Since we are a scouting family and my guys love the outdoors it was easy to think of a theme. Their best day ever would be fishing and camping in the great outdoors. Last summer they went on a trip to Yellowstone and couldn't say enough about the beauty of the outdoors. (So they don't appreciate ribbons and pretty bows, bling, and shiny paper. Still gotta give them some credit for knowing a good thing when they see it.!!!)This is what I came up with - a card for my sweetie that will be perfect for Father's Day.
This was a great opportunity for me to crack open those new Waltzingmouse stamps I just got in the mail (love the smell of new stamps!!!). I used the Gingham & Co. for the trim and background. The squirrel in the background is a nutcracker I got a few years back.
The Fleur De Lis is from the Vintage Labels 2 set, and the frame is from Vintage Labels 3.
The sentiment is from Seasons of Love Tags (which is not only for Xmas and Valentines!!!).
Other supplies used:
Paper - K&Co. Boy Scouts of America Collection
Punch - Martha Stewart
Dies - Spellinders
Ink - Momento
