Jane 

I'm just trying to get ahead on some cardmaking these days, before the beautiful weather finally arrives here!  For today's card, I used an older image called Handy Dragon (Q106), along with the Lg. Happy Father's Day Sentiment (H076).  The image was coloured with Distress Markers and a blender pen, as well as, with Twinkling H20's.  It's a bit difficult to see the shimmer in the picture, but it is there.  The embossing folder is called Diamond Plate.  I thought it looked appropriate for the fix-it kinda dad!  For an added touch, I used some screw brads on the wood-like background paper, and some smaller ones around the sentiment. I realize that Father's Day isn't until June, but it never hurts to have some cards ready ahead of time!!!     

Supplies used: 

Ink - Coloured with Distress Markers-Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Black Soot, Scattered Straw, and Vintage Photo.
