stamps are from MFT.  The twine is from Paper Sweeties. 
 
I thank you all for your sweet comments regarding my allergies.  I pulled a few weeds this morning.  I need to get out there and do more.  My doctor said that if I get a terrible allergic reaction again that he'll call in a prescription for prednisone.  So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the pollen count goes way down.  Ok, well that's all for now.  I hope all is well in your world!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!
 
Hugs,
Maria

  6. Maria, this is gorgeous! What a unique and fabulous take on the sketch. :o) The watercolor background is amazing and I love all of the stitched elements. The color palette is equally wonderful! I love the pop of black from the die cuts and twine. The sentiment is precious, too... what a beautiful way to show him you care. :o) Wonderfully done, my dear friend! I pray your allergies improve, the pollen behaves, and that you don't need that prescription. :o)

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen
