Friends of Unity June Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity June Blog Hop. This month the theme is Masculine. Just like last month with the "Motherly Love" theme, both my father and my father in law, are not much for mushy type of cards. I honestly don't think they care if they get a card at all... kind of like when we were little kids, you read it quickly knowing the real prize was inside the card... Money. Instead of finding money in these cards, our fathers will find gift cards to their favorite hunting and fishing store. Somewhat a predictable gift... but one they look forward to and will use.

The layout for this card is one of my favorites. When I struggle with what to make, or sometimes when I need to make a quick card I generally fall back to sketches that I really like. That was not the case when designing this card... but as I figured the male figure looks picture perfect in his “Polaroid” snapshot. This Lawn Fawn lawn cut is one of my favorites with a space just wide enough on the bottom for the sentiment.

Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations... (Psst! There is a giveaway too!)
