Happy Father's Day

It isn't often that I find three challenges that will work well together on one card.  A sketch challenge and a color challenge are what I usually combine.  When I found myself in need of another Father's Day card, I had no idea what to make.  In came the Color Throwdown challenge, the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and The Paper Players challenge.  The additional of the theme challenge was perfect.  Since this one has to be mailed, I didn't want to get to extreme with layers and embellishments.  I do think the three challenges came together quite nicely.  What say you?


Stamp Set:  Delightful Dozen; Inks:  Pear Pizzazz, Vintage Photo (Tim Holtz); Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Patterned Paper (Unknown); Accessories & Tools:  Postage Stamp Stacklets (Taylored Expressions), Enamel Dots (Unknown), Dimensionals

The colors I used are from the Color Throwdown Challenge.  For all the challenge details, click the image below.
