Meljen’s Designs – Gone Fishing

Father’s Day is creeping closer so I thought I would share the card I made for my Dad for Father’s Day. If you don’t remember this Fisher Moose image, Melissa made it in remembrance of her father who loved fishing. Since my dad is also an avid fisherman, I thought it would be perfect.

I thought this cute little sentiment sign, from Raindrop Echo Designs, is also perfect for my dad. He has a HUGE lawn and it seems like anytime I call him during the summer, if he is not fishing, he is riding his tractor, mowing the lawn.

Before I forget, the challenge this week is RED, WHITE, and BLUE. You can find all the details on the Meljen’s Designs blog. Since it is Thursday, Melissa is also releasing new digis. These images will be in the Whimsy Stamps store today.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a great week end!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Fisher Moose by Meljen’s Designs, Great Day to Fish by Raindrop Echo Designs (Both available on Whimsy Stamps) and Just My Type by Technique Tuesday
  • Inks: Close To My Heart Garden Green, Distress Inks Antique Linen & Crushed Olive
  • Papers: PaperTrey kraft CS, The Paper Company kraft CS, Neenah Solar Crest white CS, Close To My Heart Rustic Trails DP pack
  • Tools: Copic markers, Sewing machine, Big Shot, Tim Holtz embossing folders, Stampin’ Up 1/4” circle punch
