With Father's Day looming I thought I'd put my thinking cap on and come up with something ultra special this year. See what you think...
My Dad suffered a heart attack a couple of weeks ago and, as he is a really fit and active 72 year old, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. He was only hanging wallpaper for me the week before - how could it be him?!?!?!? He's now back home and recuperating from having a stent fitted into his main artery and annoying my mum because he's having to sit around and rest! He's so stubborn, but thankfully on the road to recovery.
Instructions
Take an A4 piece of card (I've used a green card as my base) and cut to 28cm in length. The measurements for the cutting and scoring are shown on the diagram below:
Your basic double stepper card should look like this:
On the diagram below it gives the measurements for the shed, the hinges, the picket fence and the topiary flowers. The flower pot is a stamp from Art Impressions and I've used 1cm diameter flowers to form the flower ring.
I've entered this card into the following challenges, let's hope Dad will bring me some luck:
Cheerful Stamp Pad - a special reason
