Flourishes #1 Dad & Sharon's Paper Piecing Challenge

When I saw this set my first thought was...Ice cold beer. The "Happy Father's Day" stamp took me to another place. Yummy chocolate root beer floats! As a child and a adult root beer floats are a family favorite! I decided to do  Sharon's challenge for the mug, instead of beer I made a chocolate root beer float ( Father ). This isn't as yummy as the real thing but it sure brings back fond memories! If you look closely you will see this card is not perfect. Each detail is a bit off...according to the stamping standards:) But my how I remember making things for mom and dad at school!!! I poured my heart and soul into those things and they loved them uneven, not attached, written crooked, it was all about the love!!

I collect elephants and my youngest daughter during art class in Jr. High made me several elephants with clay. She is 23 now and is totally annoyed those elephants are displayed proudly with all the others in the curio cabinet and entertainment center.

I stamped the mug on dp and cut it out. I stamped my #1 dad stamp on the cut out mug. The foam was stamped on close to cocoa paper and cut out. All stamps are Flourishes LLC. I used All in a row stamp set SU! for the piercing and a matpack.

This card is truly made from the heart! TFL:)

I really like this card, Dee! The offset circle looks perfect to me. I love the papers and the warm "guy" colors. My goodness, I've got things my son made all over the house and they still look beautiful to me!
