I do cards for all the "Dads" in my family every year and those include my son, grandson, and SIL. My own dad has been gone many years now but I was so close to him, I always think of him on Father's Day.
Today's card has one of the happiest little mutts ever and would have been perfect for my dad who was a true animal lover, but mostly dogs populated his life in the years when I was growing up. The image is a Penny Black stamp.
I colored with watercolor paints and a brush, then cut the image and frame with dies from Amy Designs. The die cuts were so detailed that I simply layered the image onto the yellow card front, added the sentiment, and left it without embellishment. It's a pretty CAS design that looks more complex.

Love this! I always feel sad when Father's Day & Mother's Day theme's come around, but making cards for all the Dad's (and Mum's) is a good idea.
