Today is my Dad’s 85th birthday and I am sure with losing my mom in June, this will be a difficult day for him, not that all days are not difficult. We are planning to go to 7 a.m. Mass this morning and then take him out for breakfast. Some of my siblings will be joining us, so it should be a fun celebration.

I used a the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend Marker to color some definition on the canister and glasses. For the whiskey I used the light So Saffron and Cajun Craze. The greeting is stamped in Early Espresso and cropped with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The Cajun Craze panel is embossing with the Timber 3-D folder.
A View from Inside
I decided to use the Happy Birthday from Happiness Abounds. I really love the combo of print and cursive on a greeting.
I really hope my Dad enjoys this card and his Birthday breakfast! Happy Birthday Dad I love you. I know Mom is looking down on you from heaven, so it is bound to be a perfect day!
I hope your dad had a Happy Birthday!
