Sailor Edwin


Hi

Today I want to show you the card I've made for William's Birthday.  I can't beleive that my youngest will be 10 on Wednesday - where did the last 10 years go? !!!


I used Edwin with Binoculars and Pier Background for this card, colouring them both with my Copic Markers.  Here's a close-up


I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Magnolia-Licious - Inspiration / Colour challenge
ABC DT Challenge - Colour Challenge
Speed Fox and Friends Challenge - Masculine Birthday
Wags n Whiskers Challenge - Red, White & Blue
Tilda's Town Challenge - Card for a Man or Boy



RECIPE:

Stamps - Edwin with Binoculars and Pier Background
Colouring Medium - Copic Markers
Papers - Magnolia
Card - From my stash
Sentiment Bunting - Whimsy Stamps and Whimsy Dies, strung with Baking Twine 
Ribbon and Charm - From my stash
Ships Wheel - Cut on my Silhouette



Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it. 

Hugs
