Mr Turtle

Hello to all my cyber visitors - it's good to 'see' you here!

I have made a habit of not reading some of the challenge 'rules' recently and have managed to 'disqualify' myself from a couple as a result - not that I am unduly worried, but I thought that this card filled the criteria for two challenges, so I would leave it at that.

I had an order for a card for a youngster, and started with this stamp 

from  Bugaboo Stamps, and thought it would be good to use on the sketch from the Stampin Royalty challenge, and this is the result.

I coloured the turtle with Stampin' Up pencils and then water brushed them. Added crystal and gold KindyGlitz, and mounted the panel on some metallic blue paper.  Embossed the sentiment (from Hero Arts) , and mounted it on scraps from my stash, cut to size.  The stitching in the sketch was replaced with ribbon, and the buttons with more metallic paper cut into circles.

This is a very cheerful card and I am very happy with it as, perhaps surprisingly, I struggle with cards for children.

I am linking this to:
