Hi folks!
Here's my card for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. It's another fabulous sketch by the talented Jo. Sponsoring us this week is 'Victoria Case Art Design'. Do hop on over to see the lovely prize and to feast your eyes on the wonderful cards by my fellow DT and of course our fabulous GDT Janneke. Next week we're celebrating our first Anniversary , we'd love you to join in with the celebrations!
I made this card for my father-in-law from my kiddies. I have used some leather from the swatch that he gave me once they had finished choosing their new suite. He is so thoughtful always on the look out for things I may find useful in my card making. I used a DCWV embossed card which I coloured using chalks and Cosmic Shimmer mist. I got my needle and thread out hand stitched the rectangle. The Whiff of Joy chair and Magnolia Edwin are coloured using Koi water colour paints. I finished the card of with some decorative brads and rub on letters from K&Co.
My HUGE news for the day is.......
I'm on cloud nine to think that my card was chosen to be the first 'Card of the Month' at Just Magnolia. I can't thank them enough for choosing it. I'm so excited to be able to display my new blinkie. Thank you again!
Ciao for now
