I have used my own image and this was the first stamp that I fell in love with when I started stamping. The stamp is by PSX and product number is K-980.

 

He is perfect for this challenge and my card is created in a CAS style using SU Shimmer White cardstock and some DSP from my stash.

 

The end of the DSP has been punched using the Scallop Edge Bunch.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

The little sentiment is from the SU Festival of Trees stamp set and reads “ A Merry Little Wish…” which has been stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

 

The circles have been punched using the Owl Builder punch and the heart from a retired little heart punch.

The paper and lace were from my stash and I also used the SU Ticket punch which has not been used recently. 

 

I also decided this would be a perfect Father’s Day card for my Dad.
