Dad's Day - PSC36

Can you believe it's Wednesday again already!  Where did that week go?   I did spend all day Saturday moving and transplanting over 2 dozen Blue Daze plants from around my old Oak tree in my front yard.  Sadly the tree has developed Gray Fungus and is dying so it needs to come down.  I wanted to try to save those flowering plants though.  I came home to a surprise - my front yard was naked!   My yard man came today and took the tree down.  I wasn't expecting that.  Well, enough about that.  Time to get on to our week's challenge.

First of all, our sponsor this week is Shelly's Images and the prize is one free digi from her store.

This week we have a color inspiration challenge for Father's Day.  The challenge is to make a card for Father's Day and use this photo.

Wow!  It was pretty tiny, so I made it a little larger, but now it's all fuzzy.  Anyway, the colors are black, gray, red, and gold.  I must say I had a really hard time with this one.  I've said before that I don't do masculine cards very well.  These ladies are always trying to challenge me.  I do love the image that I chose and like the way it turned out.  You would think with as much dp that I have, there would be no problem, but not so.  I did finally find the dp in the BG Oxford paper collection which has been stuck down at the bottom of my paper pad collection stack.

Pretty simple for this one.  I used SU Cherry Cobbler for the base and layered over it a piece of BG Oxford paper and I used the SU Ticket Punch on the corners.  The ribbon is from my stash (wasn't I lucky to have that). The sentiment is computer generated on SU Whisper White and then matted on a small piece of SU Going Gray (retired) which was then mounted on a small piece of SU Basic Black.  I did the same layering for the image which is from Stampin Up Summer Sketches (retired) and colored with my Copic markers:  Skin - E50, E01, E11; Hair - E31, E35, E37; Sand/Grass - E55, E59; Trousers - T1, T2, T3, T6, BV29; Shirts - Y19, Y29, Y32, Y35; R22, R27, R59; Outline - 0, W0, B0000.

I'm sure there's someone that you can create a man card for.  Hope you'll join in the fun.  Check out the rest of the DT and see what they've created for your inspiration.  They're listed on my sidebar over there to the left at Perfect Sentiment.  Also check out our Guest Designers for June:
