Beads and tag from stash.
Lettering: 'a' & '2' Pink Paislee from Indigo Mill.

Sneaky peeks revealed

A while back (25th April to be exact) I gave you a sneaky peek of a couple of cards I made but didn't reveal the whole piccie. The reason was that I was applying for a DT place over on 2 Sketches 4 You, but unfortunately I didn't make the grade :-( I'll just have to keep playing along with the sketches.

So, to reveal my entries....

2 Sketches 4 You

Another card I've made in a grungy theme is for 2 Sketches 4 You this week. Jacob is off tobogganing for a friend's birthday party on Sunday (I know, he should be spending it here with me on Mothers' Day but I'll have another one next year and he'll have a fantastic time).

This was originally scheduled for 5th February but had to be postponed due to the extreme weather conditions with all the snow we had. As they're all expected to get a (little) dirty on Sunday and spare clothes are on the list for all the boys to take I just had to use a dirty, grungy looking card for Daniel. Not only that, 13 is a wierd age for boys cards haha!



Materials:
5 1/4" square white card.
Papers: BasicGrey Ambrosia.
Rub ons: BasicGrey Olio Archaic.
Star sticker: BasicGrey Element Stickers Boxer.
Inkpad: Dew Drop Brilliance.
