Tuesday Morning Sketches #297. Coloring is therapy for me. So Monday when I started stamping and coloring this I had some heavy thoughts on my mind. I finally was able to complete the coloring and making into a card this morning. Hope you like the little scene I have created.

Steam Punk

I was just playing around with an image a friend stamped and sent to me. I love coloring. Have loved it since I was a child. Sometimes I still sit with my crayons, color pencils or markers and just color for hours.
I've never done anything Steam Punk before, so this was a first for me. I really enjoyed the coloring process and then the putting together the elements to make the image into a card. Hope you enjoy it too!

 At first glance it needs a little more contrast to his top hat.

There now, that's better. I also added some Crystal Affects to the watch and his eyes. Just for a little shimmer.

Finished! Father's Day card for my dad who keeps reminding me he will be 86 in August! LOL
Happy Father's Day to my dad. Do you think I can top this for his birthday???

Best Dad Ever

This is my dad's Father's Day card. I can show it here and on FB because Dad doesn't do the Internet. At 84 soon to be 85 in August, we are so lucky to still have him with us. He went through by pass surgery about his 80th birthday. They said he had 5 blockages then. He's over come that medical issue. Dad is originally from Louisiana, that's why I chose to make this scene scape card for this Father's Day. He and Mom live in Texas now with my sis. So this card will bring Dad back to his roots so to speak.
Regardless, we hope Dad has a very Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day 2013 to ALL the Dads out there!!!

Unique Dad

happy father's day - JFF - worst critic

Sometimes, I can be my own worst critic. But once this card was completed, I just kept thinking I could have done a better job with the sun in the upper right hand corner. I like everything else about this card, but that one corner just chaps my hide! Have you ever seen a straight line of distinction between the sun and the blue of the sky? No! Neither have I. But what's done is done. I will have to chalk that one up to experience and say, "I'll do better next time." Still I wanted to share. If you've ever had a dissappointment moment like mine I'd love to hear about it. Just leave me a comment. How did you handle it? Did you simply let it go like I did or did you start all over again from scratch. I'm just wondering, you know, inquiring minds want to know.

The Greates Dad There Ever Was... - CSCC83

The Greatest Dad There Ever Was... _ Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #83 - The Greatest Game Ever Played use some argyle. My oh my, this was a challenge for me. I don't like golf, but I did watch the movie when it first came out on DVD. But couldn't tell you much about it, except:
Here is a summary of this movie from ImDb:


" Near the turn of the twentieth century, young Harry Vardon becomes a champion golfer but learns that his amazing skill is no match for the class boundaries that exclude him from "gentlemanly" English society. A dozen years later, a young American, Francis Ouimet, fights against the same prejudice, as well as his own father's disdain, for a chance to participate in the U.S. Open against his idol -- Harry Vardon. The struggles of both men for acceptance provides the background for an amazing contest of skills."
 
Inside my card:
Dad,
Whether you're lending support,
giving advice, solving a problem,
or just having fun, you put love
into everything you do.
 
Thanks for being the GREATEST DAD anyone could EVER have.
 
Happy Father's Day
 
 
Hope you'll check it out and play along with the gals at Cinema Saturday. We always have so much fun!
