Gallery Idol 2013-Round Two {Blimey!!! You're a Treasure!}

Today is the beginning of Round Two for Gallery Idol! Wahoo!

Our "theme" challenge for Round Two is "Defining Dad". 

Dad's can be difficult to "define". They can be sporty, serious, funny, outgoing, office workers, trades workers, teachers, doctors, and so on...is there any one way to "DEFINE DAD"?  Maybe not?! LOL! 

Creating a masculine card, can be challenge in itself! Especially when you are trying to create something for "everyman". Our challenge this week was to Define Dad and create a card that is perfect for father's everywhere!

I decided to have fun with my card and remark on the fact, that in most cases...Dad's are pretty wonderful! They are definitely "Treasures"! I inked up a lot of stamps from the There She Goes stamp set called Shiver Me Timbers and my father's day sentiment came from a Sweet Stamp Shop set called It's a Man's World. 

My theme is pirates and I am emphasizing the idea that Dads have "hearts of gold"!!

I did some paper piecing on my card. I paper pieced this pirate's bandanna and his sash. I went for some "chevron" to keep him in fashion! I also paper pieced the barrel and the treasure chest onto kraft paper and then coloured them both with my Copics. I popped them up on dimensionals.

Here is my father in-law, Glen! 

He is so much fun and one of those dad's with a heart of gold!!! 

Look at that face!!! 

I hope you like my Round 2 Card for Gallery Idol.
