Birthday card for my FIL, who is the best! Pop loves that time on the boat and has had his two sons, and every one of his grandkids and great-grands on it too. To fish with Pop is to learn to appreciate patience. Mo's image was colored with copics and the sky was made by sponging bashful blue over a torn paper towel.
This week I was so happy to see one of my all-time favorite Stampers honored by QFTD. Judy... Her gallery makes you stop- every time! She is blessed with talent, and has the most kind and encouraging heart. Every week I have at least one of her creations added to my favs. To case Judy is quite another thing! Although inspiring, it is totally intimidating to say the least! However, I was fortunate enough to hold this precious card in my own hands when my grandson Jonathan was born last January. Jamie & I were so touched by Judy's work, and the details that make it such a stand out.
Judy, thank you so much for pouring out your talent to paper and sharing with us. I love to study your work, and also to see your heart on paper. Hope your week is the very best. Hugs.....
Thanks for looking!

This is absolutely beautiful! My FIL is retired and fishes all the time. I'm a little uneducated with the digi images. I have some of Mo's actual stamps. I'll check and see if this is available in rubber! Thanks for enabling me!

Well, Sis, added to what everyone else has commented, this one is a real jaw dropper!! Your image's coloring looks 3D and against the sky, trees and fenced yard your depth perception is phenomenal!
What a fantastic case card to honor Judy - both of you are so talented and have such vision to even CREATE cards such as these! We are so grateful that you share such inspiring moments with all of us!
This is a terrific card to honor the man who has given so much true-to-life experience to his sons and grandsons! No wonder he is so special to you!
LYMI! Hugs!
