Last week I spent the day visiting my fab pal, Yvonne. We met when we were both teachers but are now into various different crafts and meet up once in a while to share ideas and borrow each others recent purchases :-) Yvonne has a set of the aquamarkers that I'd never had a go with before and this is the result....
Not bad for a first attempt??? The cheeky fella is from Daisy and Dandelion that I bought aaaages ago and rarely use - although I'm not sure why.... He's so cute!
I used:
Image - Daisy and Dandelion
Sentiment - Clare Curd, It's a Man's World
The papers are scraps but I think the stripey is Forever Friends and the spotty is Henbury Lane
Aquamarkers
Nesties
Rounded corner punch
Papermania mini polka dots embossing folder
Buttons (yeeeears old!) and ribbon from stash
Challenges:
Sketch 'n' Stash - Fab sketch (old neglected stash = stamp and buttons)
Cards for Men - Embossing
I'd better go and check out all your fabulous blogs! See you soon :-)
Love 'n' hugs,

Well you seem to have gotten to grips very quickly with a new technique cos your colouring is ace. Love the colour choices too, blue and brown are so restful.
