Patterned Paper IG Hop - June 26

Hello friends, welcome back to my little blog. I'm here today to share my card for this month's Patterned Paper Party Instagram Hop. Do you love patterned paper? Do you have a huge stash that needs using? Well so do we and it's time to get it used! We will be hopping on the 20th of each month to share our ideas. We will definitely be creating cards, but maybe sometimes tags, ATCs, gift bags/boxes, mini albums and scrapbook pages too. We want our patterned paper to be used.

The theme is always 'anything goes' but each month we will have an optional twist that can be used if you like; this month the twist is 'chevrons' which are so fun, especially for masculine cards. I made a Father's Day card for my FIL and it's 5" x 7" in size.  Surprisingly I didn't use chevron patterned paper but instead die cut some chevrons from patterned paper for my background.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the image onto alcohol marker card, coloured it with Promarkers and fussy cut it out.  I did add some white highlights with a gelly roll pen too.  I found this fun paper pad from DCWV and although it's hard to tell in the photo but the orange/bronze stripe has some foiling detail.  All the papers are from the pad including the brown mat layers and the chevrons were cut from it too.  I cut the main panel 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" and matted it onto the brown layer with double sided tape.  I cut a white panel 3 1/2" x 2 7/8" and again matted it onto a brown layer; I also added some thin cream strips of paper to the top and bottom of the white panel with liquid glue.  I added the image onto the white panel with foam squares.  I stamped the sentiment onto the cream paper with brown ink and die cut the DAD letters from the brown paper and stacked them x3 with liquid glue; the letters were then adhered to a cream piece with liquid glue.  I cut 4 x chevrons for my background and adhered them with liquid glue.  The image panel was added to the centre of the panel with double sided tape and the sentiments were added to the top right and bottom left with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut a white panel 4 3/8" x 6 3/8" and stamped the sentiment in the centre with brown ink.  I cut some of the papers and layered them together with double sided tape and also cut another chevron and placed that across the centre with liquid glue.  the panel was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape (oops I forgot my brown layer but it still looks ok I think). 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
