Wellington Bear With Love Father's Day Card

Hi everyone,

Today is Father's Day in Australia - and this is the card that I made for my husband who is a great Dad to our daughter.

The card uses the Wellington Bear range brought out by Docrafts years ago. I loved this range so much when I saw it that I stocked up because the images are so perfect for guys.

All the designer papers are from this same range and were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools. The main image is diecut decoupage which makes it very easy to pop out the pieces and layer them together with dimensionals.   The sentiment is also from this range.

I punched some hearts using my Carl CP-8 Heart duo punch and added a wee bit of sparkle using my Wink of Stella clear glitter brush - alas not captured by my camera.

Here is a close-up so you can see the layers:

Lastly, I added some Darice kraft twine which has a sparkly dark chocolate thread running through it which looks gorgeous in real life.  From memory, I bought this twine from Riot Art and Craft.

We are having a quiet day for Father's Day as we are still in a Stage 4 Lockdown here in Victoria - but the weather is beautiful and sunny which is very cheerful and perfect for going for a walk.  It is so nice to see our Spring bulbs out in flower and to see new leaves on the trees.  

I have made heaps of cards in the past 2 weeks including starting my Christmas cards which is the earliest I have ever started - but I have finished all the birthdays for the year so I figured I may as well start.  

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
