First Birthday Fun

Happy Sunday all! 
Another week has passed us by & we're well on the way to winter!
According to the Met office here in the UK it's officially Autumn! 
eek What happened to summer???
Sorry my post is a bit later today but I forgot to publish before I popped out to a
demo by Nikki at our local garden centre! Thanks Nikki! I always come away with something!
Or should I say I always learn something!(Ha ha ha usually a bit of both if I'm honest!)
Enough of that, now, on to business!

It's time for a fresh new challenge over at The Crafty Pad
The theme for Challenge #137 is "Use Blue & Brown"
A nice & easy challenge for you this week!
Here's my Card


The image I chose to work with is "Just Ted on Ball" from 
The layout was my own.


As always,I coloured him up with promarkers. 
I matched the colours as closely as I could to my papers.
I cut him out using a nestie & edged it with a promarker too!
The papers I have used are from my stash.


I added two colours of Bakers Twine, blue & brown of course,
which I twisted at the front of my panels.
I also made little bunting out of little scraps of paper, which I attached to 
more of the twine & adhered using pinflair glue


I printed a sentiment out I cut it out with a smaller nestie 
& again edged with a promarker
Sorry, I meant to make a mental note of the font I used but 
as I have a brain like a hen, I can't remember!


I added a little flower charm embellishment just because I could!
I hope you like my card! 
Pop on over to The Crafty Pad Challenge Blog & see the other 
DT ladies awesome work & leave them some love if you have the time!
