For Father's Day

though it would be just as suitable for a birthday......for the man who loves fishing.......but thought I'd have a break from the teenage male cards......and go for something a bit cuter today.....using a lovely Forever Friends image.
Added a little fish charm to the rod........and the 'picture perfect' sentiment.....which I usually use for scrapbooking.......was stamped onto shrink plastic.......coloured with an ink pad.......then shrunk......it ended up fitting perfectly.
And some more challenges.......Prairie Fairy want 'summer fun'.........Here Come the Boys , Craft Your Days Away ,Crazy Challenge,Lexi's Creations,Crafting for all Seasons and Creative Inspirations want 'Fathers Day'......Simply Create want 'all about dad'

This is nice, I like the colours you have used, I have this stamp and haven't used it yet, but you have inspired me to do that. Thanks for sharing with us at CYDA and good luck with the challenge, Gaynor DT xx
