Watercolored Father's Day Card

Hello, sharing a card today for my husband for Father's Day.  He walks our dog (who is a mini schnauzer mix that looks a lot like this dog from Lawn Fawn) almost every day and takes him to the off leash park once a week.  I masked off a rectangle on a piece of water color cardstock. Than I  smooshed distress ink on a piece of acetate, spritzed it with water and applied it to the masked cardstock.  I also smooshed green distress ink on acetate and applied it to watercolor cardstock and used the grass die (from Lawn Fawn) to cut out some lawn.  The images were stamped on water color card stock, colored with Inktense Pencils and blended the pencil with water.  I fussy cut the images and glued them to the dried background piece.  The doggy is attached with foam tape.
Linking with two challenges and one blog hop.  The Watercolor Blog Hop hosted by Pretty Pink Posh, Lawnscaping Challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge; Make it Masculine Challenge
