CD Sunday Challenge - Sketch

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.

CD Sunday Challenge - Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Thought I had better make a Christmas card this time - just one of the long list to do!  My picture and backing paper are from Joanna Sheen's Past Times CD2 and feature some of my favourite animals - horses and chickens!
I have treated the design very simply as the colour and backing paper are quite bright, so I have merely matted the image onto silver card and added some punched snowflakes in iridescent paper.  The card is flat enough not to attract the higher postage rate too.
