At last Spring seems to have sprung, and not before time either! My daffs have finally bloomed, the trees are heavy with blossom and the sun's been shining.
I've been busy in the garden this weekend tackling the random turds found in the undergrowth that was the lawn, before mowing. Lovely, thanks for sharing that.... I hear you say. Don't mention it!
I have had time though to whip up this card for LIM's current challenge which is to CASe one of the designs featured here. I'm also linking to CAS-ual Friday where their current challenge is Birthday Bash.
I need a few blokey type cards for my stash and thought these colours were masculine enough. I followed Jen's design fairly closely and die cut a label for the stamped SU sentiment. One of the pennant tails was embossed in a folder. Finally I added some wonky dots around the edge with a Sakura souffle pen! I won't tell if you don't.
Gotta go now and watch last week's The Village before tonight's episode.
Have a great week and thanks for looking.

Yup, have had the old turd in the grass problem myself this weekend. I thought I was being very helpful cutting my Mum's front grass for her then I hit the motherload of cat turd with the blades. Yikes, it was horrible!! And it's not even Mum's cat that had done it!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on the LIM card. It's always handy to have a few masculine cards on hand. I almost always have a lot of "girly" cards...but never enough manly cards!
ReplyDeleteThat card's a stunner! I was very envious going to work [past the boot sale signs this morning, glad the cat kindly woke you so you were able to go and score, too! x
ReplyDeleteOoh lovely boot sale goodies! Are you going to pimp the drawers? Well done for the card and the turd tackling! xx
ReplyDeleteBooty scores, lovely flowers and a beautiful card! Well done Prudy for waking you up early (naughty puss!) xxxx

Wonderful card and I love all the dots! I find male cards so hard but yours is gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteHiya and looks like you had a good day for a bargain! Love your card, the colours are gorgeous and your photo's make me believe it really is spring :D! Chris x
ReplyDeletefab CASE of jen's card, Fiona!! the photos of your garden are just stunning!
ReplyDeletelovely card, dots look good to me! Top drawers too, have you plans for them? Gorgeous pics of sunny yellow flowers in your garden. So wonderful to see some colour and feel some warmth...dealing with turds obviously not so wonderful! Discovered at the weekend that our cat has been using the raised veg patch as a giant litter tray! :(
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, Fiona. Good find on the chest of drawers. I found a similar wooden set of drawers (Ikea) in a neighbour's recycling box recently (!). I covered the drawers with old wallpaper scraps and it looks rather luvverly even if I say so myself! xx
ReplyDeleteYour wonky dots don't look wonky to me, it's a great CASe of Jen's card and your bargains were very well spotted. Those drawers were a steal at £2!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

ReplyDeleteVery cool card. Love the color combo! Thanks for joining us this week at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
ReplyDeleteFun! I think it works for either a man or a woman (that's tricky to do!). The dots around the edge are a great detail. Thanks for joining us for the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
