The theme on Cute Card Thursday this week is
Totally Tropical
hunt out your summer stamps and images or use lovely tropical colours!
I have used this adorable digital image by Mo Manning. He is Jeffy with his bucket and shovel. AT the moment he is only in the old store but hopefully they will get him moved over soon!
Cute Card Thursday is sponsored this week by
Make it colourful this week asked us to
Make it Bright!
I don't usually do bright so I had to force myself to make this bucket yellow and use these busy papers!
I used Copics and Prismacolor pencils to colour this cutie!
Make it colourful is being sponsored by Whimsy Stamps this week you can win 5 of their digital images!
Because I have used yellow I can enter this into the
DYSU challenge this week!
Also entering Delightful challenges which this week want to see Sun, Sea and Sand!
I made a gift bag for my son to give to his teacher at the end of the school year so I wanted to make it a summery themed bag as well as a thank you. As his teacher is a man I kept the embellishments to a minimum but also because by the time he hands it over all the embellishments would have fallen off ( I am thinking after being swung around the playground, crushed up against the rucksack etc) I need it to be fairly robust!
The cute sentiment stamps are from Whimsy stamps!
I found this quote online the author is unknown but I thought it perfect! I will probably make a little matching tag for it sometime soon! I fancied it up in Word with some different fonts and quite like it!
Now I need to make one for my daughter's teacher! Shame they don't put twins in the same class!
