Wisdom of a Father

---

As you are reading this I might just be coming home from a windy day at the zoo with my daughter's preschool. I hope it turns out as nice as I am hoping it will be.

The theme for InStyle's Over the Hump Day Blog Candy Give Away is Father's Day. My card that I'm showing you today just has the most cheerful of men on it. It's Saju from InStyle Stamps (he'll be available shortly). He's on a Father's Day card that only describes the dad with Wisdom. He has quite the smile, doesn't he?.

I like learning new things so I was delighted in the Tie it All Together videos on YouTube that gave me a couple of ideas for knots on this card. I ended up using the Plafond Knot (lanyard knot) a couple of times with leather rope and it was not going to happen, so I switched to Silkessence Microfiber yarn and it was MUCH easier.

There are more OTHDBCGA cards from the design team. If you have a little bit of time, go take a look at their Father's Day inspired creations on the InStyle Stamps blog.

I've entered this card for the Treehouse Stamps Masculine Card Challenge #049.
