I made this quick card for today's IC185 challenge and yesterday's LSC225 "International Flair". Since I come from a Dutch Background, I decided to write Happy Father's Day in Dutch although they don't have a Father's Day in the Netherlands (at least they did not in the past). I am so behind that I never made my husband a Father's Day card! This inspiration was perfect because Scott loves birds! My inspiration piece is http://www.bugalookids.com/product_p/birds123b.html . I was inspired by the bird on a branch and the colors. My blue is a little brighter than the inspiration but I wanted to incorporate the Flock Together paper. The Allegro embossing folder and brad just looked like a perfect match for the them.
No Stamps!
paper- Flock Together, Bitter Chocolate CS, Very Vanilla CS
Accessories- hodgepodge hardware, Offray Chocolate ribbon, brad, Allegro embossing folder, scalloped border punch, circle punch, spiral punch
Thanks for looking!! Hope Scott likes it!! Thanks for the inspiration Stef!! Before looking at the inspiration, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for Scott's card.

Great card. Love the notes EF you used on the main image panel with the bird on it. I'm sure he will love it.
