Appreciate Dad!!

Hello Friends!

With Father's Day this weekend, I am reflecting back

to my growing up years and all the wonderful things I learned from my dad!!

Unfortunately he passed 20+ years ago 

and I would give anything to have just one more day with him! 

There are so many Father's Day challenges out there in blogland

and even though I have no need for a

Father's Day card myself,  I just had to join in the fun!!

I have always LOVED this 'old' (Seaside Sketches circa 2003) SU stamp and

thought it would be perfect for today's card.

I created the background using a variety of Ranger Tim Holtz distress

inks and large sponge daubers (listed below) prior to stamping my image.

Then die cut and popped up each panel for dimension.

A 'Happy Father's Day' banner and this card was DONE!!!
