Sunday Postcard Art - Fathers

My collaged postcard features my late father who, by coincidence, would have celebrated his birthday tomorrow. This is my favourite photo of him, he loved gardening, so here he is in his well-worn gardening clothes complete with braces, trilby hat and pipe in his mouth!
Green leafy 'border' from an advertisement, background is part of a paper serviette and gardening tools from a book.

  8. Great card, Judy. I love the way you have put all the elements together - and what a wonderful tribute to your Dad. Makes me feel ashamed of my tongue-in-cheek uncle picture. You won't have to wait long for another one because he features in this coming week's Three Muses challenge.
