When I thought of a Father's Day card for my dad, I thought of his love for birds...so I went to my FAVORITES!! Thank you Nancy Littrell for your beautiful, inspiring card!! Chickadee Thoughts by nancy littrell at Splitcoaststampers
Connected to this card was a tutorial on how to make a chickadee. I did not sponge my guy, so he's not so fancy...but I think he's cute. After looking at pictures of chickadees, I noticed they have little black shiny eyes, so I just chose a little 1/2 black pearl...if you look closely, you can see it. The sentiment I originally bought to make a card for my son to make a Father's Day card, but used it for me, as well...I have Happy Father's Day inside the card...simple, but me! Thanks for looking...hope your day is full of sunshine!!

What a wonderful Father's Day card - I love the chickadee, I'm not familiar with different types of birds, but it looks like a natural bird, and it's great that this will be personal to your Dad and his interests. Love the heart sentiment too.

What a fantastic chickadee, Lisa!! You made him look so realistic, right down to that shiny eye. Genius!! This will make a super Father's Day card for your bird-loving Dad. He's sure to adore it
