Rooted in Nature for Fab Friday 171

As I was wrapping up my father-in-law's Father's Day present this afternoon, I realised that none of the many cards in my stash would do for this darling man. We're having an early family dinner tonight for him so I had to get cracking on the job.

Inspiration came from this morning's challenge at Fab Friday.


He's a man who loves trees and gardens so I turned to my old favourite, Rooted in Nature. The skeleton leaves are my favourite images (I think...) from my favourite set. The sky was created by a happy intersection between shaving cream, Balmy Blue re-inker and an acrylic block.


I've highlighted the Pinewood Plank by swiping white pigment ink over it lightly. The triple-layered 'happy' has a coating of clear Wink of Stella. The bow embellishment in the sketch has been replaced by a pair of Leaves trinkets.



I'm sure my FIL will love this card but I guess I'll find out at tonight's dinner. 😀
