A Father's Day card for my Honey

So, it's the day before Father's Day and I haven't made a card yet for my husband.  I've sent my Dad's off in the mail, but I was still percolating on Eric's card.  I looked around on some of the various challenge sites, and was inspired by two.  Create with Connie and Mary's color challenge and the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches (both new to me).  It always amazes me how with just a bit of guidance, ideas abound. After going to the gym to sub a TRX class on Saturday morning, I was inspired on the drive home.


















When I got home,  I went to work.  A little bit of the Soho DSP, the banner and letter stamps from the polymer stamp sets, and stamps from two of The Paper Pumpkin kits.  It's fun how lots of different bits can come together. So let me know how you enjoy the card.  Thanks!
