creative Inspirations: For a man

Hello lovelies - I hope you are well? I've got a card to share with you today that I've made for the DT at cinspirationsCreative Inspirations. There's a new challenge starting over there today where you have to make a card for the boys!





I've made this card for my nephew Aaron who will be 17 in February. I think he'll like it! The papers are from the new chronology range from Do Crafts - the metallic cogs are also from that range - I treated myself to the goodie bag from docrafts and got these bits in it - I think I'll be investing in more because they're so gorgeous - love em! The image is, of course, from Mo Manning. Colouring has been by promarkers.

The challenge has two sponsors this time - our monthly sponsor of  jandccreations

and also 


who are offering the lucky prizewinner a £10 voucher.


I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
artisticinspirationscrafts: Anything goes
docraftsblog: For a man
onestitchatatimechallenge: use a digi
thesquirrelandthefox: something new - my papers and cogs
tuesdayalchemy: anything goes
twistedtuesdaychallenges: Anything goes


Thanks for visiting - hope to see you again soon.

Hugs
