Happy father's day to everyone! Dads rock and deserve so much recognition for stepping up and being real men. Thanks to my DH for all he's done for me and my kiddos! I made this birthday/Father's Day card to for the current SSS Flickr challenge, Birthdays. I used Ranger's holographic embossing powder for a bit of shimmer and Blueprint Sketch, Pumice Stone and Black Distress Inks for my watercolor.
Find me on Flickr HERE!
I embossed the entire white panel behind my Tim Holtz alpha dies to tie in with the stamping. To line the centers of the cutouts up, I inserted the letter for easy placement, then glued in the centers. It is easy to pop the letters back out when the glue has dried.
Thanks to each and every one of you for the most amazing outpour of comments and answers to my questions in my Blogiversary post. The lucky winner is Niki of Pawsitively Creative! Niki, please email me with your address and I will post your prize package. I hope everyone has a lovely week and I look forward to catching up with you now that we are home.

Looks like your DH will be having a grand day today with you and your kids. That card is masculine and retro and awesome sauce! I like the way you used the cutouts.
