This was done to honor Francie today I came across this gorgeous card hours and hours ago. ( as always I am firt totally drawn in to color/texture combo's and my first thought was WOW! (Ilikethis!) followed by that would make an awesome fathers day card. which lead me to thinking about my dad and ( he lives on the coast) so, that was easy enough to switch over the scene to a lighthouse one and ( I have been fighting a headache this afternoon so coloring the scene was out.) so, one change is its kinda monochromatic colorwise and the back gems were switched to the other sides and multiplied like crazy instead of just 6 perfectly placed ones. Francie, I hope you like this and enjoy your week! tfl.

Oh, Stacy, first I'm so sorry you have a headache today! Hope you feel better after a good night's sleep! What a fabulous masculine card for your dad for Father's Day and a wonderful card to honor Francie, our Featured Stamper this week. Just love the rustic feel with the DP and the corrugated paper! And the brads and the twine are perfect for a man! I love it, and it really doesn't need an coloring - it stands perfectly with a monochromatic scheme - love the gray and blue/green!! Hugs, sweet friend, and feel better!

Stacy, this is awesome! I love the corrugated texture and that gorgeous woodgrain dsp. It's the perfect background for the scene, and I really like the multiplying gems!
Hope you feel better!

First, you are amazing to be able to make something this gorgeous with a headache! The corrugated bg combined with the wood grain dp looks incredible. I love the subtle colors that you used, and the explosion of gems is a tertific addition. I could never line them up do well. What a wonderful card for your dad. Thanks for playing along. I am hopping that you are ferling better.

Lovely Father's Day card with the lighthouse theme. I like that you left the image as a line drawing and wonderful choices for your bg DP and corrugated CS. Those tiny silver brads really give it a "pop".

Love the 'flavor of the sea' scene you created with Francie's inspiration!! You made it super masculine with the wood look, the brads and the twine! This is an awesome Dad's Day card!
