Edward's good luck card

Vicky's little boy, Edward, starts Nursery on Monday, so I have made him a good luck card.

I masked Oakley off so I could have him sitting on the steps, and then coloured the image in Distress inks. I edged the image in ink too. I followed this week's Sketch Saturday sketch by Ria, but have kept it quite simple and boyish (no ribbon and flowers again!!). I love these MME papers - love the distressing in them!

As I have masked Oakley and the steps, this is my card for this week's Saturday Secret Crafter Challenge.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Oakley in slipover; Magnolia steps
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: MME Everyday Tango
Embellishments: buttons from stash
