Friday Sketcher and a bit of rugby

Is anyone else having trouble with blogger at the mo ... everytime I try to leave comments on cards with Mr Linky links or from my blog roll it closes the internet down ... very fustrating.
Anyway, I have finally caught up with challenge cards :)
I have combined Cute Card Thursday's Sporting Chance challegne with this week's Friday Sketcher.

I watercoloured the image, and resisted the urge to put lots of mud on Hamish!! I have kept the sketch simple and only used the rugby ball and buttons for embellishments. I think these K and Co papers are fab for bloke cards. Finally I added a sentiment.

Hubby is off away for the weekend so I have the pleasure of just the girls company for the next 72 hours (eeeekkkk!!!!). I have exam papers to mark but hopefully I will get round to some blogging and crafting.

I will be back later on, and hopefully Blogger will be behaving.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Rugby Hamish
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: K and Co Hopscotch
Embellishments: buttons from stash

Hi.
Very nice card - I like that stamp. Malestamps for grownups are my next shoppingitem.
I found your blog after you commented on one of my cards. Thank you for the nice words, it means a lot to me. I have looked at your blog and find your style very like my own. I am also a teacher, so I know what you mean with marking waiting. It doesn't go away, does it?
