Let sleeping Angels lie - Friday Sketchers + Stamp with Fun

Good morning all...hands up all who thought my Birthday present shop would be successful...nope...I seriously havent a clue what to get my Dad...hes going on holiday in a couple of months so I may just get him a bag full of holiday goodies for his trip...what do you think good idea?...I dont know why men think 'I dont know' gives some ideas for gifts do you, the next man who says that too me about a present is getting socks that will teach them lol...my card for today is using the Friday Sketchers sketch but I twisted it round for the beautiful Michael to fit, isnt he the most stunning image, so beautiful, of course hes from Mo's Digital Pencil and I coloured him with Distress inks and glittered his wings and halo...these gorgeous papers are from Prima Botanical paper pad and the flowers are Prima too...I added a teeny sentiment ribbon tag and some fabulous Prima lace...Im also entering this for the Stamp with Fun challenge which is a monochrome blue challenge...I might have a crafting day today and some serious blogging tonight as I need to catch up with things...whatever your up too have a fab day everyone

    Stunning card Mina, simply beautiful hun, love the delicate shimmer on his wings. As for your dad....whenever mine says "I don't know" I make up a goodie bag of allsorts for him, this year he had a gardening theme, and what was he most pleased with? The garden string. Sigh. Have a fab day sweetie. Hugs, Sxx

    Hi Mina!
    Definitely go with the holiday goodies... one of those Victorian swimsuits! LOL! Seriously though, holiday stuff is practical and if your dad is like most men, he'll be happy with practical.

    Your card is super stunning! Looks very soft and sleeeeepy... Gorgeous!

    Hugs, Meesh. xx

    HI Mina, wowser what a lovely card. The image is just so sweet and I love the papers you used. I think b-day presents for men are always difficult don't you?! I like Vicky's idea, get him something you like, that usually turns out alright with you ending up with the present LOL!! Hugs, Frea

    OMG I love that image so much, it looks just like my little boy when he is asleep, arms and legs all akimbo and tousled hair - soooo cute !!!!! lovely colours and sweet flowers. I have just bought my hubby one of those super posh swiss army knife type thingies, you know the sort - scissors, penknife and all manner of gadgets all in a little leather pouch that fits in his pocket, he is delighted, not sure if your dad is the gadget kind of man but if he is these are great little doodads ( we go camping so DH is eager to use his on his next expedition lol) good luck hope you find something, men are always soooo hard to buy for xxx

    Another beauty, Mina! Love that image and your coloring is amazing (even with white objects). Yup, men are hard to shop for. Socks or undies, that'll teach 'em - er, wait not undies for your dad, LOL!

    What a fabulous image, Mina and you've placed him on a stunning card! Love those glittery flowers too!
    I think a bag of holiday goodies is a great idea for your Dad's birthday and some sweeties for the journey if he's allowed them. Men usually hate shopping for all that stuff anyway.
