Here's the sketch :

And here's my take:

I have used a piece of dark green pearlescent cardstock for the card base, and layered different patterned papers together to make a panel, and cut an aperture in the panel using Nestabilities Labels 11. Attached that to the card, and cut another label in gold cardstock, and die-cut the word DAD in brown metallic Bazzill using a Sissix alphabet and the Sissix Side-Kick.

I Stamped the sentiment using Fancy Phrases by WMS and Memento Rich Cocoa. The sentiment strip on the paper says 'Fathers build dreams out of paper aeroplanes', but I had to cut the end off. Stamped 3 little hearts from the Earthangel set, also by WMS. Filled in 2 of the hearts with Ranger Glossy Accents, and added a heart shaped rhinestone to the middle heart.

Instead of a big girly bow, I added a shell shaped button, and tied a little bow through it, so hope fully it won't dent his manly pride lol!

Finally finished off with some gold stickles around the scalloped ends of the window in the panel, which I should have done before I stuck the DAD label on top!
Happy Fathers Day to daddies all over the world, and all you mummies that have to make the cards!
