Today I have made an adorable card for my dad.
Although I share no blood relation with him, he is the greatest dad on earth to me.
Unselfish, giving, loving, you name it, that is him.
After my mom died he did not need to keep up the dad role to me, like I said he is not my birth father. He is not even my adopted father as we never proceeded with him adopting me when he married my mom. I was 11 years old at the time.
Short story, he is still there for me. He still takes more responsibility of me and my kids than I feel I deserve sometimes.
My mom was an AVID stamper. She loved making cards.
I used a combination of chalks and Pearlescent Water Color Paint.
The paint gives the seals a shimmery look.
I used the phrase as the beginning of my sentiment..
and then just added some mini stickers to spell out the word DAD.
I added some Dew Drops around the front to add a special touch.
I really love the way this turned out.
I have to thank my MUSE for this week. (Secret here, she is OFTEN my muse!!)

What a beautiful card! I love the tent layout and the feel of ice! You really out did yourself with this one. What a great dad you have too! Reminds me of my daddy!! He isn’t with us any longer but he was the best and he adopted me when he married my mom!!!
Wow! I think this is my favorite card ever! I just love everything about it. Thanks for using my image to make it! I’m going to have to try tent cards. I also really appreciate how you post about your dad.
What a gorgeous card. The seals really look like they are in the ocean basking on the ice. Beautiful coloring and awesome design.
All I can say is “WOW”!! Your card is amazing!!! Beautiful job! Love how you did the sentiment!
