ILS Sketches by Tsunami Rose - Day 23

Apologies for the late posting, but my week seems to lurch from bad to worse as my husband was rushed to hospital yesterday with chest pains. Fortunately, albeit after a 6 hour wait at a&e, he was declared fine, but is still unwell and tucked up in bed as we speak.

So, my card for Day 23 is below, and at the moment, I'm all about men, as I am trying to make up stock for Fathers Day.

My card:

The sketch:

Given the simplicity of the sketch, I quite like the way that the busy nature of the papers I've chosen do all the talking. I think they are from Papermania, but they have been in my stash since I started in 2008. A bit of homemade bunting from my scraps and ribbon from my stash, add in a sentiment and you're done.

I promise to be back later with my card for today.

As always, you can visit Daisy's page to see her sketches first-hand and, if you're interested, I have a facebook page, which you are welcome to pop over and view.

Have a good day, and I hope the sun shines for you. Off to the day job now, Sammylou xxx
