Hubby's Father's Day card & one my son made!

Mrs Last Minute dot com here again... trailing in with hubby's father's day card at last!



I've used a LOTV stamp and for some strange reason I decided to colour with koh-i-noor pencils instead of my usual promarkers... probably not my best effort colouring-wise but I do find the pencils very relaxing :o) Papers are Pink Petticoat printed onto linen card, red cardstock is from Papermill Direct.  Cut the stars with the sizzix primitive star die, and then embossed them with my brand new Stampin' Up embossing folder - my new favourite thing I think!  Buttons and twine from stash, sentiment is Elzybells.  Layout is based on an old Papertake Weekly sketch.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

And this one was made by my 8yr old son Morgan... (note the bold type - I didn't colour this lol!)


Bless him, I think he's done a really great job of it, and he was so pleased with himself :o)  I let him loose in my craft room with my promarkers (eek!) and he picked the paper and matched up the colours himself.  He even did the stamped sentiment himself, first time he's ever stamped anything.  I just did the cutting for him.  Image is from DigiStamp Boutique available here.

I've spent the whole day at home with Dex today - I've a horrible feeling he's coming down with chicken pox!  It's going round nursery at the moment, and he's been really limp and hot all day.  He won't eat or drink and hasn't moved off the sofa all day, poor thing.  So I'm expecting to see some spots soon.  Means we can't go and see MIL as planned tomorrow - she's got cancer and apparently because of the reduced immune system it can be quite dangerous for her to be exposed to it, even though she's had it before.

Blimey, I can't half go on!  Well done if you actually read any of that waffle... off to hop around your blogs now...

    Two fabulous cards Lisa - but I think the second one just steals the show today!
    Hope your son feels better soon.

    Both are fab cards, Morgan's colour matching is superb, well done Morgan.
    Hope Dex is better soon. Shame you cna't see MIL tomorrow, but chicken pox would be very dangerous for her, especially if she is on steroids. xx

    Love your card Lisa. The colour combo is spot on!! Morgan's card is amazing!! A little designer in the making! My youngest daughter has the knack too. She's a dab with my Copics and Pros....matches everything brilliantly just like Morgan. Hope little man makes a speedy recovery. Sorry about your MIL too xx Jenny xx

    Hi Lisa, love your card but Dex's is even better lol. I know what they're like. My Zoe who's also 8 loves making cards with me and will only colour with my copics as her felts aren't professional enough?? Best to get C/Pox whilst there young anyway, they don't notice it as much so don't suffer too badly. Hope its nothing and he's a little brighter tomorrow

    Your card is fantastic Lisa, love the colour combo and your colouring is perfect! :o)
    Wow, Morgan's card is AMAZING!! And he chose all the papers and embellies himself - he's definitely inherited your card making skills! I bet your Hubby will be so, so chuffed with it :o))
    Hope Dex isn't too poorly with Chicken Pox if he has caught it, bless him. It's such a nasty virus but especially in adults so better for him to get it now although horrible to see him so ill xxx
    Take care hon,
    Big hugs,

    Great card Lisa. Love that image for male cards, it fits all sorts of occasions.

    And what a great job Morgan's done. Great colouring for a little boy and I love how he's matched the colours in the image, DP and card candy. What a clever boy.

    Poor Dex, chickenpox is not a lot of fun when you're little but at least it gets it over with. Poppy and Oliver had it recently too & poor Oliver at only 18 months had an awful lot of spots! Hope he picks up soon.
