This past week has been so busy as we've been entertaining Australian visitors and showing them the sights in Fraser Valley where we live. It's fun to be a tourist in your home town and revisit many places we sometimes take for granted.
Here is this week's sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge designed by Michelle and digitized by Brandi. I love this layout. How about you? Are you ready to try a card challenge.
Here's My Card:
Although my own father has passed away, I often get requests from friends and customers at this time of year for father's day cards. So this card was made with with Father's in mind, however it could just as easily be a birthday or retirement card.
Although this is a simple card, I've ramped it up a bit by putting the bi-plane on a pop-up mechanism, so it appears to be flying. I've been having a lot of fun with this feature and later on in the post will share some other cards I recently made using the pop-up mechanism.

ALL of these cards are amazing! Each one is so special in its own right! I do love the hues and plaids you've used on the first one...very cool indeed! So happy you used our sketch this week at the Atlantic Hearts Challenge!
You may say this is simple I say it is fabulous! I love the colours and not to over done which in my opinion is perfect for masculine cards, which I personally struggle with, I love it! Thanks for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).

Thanks so much LeAnne for taking the time to comment. I'm happy you thought they were all special and you liked the color mix in the first one. You made my day!
Brandi you are always so kind, I'm glad you love the colors and not too overdone. I like to keep my masculine cards as simple as possible. I know my guys and they don't like to fuss with too much fancy stuff. Cheers to you!
