Relax !


Hi

Today I have a birthday card to show you.  I made it for my father in law.

I used a Digi Image from Just Inklined called It's a Man's World.


I coloured the image using my Copic Markers, here's a close-up


The large R relax sentiment was printed and cut using my Silhouette, I felt it suited the image perfectly.

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

Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenge - Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time - Use a Digi


Thanks for stopping by today.
