The card this week is for my John's birthday, next month. He has promised not to look before then. I never know when I will have time to make a 'special' card as we are always so busy around here in the summer and then I am so tired in the evenings and usually fall asleep in front of the television!
The tractor is from StampsAway Vintage Transport sheet 2 and has been watercoloured with Distress Inks. The Kraft card panel has been embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, then roughly heat embossed with antique gold embossing powder and then wiped over with Forest Moss Distress Ink. The backing paper is from Serif's Cocoa Latte kit and printed out in Craft Artist. The pennants are from an On The Edge die. For the card candy I have used eyelets and laced linen thread through them on the top left. I also added a lovely insert from Joanna Sheens Past Times CD, in the farming theme.
I hope I have met with the sketch challenge - I normally avoid them at all costs, but I needed to make this card today!
Thanks for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment - I appreciate them all.

ReplyDeleteSo what were you saying about being no good at sketches then? You done good girl. Love the embossed trees panel, and the tractor image is just perfect for John. He'll love it. Thanks for joining in the Cd Sunday challenge again this week.
