Just dropping by to share the card that I made for my Dad to celebrate Father's day. I left this one really simple so as not to detract from the stunning image of the birds.
The stamp comes from Crafty Individuals who stock beautiful red rubber plates.
They have a wide range of gorgeous images in their online store and delivery very quickly.
I coloured with Distress inks, highlighting occasionally with Shabby Shutters, and fought the urge to add any Glossy Accents, gems or ribbon. I love the fact that this block reminds me of the prints and fabrics of 'William Morris' and has a real 'Arts and Crafts' feel about it.
Finally, thanks to everyone who suggested that I try Memento Ink with my Promarkers... I have placed an order and will be lying in wait for the postie on my day off!
Happy crafting everyone!

Hi me again, forgot to say Crafty Individuals also make fabulous paper pads, their Christmas ones are beautiful!!
Hi Jo, Glad you decided on Memento Ink, it's my choice for pro and copics.
I agree with you about Crafty Individual Stamps I have a few of them. Earlier in the year I bought the most gorgeous tree with little thins hanging off it and a little step ladder leaning against it, it is lovely.
Your card for you dad is really nice, hope he liked it. Debbiexx
