Well Yaseen is glued to his new present a Nintendo DSi so I have got a few minutes to blog and enter the card I made him into a few challenges! We are off bowling later on.
I followed the sketch on Basic Grey challenge blog and Midnight Madness(which are almost identical). The fab thing about the Midnight Madness blog is that you have a choice of 2 slight variations on the same sketch. Hopefully if I get chance later I will be able to use the other sketch too...
The background papers (from Daisy Bucket designs) are some I bought AGES ago and only found them rooting through whilst looking for something else haha typically I never found what I was looking for!!
The stamp is Party Dragon by Lelo Designs (Stampavie) and I have coloured him in using promarkers! I used my new Argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder. The number 8 and the balloons are Basic Grey as are the brads. The metal fastener I can't remember where that is from as once again it has been in my stash waiting to see the light of day for ages haha!!
Simon Says Challenge Blog is having a hop and challenge rolled into one, they have put a recipe together for the project. Preferably you need to use a Stampabilities stamp but if like poor lil me you have none you can follow this recipe anyway: 3 TYPES OF EMBELLISHMENTS (brads, fasteners and baloons), 2 PATTERNED PAPERS you can also use coordinating cardstock :-) 1 IMAGE
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Midnight Madness - Sketch
Cute Card Thursday - Metal Mania
Cards for Men - Green
Spoonful of Sugar - Spring is in the air
Stamp Something - Something cute
Basic Grey - Sketch
Color Throwdown - Light green, rust and burgundy
Great card Sarah. Thanks for joining us over at Cards for Men and good luck with the challenge.
