As it's Father's Day tomorrow I thought I'd better get a wiggle on and make a card for my ol' dad so when the I saw CASual Fridays had 'Colour Block' as there new challenge I knew it would be ideal for a father's day card .
Whilst blog hopping I had also spotted the delicious colours at Colour Q , so I had my ingredients and this is what I cooked up ...... not sure why I'm on a foody theme ????
Now it's finished I'm not sure it's very obvious it's a shirt cuff and novelty cuff link , it looked different in my minds eye , what do you say ???
It's supposed to be one of those bold patterned shirts with the white cuffs and collar ....you know the smart ones , the 'DAD' cuff link is cut from shrink plastic with a Sizzlets die and then embossed with gold powder . Love the hand-stitched cuff and button hole :)
Well we've had some good thunder storms here today and the garden is looking a healthy green colour again .
Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and thanks for calling in, I really appreciate your time X
