I am entering this over at kandrews gettingcricky for the Simply Sunday Challenge

Also entering this in  Cricut Cardz Challenge #75 over at cricutcardzchallenge

Embossed with cuttlebug folder plaid

The acrylic discs/dew drops were colored with Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Ink color- Lettuce
The sentiment "Dad" was stamped with Stampin' Up brush stroke alphabet and cut by hand
