Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day, a time to thank our dads for all they do. My Dad is retired now and spends his time in the Somerset countryside, looking after his land (and helping at a local woodland) with his ever-growing collection of old tractors. My sons love visiting him there and Dad even takes his friends on tractor and trailer tides when they visit.
My card for Dad this year has taken on the tractor theme. The stamp set I used is by Sheena Douglass, coloured simply with Spectrum Noir markers. It is perfect for my Dad and I was so pleased when this stamp became available, as I had found it difficult to find suitable tractor theme images in the past.
The backing papers are from Docrafts Mr Mister collection. This green seemed perfect for a country themed card. It's a very simple card really but just right for a country gentleman.

Mr Mister patchwork card

I do love a patchwork card and wanted to show that the technique isn't just for feminine cards.
I've used 4cm squares of Docrafts Mr Mister paper for this card, cutting it so that the card's sentiments are within the patchwork pieces. I've layered the pieces onto a square dark grey card and adhered the square onto a co-ordinating backing paper, on a 6x6 blank, using thin foam pads. It's simply finished with some blue-grey pearls from Scrapberry's (I just love their embellishments and the range of colours is awesome).
The end result would be great for any special man but made particularly with Father's Day in mind.
