One of Ellie's special friends at preschool is 4 next week ... so I have had to make him a card for her. She will ldo her own but he has to have a 'proper' card too!! So I have combined the sketch from Friday Sketchers this week and the LOTV theme, Men, for this card. As it is for a 4 year old boy it is very simple, and non fussy. Ellie wanted wire and had a go herself and then ripped it off - "wire isn't easy Mummy" was her comment!
I let Ellie choose the image, I don't have many boy ones, and thought she would go for a teddy, but she chose this one. I haven't inked him up for ages so it was lovely to colour him and distress the background. I kept the colour theme simple and used simple papers. Just a few brads for embellishments.While I was doing this card Ellie was playing with my proze from the LOTV challenge, Twinkle. Apparently Twinkle is not mine!!
And this is what she came up with ...
Twinkle at Night
Twinkle in the garden.
Twinkle in the garden.We are just waiting for the glitter glue to really dry LOL!
Recipe:
Stamp(s): Giddy Up (Sugar Nellie), Twinkle (LOTV), sentiment Penny Black
Colouring Media: Distress inks, watercolour crayons
Papers: Making Memories and stash
Embellishments: brads and Ellie's stash
