Thank you card

The supervisor at pre-school is leaving on Friday, so I have made a card as a thank you and goodbye. Of course I managed a few challegnes on the way LOL!!
Allsorts - Summer days - hope this qualifies as it has summery flowers on it
Papertake Weekly - Cutie Patootie (Hanglars are sooo cute!)
Passion for Promarkers - distressing
Simon Says Stamp - sketch

I coloured the images using my promarkers and cut them out (masking turned out to be too difficult today LOL!!). I distressed the papers with my Tim Hltz tool and inked the edges. The punch is a Martha Stewart one. I was going to add flowers but they looked too cluttered so just the ribbon. I made the card slightly bigger than my card blank (dopey one I am!!0 so I have to now find an envelope to fit!

I am trying very hard to get back into blogging an hopping ... we have had loads of computer problems and life seems to be a bit full on. I really miss hopping round everyone's blogs and getting ideas.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Hanglar Stanglar kit 6
Colouring Media: promarkers
Papers: MME
Embellishments: from stash
