Simple card

I get asked to make cards by a few of the parents at Ellie's pre-school - today's challenge, make a card for a 9 year old girl in Manchester City sky blue colours ... oh and include a cute image and pretty papers, but not be too fussy! No problem I muttered!!
I'm not sure what the card is for so I have left it greeting-less, but have used the Papertake Weekly sketch (rotated) and a different card shape (Spoonfull of Sugar).

I cut my card and dp using my Mega rectangles from Nestibilities - I hardly ever use them as they are generally too big - never thought to use them to cut card blanks -DOH! I made sure that I would still have some fold in the card when I placed the die in the folded card. I then had to find an image cute enough and small enough to fit in the middle!! I coloured this gorgeous Sarah Kay image in and then chopped the bottom off! I used turquoise cardstock that match ed the centre of the darker flowers to matt the image onto. I ran some acetate through my d'vine swirls folder and scruffed the back up so it showed on the cardstock. Two flower brads attach the cardstock and acetate. Finally I distressed the edges of the image, card blank and dp as it looked too stark. Hopefully they will like it.

It is a simple take on the Papertake sketch and hopefully I'll have another go at it later in the week ... but I pulled my lower back quite badly while tidying up my craft room on Sunday and crafting is a little painful at the moment. That'll teach me to be tidy!!
