Had a card to make for a man who goes on holidays to Donegal and loves the sea. I used a photo of a beach in Donegal then stamped two fences, a sign post and Edwin from magnolia stamps. I coloured them using my new pencils and sansodor (my first go so really pleased). I three d'd them to the front of the photo and raised Edwin even more to sit on the fence. I wrote paradise on the sign post. I cut some shells from a sheet of paper, the letters are cork effect from Chloe's Closet alphabets. The star is a die cut which has flock on it, won on a challenge a while back.I am entering this into these challenges:
1. Tuesday Taggers - sea, water or boats
2. Cards for Men - decoupage (fence and Edwin)
3. Magnolia-licious - birthday
4. Paperplay - bon voyage
Have been busy these past four days entertaining visitors and getting out and about so haven't been blogging as much, but things are back to normal now.
