Allergy season really impacted the McKenzie household this past weekend so we were all pretty sluggish while trying to stay cool in the sudden heat wave that hit us here in NW Ohio. Nothing like spraying everything - including Spot, our awesome four-legged companion - with Lysol to combat the music of blowing noses and sneezes!
The color palette was drawn from the True Gentleman DSP (recently retired)... Night of Navy and Tranquil Tide with Very Vanilla made a rather classic masculine card.
The sky was a light watercolor wash with the Aqua Painter and Night of Navy ink from the ink pad lid. The speed of the bicycle is captured through generation stamping.
And yes, I also had to create a card on behalf of our son... he and his dad are like two peas in a pod.
I stamped the seaweed stamp along the outer edges of the Tranquil Tide layers for a custom look. The Seaside Shore fish were fussy cut and popped up on Dimensionals. Dad Jokes (retired) was absolutely perfect for the sentiments between my boys as it sounded just like them! I was laughing and smiling while stamping away creating this fun Father/Son card. :)
So what did I do to get some fresh air? I went for a bike ride.... well, I actually wanted to go for a bike ride but it was too hot! So I decided to make a card that made me wish I was doing what I was stamping.

The sentiments were perfect for my hubby who totally lives by the sentiment on the front. He amazes me every day with everything that he accomplishes!
