DAD

Happy Long Weekend everyone....and it is a beautiful one for the last long weekend of the summer here in Canada.

I would like to share a layout with you today, celebrating Dads!


I took this photo of my husband and youngest son back in early June on a rainy day in the garage.

Here are some closeups....


My husband is a mechanic so I drew the circle with a graphite pencil to give the masculine smudged look. Then I added wood veneer stars and a vintage car as embellishments.


I used a Laura Whitaker Designs freebie cut file and layered in some fun papers and my photo.


I also used a viewmaster type circle with hearts Silhouette cut file and tucked it behind the "DAD" cut. To finish it off, I added some water colour paint splatters.


Product List - AC Cardstock, Fancy Pants Be Different papers & stickers, wood veneer from my stash and Crate Paper die cuts.

I was inspired by the challenge at ARTastic - A tribute to Dad.


Thanks for stopping by! Stay Crafty!!!
