World's Best Father

Welcome HH Fans; 

It would certainly be nice if the weather got a bit warmer and the grass becomes greener and longer, so that Bob can mow his lawn.  He certainly looks like he is enjoying it.

For today's card, I have used Lawnmower Bob from the Men and Boys' collection that was recently released from the Retirement Vault.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I inked the edges using Antique Linen Distress Ink.  Instead of using design paper, I used an embossing folder, some coloured cardstock and inked the edges using the same Antique Linen ink.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off this very CAS card.
