Fathers Day with personalized greetings

Since Father's day is just a couple of days away, I wanted to make a special card for the man many children in my house call DAD!!
I am using lots of things from Canvas Corp and 7 Gypsies.


I used the 7 gypsies stamp sets called Numero and Ephemera.  


You can see that I took the die called Window C and used it as my focal point.  The Window not only worked as my base but also worked for me to clip the bits and pieces of embellishments to the card with the mini clothespins.


I backed the frame with the Zig Zag border and used the leftover scraps from cutting the Lace Light Deco Border. As you can see, the leftovers work like a mini banner.


I used the Scalloped Square set for my tags that you see hanging with the clothespins.
I love the way this turned out.  It is truly a one of a kind card and thanks to the supplies that I used it is also personalized with dates and phrases that will be meaningful to the recipient.
I hope you have a great weekend.  Enjoy your fathers, brothers, grandpas, sons or whomever you share your weekend with.
This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's post.
