Dustin Pike - Father's day cards!


Good morning everyone!

Well I hope you all had a terrific weekend and got some crafting done or at least took the time to rest!! My weekend was busy as Thijs had a pool birthday party to go to, which was really great, except for the heat.....boy it was hot!!! I ended up driving around 160 miles there and back and as I no longer need to drive long distances anymore, this was a tiring trip!!! Needless to say I ended up with a migrane headache at the end of the day!

Talking about heat....it's supposed to be 98 degrees today! This kind of weather does not agree with me at all with all the pressure in the air it gives me really bad headaches. I have been taking Thijs swimming almost every afternoon, which is nice while I'm in the water but later on I know how the day will end.....another headache!! If anyone knows how to avoid this from happening.....I'd love to hear from you!! And don't tell me to stay indoors coz that won't help!!!

OK, enough about that, today I am sharing two cards I made for Father's Day....I know they are late being posted but at least they are here now!! I used the adorable images from Dustin Pike, and colored them in copics and prismacolor pencils. The little monkeys eyes I also added paper glaze, and Mod podge was added to the cupcakes, just to give a little shine and sparkle!! I got happy comments from the recipients so both seemed to enjoy their cards!!! I was really happy with the monkey card, maybe coz it was so much fun to color and make. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think of them both.

Enjoy your day!
Hugs,
Charlotte
