Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes

Happy New Year!
 
Welcome to 2015 and the first challenge of the year from Crafty Catz. To help ease everyone back into the challenges we're starting with everyone's favourite - Anything Goes
 
Our sponsor this week is Fitztown who are offering our lucky winner 3 images of their choice
 
My card this week is actually my brother's birthday card. As his birthday is January 1st I always struggle to find inspiration to make his card - well, that and the fact I hate making men's birthday cards!
 
I cased a card I found on Pinterest (got to love that site for inspiration!) and came up with this
 
It's a great card to use up scraps I have to say. The sentiment and name are computer generated, the shape is hand cut and the blue thread is actually embroidery silk. I brushed the edge of the shape with versa magic ink in turquoise and mounted it on foam pads.
 
I hope you like it and don't forget to come and play with us at Crafty Catz this week.
 
Until next time Happy Crafting!
