It is once again that time of year when we honor our Dads.
 This month I am thrilled to be a guest designer at SweetStamps.

    Hello Elizabeth,
    The water colour work on this card is incredible. Just a stunning job overall. Thanks so much for joining us in our current challenge over at Digi Darla's. Although, it was last week's challenge that was for Dad's, you're still safe this week because the theme is masculine cards which yours definitely is. I hope to see your entries again in future challenges.
