Gone Fishing/Father's Day

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well. It had still been sunny here until about ten minutes ago, when the clouds opened, it is now chucking it down and there is thunder and lightning. It has been very muggy today so hopefully it will now cool down.  My card today is for the Lili's Little Fairies Challenge, who want to see anything but a square,  and I think I am going to make it by the skin of my teeth.  I bought some Kanban cards a little while ago, and they are really different - round, hexagonal - great for this challenge and as I haven't made a male card for a little while I thought I would make a father's day card.

card - kanban
papers - docraft
image/sentiment - lily of the valley 'gone fishing'
charm - ebay
bakers twine - papermania
coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers
