Quick In-Law Birthday Card

Hiya

Even though I have lost my mojo lately, I have had fun making these cards in a rush.... story of my life really !
 Well not only did I make the last two cards on sunday morning in a rush....... I had to make another card for my Mother-in-laws birthday. So I made this one on Tuesday morning, two hours before delivering it.

I used this lovely Basic Grey Paper as a base then stamped the boy (Whiff Of Joy ) and masked him up. I then stamped the watering  ( Magnolia) can over the top. I coloured the images with my Promarkers keeping the colours simple to match the patterned paper... then used a blue wax pencil to shade around the outside and Odourless Spirit to blend. I think it gives a warmer feel and no need for a background. 
The sentiment is a digi from Sentiments 4 You distressed with Tim Holtz - Stormy Sky ink. I found some lovely buttons in my stash... so I threaded with string and added to the card. The image is stamped on Spellbindes Labels 10 and cutting out without cutting his head off.
Mum in law loved it and I love her.

Background Challenge #7

Hello Bloggers
I had a DT challenge over at DO IT WITH DIGIS using backgrounds from our dear sponsor Di's Digi Downloads. We were lucky enough to get some lovely digis and had to also use a Tilda stamp. So I created this card. Go on and enter for yourself.

I used a combo of wax pencils with odourless spirit to colour the image and background image, then used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to blend the edge of the background card.
The sentiment is from one of Lynnes ticket sets. I used Stormy Sky Distress ink to co-ordinate the colours.

I hope you like.
