A tribute to dad

Sadly, my dad died towards the end of 2003 (actually on mum's birthday), so I no longer make a father's day card, but this is the card that I would want to give him if it were still possible.

This is one of those cards that almost made itself, because the Paper Cellar background paper and the Anna Griffin decoupaged sticker say it all, so just the addition of the sentiment and some edge distressing with dusty concord.

With this coming Sunday being father's day here in the UK there are obviously a lot of challenges around atm with that theme, so these are includes among those below that I'm linking for:

Magical crafts 17: 'something for a male/father's day'
Stampin' sisters in Christ 43: 'father's day card or masculine'
Cards for men 12: 'father's day'
Double dutch 45: 'dad's treat (father's day)'
Tellen's place: 'father's day'
C.R.A.F.T. 54: 'father's day/men's cards'
Paper cutz 45: 'father's day'
Town scrapper: 'father's day'
Drunken stampers 20: 'father's day'
Simple doodles 19: 'just 4 you dad'
Fiskarettes Monday challenge: 'male theme'
Crafts by Carolyn TTC004: 'something manly'
CCEE: 'one for the males!'
Incy wincy 45: 'one for the guys'
Cupcake 95: 'one for the boys'
Kaboodle 33: 'anything goes with a dash of purple'
Flourishes timeless 70: 'black, white + one'
