June Cookies - Take 1

I loved the picture for this Challenge because I really did have the BEST Dad ever !! He was my hero, my best friend, my reading buddy. He always made me feel better no matter what and I miss him every day.  I was only lucky enough to have him for 17 years but I cherish every memory of us together. And every year for Father's Day, I make a card that I know he would love. I hope that you love it too !! 

My dad and I were inseparable. He loved to read and passed his love of books on to me. We walked to the library several times a week . I can remember that long before I could actually read,  I would sit with him and hold my book, turning the pages when he did. To this day, I still sometimes find myself wishing I could tell him about a fantastic book that I've just read.  I wonder what he would think of my 2 e-readers . Probably would not be a fan !! My card today celebrates my love for my father and our shared love of books.  I used the perfect digi-stamp sets from Vera Lane Studio :  Father Daughter and Book Lover. 

• I printed the  images of the father, daughter, sentiment and the books on Neenah Stardust White cardstock, and fussy-cut them .  
• The images were colored with Akashiya SAI Watercolor Brush pens and my new fabulous Zebra Mildliner Creative Marking Tools .
• On a black glossy card base, I adhered a piece of outdoorsy paper from a fun paper pad I found at Joanns.
• I cut the sentiment, leaving  room on the right edge for a fun strip of washi. 
• I adhered the books, father, daughter and sentiment to the card base with my Tombow MONO + Adhesive Runner .
• Glossy Accents was applied to the lenses of the glasses .

This Challenge will be live for 2 weeks so link up a project by June 27. Show the fathers in your life how much they mean to you with a fun project !! And don't forget to take a look at all of my teammate's creativity over at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie . 

Until next time, Stay Creative.
