Father's Day Campout

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

It's Father's Day and we are having our Pittsburgh son here for dinner. I am serving cedar plank grilled salmon, filet mignon steaks, twice baked potatoes and grilled asparagus ravioli. I also have appetizers. 

Lots of food and if we have leftovers, I will have dinner for tomorrow. Highly unlikely though. My hubby and son like to eat. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1004. We were to use lemon-lime twist, melon mambo and pumpkin pie for the color trio. Optional was to make it a birthday card.

I decided to go with a Father's Day theme card. So, I skipped the option.

lemon-lime twist, melon mambo, pumpkin pie

I created this one for a close friend who loves the outdoors and their camp in the woods. A card with cute critters in an outdoor scene is perfect for him.

The background designer paper had the challenge colors or close to it. It's from the Stampin' Up "thoughtful Journey" collection. To get a deeper shade on the fox and the fire, I cut in pumpkin pie cardstock and shaded with pumpkin pie and spiced marmalade inks.

I cut the deer image in pecan pie cardstock and added the Father's Day sign in lemon-lime twist to complete this card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time......God bless.
