Come Fly With Me

Morning All!
Just a quickie. Today I'd like to share a card that - for a change - is not girly! I used a lovely Lili of the Valley image of a little boy with his toy plane and coloured him in soft greens with my Promarkers. I decided to make it into a gift card holder too and teamed it up with Graphic 45 masculine papers and Webster's Pages clock face papers.





Photographing this was a bit tricky but I've tried to show how the two panels open up to reveal the gift card - hope you see what I mean!
Anyway, I'd like to enter this card into Lili's Little Fairies challenge which this week is 'Oh Boy' and Simon Says Stamp's 'Anything Goes' challenge.
Thanks for looking - have a great day!

Ragged Romeo

Afternoon All!
Back with another card I made for a 30th (Pearl) Anniversary card. I love the Mo Manning 'Ragged Romeo' image so decided to use this and my Promarkers with a creamy / brown / pearly colour scheme. The challenge over on the Mo Manning site this week is 'Clean and Simple' and I'm afraid this is as clean and simple as it gets for me when I team an image with Webster's Pages 'already embellished' background papers. All I needed to do was add was a ribbon and a few pearls and I was done. I had an excuse to add a little decoration inside as this type of anniversary card needs a verse - and that was it - done!

Anyway, hope you like it. Why not pop over and join in the challenge with the chance to win one of Mo's lovely digi images.

Feeling Festive?

Afternoon All!

Thought you might like to see a card that I'm hoping to enter in the Winter Wonderland Challenge which this week is 'Red and Green Must Not Be Seen' - so my blue and silver card fits the bill perfectly. The image I used was from the Joanna Sheen Furry Friends CD with paper from K and Co and lovely slim tinsel from Websters Pages trim. This little pug dog looks so grumpy that I'm sure we've all had moments like this over Christmas when the last thing we want to do is feel festive ha! ha! He looks like he's being forced to get into the party mood!

Anyway, thanks for looking and will be back soon with another crafty item.

Best wishes
