Dad's 70th - E is for

Here I am again with another page of my Dad's 70th birthday card from earlier this year.  This week it is the letter E of sevEnty and I've used Feet Up and a Cuppa and Lamp images from Dr Digi.  I've coloured both with Promarkers and I made the floor myself from an off cut of kraft card.

The wallpaper is some papers that I've had in my stash for ages and were from a magazine.  letters are Sizzix Round-A-Bout and the large E is a chipboard shape that I've coloured with a black marker.

Next week is the letter N!  I'd like to enter the following:

Feet Up and A Cuppa

I've used Feet Up and A Cuppa image from Dr Digi for my Dad who has just had a knee replacement op.  Papers are from my stash, I made the floorboards myself from kraft card and printed the sentiment as well.  Image has been coloured with Promarkers.

To Dad

This is the card I'm going to send my Dad for Fathers Day (which is this coming Sunday in case you'd forgotten).  Now, I know he has a sense of humour but I'm not sure if I'm pushing my luck a bit too much here as my Dad doesn't quite look like the image on the card; yes he is balding but he's not quite at the Santa look just yet.  But I do know he likes his tea.

Plus I've never known my Dad to wear a lime green ensemble as I've depicted here, but I do recall some very similar lurid 1970's wallpaper which I'm sure was captured in the many Birthday parties we had as kids........

Feet Up and A Cuppa are available to buy right now so you too can insult your Dad!  Plus authentic Bloomin' 70's wallpaper adds the perfect touch - available in various cringy colours!

PS Don't forget the Birthday Sale - its on until 23 June but you'll need the discount code (on the post below!)

I've used Promarkers for colour and the three die cut letters I found in my stash (the d's are actually b's and p's) and they have been coloured with Promarkers too.

I Love Tea

Ah, perfect cuppa tea.  Ambrose Dunderton assumes the typical Sunday slouch on his favourite armchair and matching pouffe.   The lamp stands on a rug, donated by the generous Mrs C from just down the road.

And what garishly randomly striped wallpaper would not be complete without the three flying ducks.  Ambrose's homage to the irresistable Hilda Ogden (of whom he spends many a happy hour daydreaming about in his comfy armchair).

Feet Up and a Cuppa and Lamp digi's available to purchase from Doctor Digi this very instant!
