Jamie's card

Hello Lovelies - well I'm writing this on Saturday afternoon - the cleaning is done - the party went well this morning and some faces were painted ....including Lucy and Penny's - here they are after a few hours of hard labour  lol ....

bless them - they have been good whilst daddy's been away - and Lucy's lost her 5th tooth and the tooth fairy came last night too. We had words about the tooth fairy earlier in the week - she's been asking questions so I thought I could let the cat out of the bag - anyway - she was very good at keeping the story alive for Penny - so thats good!

Today's card went to one of the party people - the party was for Charlotte and Jamie - a brother and sister - Charlotte is in Lucy and Pennys class at school and Jamie will be starting in September. Here's the card I made for Jamie:


The image is from the last LOTV release - love it and given that Jamie is a farmers son with a jack russell dog its perfect!!!! The image was coloured with promarkers - the card is from the pastels range of centura pearl and the die is a spellbinders die light - thanks for the use of that mum!

I'd like to enter my country gent into the following challenges:

LOTV ideastoinspire : Boy oh boy

CCand CCchocolatecoffeecards - use a number
Polka doodlespolkadoodle: Pastels

2sisterschallengeblog 1,2,3 3 colours (blue brown and green), 2 dies - squares and dielights, 1 image
sendasmile4kidschallenge: pastels.

Thanks for dropping by today - and just in case you were wondering - I've sorted out why my crackle weren't so good with the kroma - I was being too stingey. I've tried a thick layer and will let you be the judge of whether its any better once its dried!!! Its looking much better after 24 hours though - so fingers crossed.

Hugs

  6. What a brilliant card for Jamie, that image could have been made for the boy you describe! Lucy and Penny look gorgeous in their painted faces and pretty outfits. So glad to hear you may have sorted out the Kroma, I seem to remember Kay applying it quite heavily when I saw her demo it, so that probably is the answer. Looking forward to seeing the result. Hugs, Anne x
