masculine/fathers day at That Craft Place

Hello Lovelies! How are you today? I'm good and recovering from my birthday - thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and cards - you're all very kind and I really do appreciate it. Thankyou. Thanks also for all the kind comments on my card yesterday. I hope you like todays offerings - this is the first of two posts.

This is for that craft place challenge blog - I've been working on the team involved with the inspiration side of things - but now we have swapped over and I am now involved in the challenges! This fortnight the challenge is masculine or for fathers day! I used the owl stamp set that I used earlier in the week - its by Sam Poole and I bought it from That Craft Place . They also have a selling page on facebook - thats where I usually shop!

My dad loves green and owls so I'm hoping he'll love this!!! The background was made by running some paper through an A4 sheena folder then dragging the cactus green staz-on pad over the top.

The 'tree' is made from webbing from TCP too. I coloured the bird with spectrum noir pens and used some of the same colours to do some plain card before stamping the sentiments on it!
