Hello Ai Fans!
I'm excited that I get to kick off the new challenge " We ❤️ Dads!"!! I feel so lucky to have had such amazing Dad figures in my life. My dad was the best one ever and I miss him terribly!! He loved to fish, so I definitely thought of him while I was creating this card. It's a fun one that rocks back and forth with the waves of the water!! I used 5926 Fishing Boat Set which is a part of the Rides line at Art Impressions. The die cuts a slit in the boat so you can load it with whatever you want! Isn't that so much fun??!! I also used #5927 Father's Day Die Set to top it off.
I started by inking a sky background onto a piece of 3 3/4" x 5" paper. I used some wave dies from my stash and cut three layers at varying heights so I could layer them. Some distress ink helped give the waves more definition and stand out from each layer beneath it. I glued the first wave layer to the inked panel.
I stamped, colored, and die cut all the pieces I wanted to use with the boat, and then I cut an additional two boats out of just white cardstock. The two white boats are what I will attach to the background with a brad so the boat with rock with the waves. I cut two cause I wanted the strength of the doubled up paper. The colored layer will then be glued on top of those and voila! A rocking boat without having to see the brad that allows it.
I just used my paper piercer and a brad I had in my stash. I used a larger headed brad so it would stand up to more movement and not tear through the hole easily.
In order to accommodate the movement of the boat, I doubled up on the mounting tape that I put on the next wave panel. This will allow the boat to move freely without catching. Be careful to not put it where it will hinder the rocking of the boat.
I finished it up by adding all the awesome pieces to the boat, a few clouds, and the fun Super Dad sentiment! Here are a few pictures that shows the boat rocking back and forth.

And here we go! Make sure to take your sea sickness meds!! LOL!
