Father's Day cards

Busy weekend making Father's cards. This one Imogen has made for Poppy (with my help with the stamp-a- jig), Stamp set used is All in the Family.

This is the inside of the card, Imogen has used Chalks for all the colouring in.

Also we had Marine staying the night (Imogen's third leg, Bestfriend) With a little bit of help from me this is what her card looks like.

This one I have made, not too happy with it but it's only for my husband from the kids, so it doesn't matter. HAHAHAHA
Card Recipe:
SU Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise.

SU Other: Retired DSP, Retired Button, Mat pack.

I still have father in law's card to do.....
