Number one Dad

Good morning one and all and back to normal for the bank holiday weather where I live though I'm not complaining as the garden was in desparate need of some rain, though I do feel sorry for the families of starlings, bluetits and house sparrows that are feeding on my bird table. It's so funny how every so often they shake their heads to desaturate. I have found that they absoloutely adore the 1/2 lb smart price packs of lard I buy from the Asda (hubby thinks I'm barmy but then whats new there?). The baby's make me laugh  as they help themselves but if mum and dad are around tyey squark open mouthed as if helpless and starving to death. They all seem to prefer it to the seed and nuts though the bluetits do eat more of the nuts in the hanger feeder but this may be as the starling family are a little intimidating in number.

My card today is the first of my fathers day cards I will be making. I recently was lucky enough to win a boys to men CD from OLL and love the papers one of which I used as a base for this card. The image is one I was lucky enough to be given by LOTV who sponsored one of Penny's challenges, though the rubber version is on my wish list. I coloured the image with promarkers and the cup in sakura glaze. The bunting or banner is simply cream card cut into triangles and circular alphabet  peel-offs added to spell Dad. I added stitching around the edge to finish off.
