My Three Sons....

It's hard to believe that we're in the second half of April, especially when we had snow and hail yesterday!  Thankfully, it was only visiting....not here to stay!   Perhaps it will be better for next weekend?


Today, Im showing you a step card, using an image from Lori Boyd that is only available through the Help For Katie fundraiser.  The link can be found at the top of my sidebar, and the image package is still available until April 20th. 

As my husband is one of three sons, I figure this card would be perfect for a Father's Day card for my Father-in-law.  Once again, I've coloured it up with Prismas plus copics for the skin tones.  The DP is all from the Brioche line, from Memory Box....lovely bright colours, no?

Lots of layers here, both for the image and the card itself.  After using my Nestie to cut out the image, I've attached it with coloured eyelets, and then just a bit of ribbon and a button to finish it off.

Just think, Father's Day isn't really that far off?  With any luck, we won't still be complaining about the weather by then.  lol
