Father's Day card

 Hi friends!  Thought I would post a slimline Father's Day card which I made for my brother.  I coloured up this cute robot some time ago, and I cannot remember who the artist is, nor the name of the image.  Sorry about that. 



Sometimes, I enjoy using Scrabble tiles for sentiments, and that worked out beautifully for this card.  I found the free tiles on Clipartkey:   https://www.clipartkey.com/search/scrabble/

I fussy cut the tiles and inked the edges.  The corner die is from Cheery Lynn.  I cut it twice for added dimension.

Take good care of yourselves, and enjoy your day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Slimline cards are all the craze now.  At first, I really did not like them very much but they are starting to grow on me.  LOL  They fit into a regular #10 business envelope.  How convenient is that, right?

I coloured this darling little guy with Copics and Polychromos.
