I was asked to make "One for the boys", and you know me, that suits me to a T! So after a day or two of deliberation, I decided on a side step card. Now, when I decided this I did not yet have a die cutting machine, yet I wanted stars. Having hand-cut stars before (badly!), I decided this would not do! Hence the finally successful hinting to hubby and a brand new GC and set of star dies (amongst others!) to be able to make this card:
Aside from the stars I decided I had to have hessian/burlap, and I found some papers with not only the colours I wanted to use, but stars too. It's little serendipitous things like that that make me happy :-)
Card recipe:
Image - "Milk and Biscuits" - LOTV
Medium - Promarkers, Vintage photo distress ink.
Papers - Basic Grey "Hang 10"
Sentiment - "Large words" - Little darlings
Dies - Sizzix Framelits "Stars" and "Tickets"
White card, buttons, twine and hessian/burlap from stash.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Cute card Thursday - Neutral zone
Addicted to stamps - Anything goes
Penny's paper-crafty challenge - Anything but square
Crafty sentiments - Anything goes
