DDC # 15 - Celebrate Dad

-
Well this is my 2nd post of the day ;)  Busy Monday!  This time it's my card for Digi darlas challenge and this week it's Celebrate Dad.  Just in time for Father's day.  Our sponsor this week is one of my favorite store:
Floppy Lattes Digital Designs ::All Digital All The Time

We had some amazing images to work with please check out the other fabulous card from our other DT.  And some created some amazing cards using Digi darlas images!  


I used Glitterbabe - Handyman dad it can be found in Floppy Lattés design store.  It was perfect for my dad's card since he helped us so much with our renovations.


I colored him up with my copics and created a sentiment that was fitting for my dad.  I also used unusual embellishments ;)  I went shopping in my husband's garage for some nails, bolts and washers.  Here's a closer look:
I just thought it was perfect for this card!

I'm entering it in the following challenges:
  1. Dude time doodles - Boys and their toys (my 3rd entry)
  2. Little claires designs - male theme (my 3rd and last entry)
  3. Dis digi designs - male inspired creations (my 3rd and last entry)
  4. One stop craft challenge - father's day
  5. Dream valley challenges - for that special guy (my dad! )
  6. Sassy cheryls challenge - Dad's and grandads
  7. Shopping our stash - Father's day 
  8. Digi doodle shops - male card
  9. Card mad fairy's Digi Days - father's day or something masculine
  10. The poodles parlour - Father's day/male card (3rd entry and last entry)
I hope you will come and join us this week at Digi darlas.  I can't wait to comment on your wonderful creations.

I hope my dad will like his card... ended up quite heavy ;)
