Gone Fishing !

    HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

to all the Dads in the U.S.!

     Catch the Bug Challenge has a fun BINGO board for their challenge theme this week and I picked the middle column:  Stitching, Bugaboo Image, & a Sentiment.  The Bugaboo Stamps image is one of their "Sunbonnet" collection but I decided that because she's dressed in coveralls while she's out fishing, 'she' looked more like a 'he' in a straw hat and I could do a masculine card!  If my dad was still with us, he'd be spending his "Father's Day" on the river bank, wearing his straw fishing hat, with baited hook on the pole.  :-D

Colored with ProMarkers, gel inks, & water colors

Cut w/ stitched die from Tutti Designs

Chocolate Kind of Love

     Catch the Bug has a theme of "Child's Play" and I'm still thinking back to those fun childhood days of Valentine exchanges in school but wishing someone had put chocolates in my Valentine box.  :-D  This adorable little sunbonnet girl is an image from Bugaboo Stamps.

Sunbonnet's Candy Cane

     It's Anything Goes week at Catch the Bug and I took the opportunity to make one more Christmas card for my stash.  This one features Fancy Sunbonnet (my favorite Bugaboo Stamps character!) with her huge Christmas candy cane.  I don't remember ever getting a candy cane that size but I'm sure that one will last her until July or even August!

Colored with ProMarkers
Image and mat cut with QuicKutz circle dies
Glittered ribbon and satin ribbon for bow (my fav embellie for any card)
"Linen" EF on card front for texture
