Aaron's card

Happy Thursday to you! I hope you are well and happy! Things here are good and I'm currently getting very excited about heading off to Middlesborough tomorrow to a Hels Sheridan weekend course. I can hardly contain my excitement!!!! But I must! I'll try to remember my camera and take some pictures whilst I'm there for Mondays blog post!

Today I've got a card to share with you I made for my nephew Aaron who will be 18 in February.




I made the background of the card using a number mask from Tim Holtz. I applied the mask then sponged over metallic panpastels. I set this with spray and sparkle then stamped over the health wealth and happiness always sentiment - from Sheena douglass. I cut the spellbinders frame and cut some TH paper to fit then stamped the sheena douglass goblet onto TH metal tape. I stuck this onto the paper ontop of a beaded net from That Craft place then added the key from That Craft Place. The net ribbon in the background was also from That Craft Place. 

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

Pan Pastel:panpasteluk AG -Celebrations  use metallics
TPCtotallypapercrafts: one for the boys
Rhedd and rosiesrheddandrosies: AG

I'd also like to share with you the goodies I bought from Country View Crafts - I recently won a candy from the lovely Dawn at dawn-dawnscrafting and she let me choose a fave shop to spend some vouchers in - how kind is that - well this is what I settled on in the end - so thankyou so much Dawn - you're such a lovely lady! You cannot imagine the shopping pleasure I had getting these and I imagine the crafting pleasure will be even more!!!! I was going to wait to find out what tims tag was this month but I just couldn't sit on my hands any longer - lol!



Thanks for dropping by today and for any comments you choose to leave ..... Big Hugs to you!
