Knotty Father's Day Inspiration

Photo Details

Poster: #1artist4highhopes

Combined two challenges today, Jeanne's Knotty Challenge and Stef's Acacia inspiration.
I used the mosaic pattern of the Botanical Metal Wall Art piece as my inspiration for the layout. Thanks, Stef! I tilted the tiles because I am the type of person who likes variation and perfect squares bore me! lol
The tiny knots give the cotton floss more interest, thanks Jeanne!
This is going to be hubby's Father's Day card, and on the inside I hand wrote, "In my jungle, you're King!" "Happy Father's Day"
I colored the High Hopes image with Copics.
Stitches are hand drawn with a black gel pen.
Punchies from Tina, thanks Tina!
TFL!
