strips for Dad

I almost titled this post “stripping for Dad” but decided that was a bit too provocative!  ha ha ha

The title comes from the current Cards in Envy challenge to create a card using strips of paper rather than using ribbon as an embellishment.  I kept my card pretty simple, without embellishing the strips.  The layout was inspired by OWH Sketch #89, but I used a circle for my focal point.  I had this image already stamped and cut into the circular shape, and decided I’d go ahead and use that even though it wasn’t exactly what the sketch called for.  I also shifted the circle over to the left to accommodate the sentiment.

And there’s another card that’s on its way to Operation Write Home, to be ready for one of our heroes to send home to his or her dad for Father’s Day.
