Here Come The Boys at The Crafting Cafe

Good morning lovely bloggers & readers!
It's Saturday! Yay!!
 It's a new month & it's time for the brand new challenge over at
where the theme this time  is "Here Come The Boys"
Here's my little card!


I used an A6 tent fold card base in dark brown, which I made 
by folding an A4 sheet of cardstock in half then cutting in two.
The card is more or less flat & can be mailed using a "normal"
letter stamp in the UK not sure about elsewhere!
Something I certainly need to consider with rising postage costs


The image I have use is called Vintage Spitfire & is 
from our lovely sponsor

Regular Sponsor

I recoloured the image in Word & cut it out using a circle nestie.
I then inked it while still in the die, with Antique Linen & Old Paper
distress inks!  I cut out a cog using kraft card & a spellbinders die 
then used it to frame the image.


The sentiment was done in Word on the pc using a free font
called 1942 Report. It looks so like typewriter font & I reckon
it's just perfect to go with this type of image!


A final side on view of my card!Thanks so much for stopping by! 
I do love it when you visit!
Don't forget  to enter your Here Come The Boys creations at
