ColourQ #344 & Creative with Stamps #3

 

I do not do masculine cards very often but it is getting close to Father's Day and 

CWS is asking for masculine cards this month

  

And I thought the colors for ColourQ fit perfectly for this kind of card.

A Wonderful Son's Birthday

 

Today my oldest son, Kelly is 41.  How can that be?  I'm only 30, hee hee....

Last year at this time I was with him in Hawaii celebrating his 40th.  That was so fun.

This year it is cold but at least sunny.

My dad will be 95 on August 29th so this is a card I made for him.  I really struggle with masculine cards.  I think this turned out pretty cute.

The waves are SOL - Flipflops die set

Inks - H/A Soft Granite & Color Box Royal Blue
