It's Father's Day today here in the UK - this is the card I made for my Dad:
It's a shutter card - the first one I've ever made. So it's basically a gatefold card and when you open it it has a mechanism so that you get a camera shutter effect in the centre to reveal the little bear reading his newspaper - which is Wellington from Papermania - I thought he was appropriate for my Dad as he loves reading his newspaper everyday!
I added the self adhesive trims to the front of the card with some paper from Papermania, then stamped the pocket watch image from Clarity using Tea Dye and Antique Linen Distress Ink - I also used the Antique Linen DI to stamp the script on the inside which is a clear stamp from Inkylicious.
Dad thought the card was fab so that made me very happy :)
I would like to enter this card into a few challenges:

Ooh, never made a card like this one - love the colours you have used and as you say, the central image is perfect for a man who loves his reading.
