Daring Cardmakers - Blue & Green & Dutch Dare - Sketch


A friend asked to make a thank you card for her son's teacher, large enough for several little boys to sign. The recipient is also a music teacher, hence the line of manuscript in the background.
I used the sketch from the Dutch Dare challenge and the colours from Daring Cardmakers, which I thought were rather suitable for little boys to send.
It's mainly Cuttlebug, with Nesties used for the circles. The papers are Shabby Pincess and Canon.
Lots of fiddling about with a paper piercer, lifting off the double-sided backing after cutting out the letters, but I got there in the end.
I hope she likes it.

  7. Hi Chrissie!
    I have been away for such a long time. I really like all your cards. I'm sure the teacher will love your blue/green card. I just quickly looked through all of your posts. Hopefully now I can get to posting and viewing the SBS22 blogs.

  9. Hi Chrissie
    just having a very quick blog hop whilst Mum makes me a sandwich! Having a very sleepy few days as I'm shattered now. Had to pop on though as my email is down, so wanted to thank you for the beautiful card you sent. I'm continously surprised by acts of kindness and yours was certainly one of them.

    Having a difficult but peaceful weekend, will be posting a card tomorrow but probably my last one in some time!Hopefully my email will be back up before I go in, but if not I'll text you any news

    Love
    Victoria
