DT card for Crafty Emblies - Anything goes challenge

Good evening and Happy Easter

It is currently the Mid way point in our challenge over at Crafty Emblies and this months challenge as with all our challenge from now on our 'Anything Goes'.

I love using these gorgeous wooden emblies on my projects and this card just shows how easy and verstile they really are.

 

I have used a Forever Friends image from the Do Crafts celebration disc and made my own digitage

The backing paper is from the Boofle CD rom and I created the sentiment using Digital designer aswell.

And to finish off this card for my aunt I have used the gorgeous 1# butterfly and some of the equally fab wooden buttons from Crafty Emblies

 

 

All I have done to the buttons is thread some twine through the holes and tied a simple bow but am sure you will agree wether you leave these emblishments as they come or ink them like I have the butterfly they look fab.

You still have plenty of time to join us over at the challenge so please do come and share your creations with us.

Hugs

Its my Nephew's Birthday tomorrow and although I can remember him as a little baby like it was yesterday he is infact going to be 17. Makes me feel old that as I was actually younger than he is now when he was born lol

I have made him an extra special card this year and what makes it so special is ive used his own artwork as my topper and another drawing of his to create a backing paper.

Now these are by no means his original designs but they are his very own drawings. Im sure you will agree they are fab I am so bloody proud of him I could burst.

 I used Do Crafts digital design studio to resize this image and create the sentiment

I used the same software to create the backing paper using his other drawing and a patterned paper from the Boofle cd rom.

I know I am biased but I think his drawings are just brilliant.

Hope you like it and any comments are greatly appreciated

Hugs

Marie
