Opening presents: Crafty Sentiments card preview day 2

Good morning all! Well wasn't it a hot one yesterday? We had a fabulous day which kicked off with Lucy's ballet exam - here she is:
Photo: Bless!            Photo: Lucy's ballet bun for the exam You wouldn't believe the amount of gel that was needed to achieve that look!!! But the end result was fit for purpose!!! We won't find out for 6 weeks what grade she got! But she enjoyed it - which is the main thing!!!

After that we had lunch at our village institute followed by a great afternoon at the local nursey's open day - and then our safari supper in the evening! Another busy one today with an 8 mile run and a jujitsu grading to fit in!!! Its all a bit crazy at the moment!

Here's todays card:


This image is called Opening presents and you'll find more inspiration for this image on the Crafty Sentiments Inspiration site here. The image was coloured with promarkers and cut with a spellbinders die, mounted on a mat and the whole thing layered up. The corner die is a memory box die.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

    My eye is really drawn to your image with that sunburst die cut around him! Makes almost a medallion look - very interesting! Glad you are sharing your project and best of luck in the “Two Word” Sentiment Challenge!
