My dad was a man who never expected any kind of fuss to be made over him, not even on his birthday or Father's Day. He used both of those occasions every year as an excuse to go fishing and just have quiet time. Since both his birthday and Father's day were in June and since I was out of school by that time, I got to go with him on many of those occasions. It was wonderful, father-daughter, quiet time and I still love fishing and enjoying serene, quiet time.
When I discovered our new challenge at QKR Stampede this week had a "For the Guys" theme, I immediately dug out my favorite "Going Fishing" image (Digi 13209) and paired it with the "Fishing Is" sentiment (Digi 12401) as an homage to my dad. Today would have been his birthday. :-D
I colored the image with ProMarkers, die cut it with a Cheery Lynn stitched die, and inked the edges. I did the same with the sentiment. The other two die cut pieces were done with dies from Spellbinders. The ribbons were in my stash. Can you tell I've just gone crazy over those 'bow tie' bows? I seem to be making them for about every third card, give or take. :-D

Blue isn't necessarily required but a monochrome creation is.

It's wonderful to see two different takes on this image that both give me inspiration. I have this image but yet to use it. This week's theme might be the time.
Wonderful and cute card Connie. Especially wonderful too since it would have been your dads birthday. Know he would have loved this!
