Birthday Skater Boy (Jellypark image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple of boy cards to show but I have a few girly ones coming shortly too. I do like to occasionally create boys cards especially as I have an 11 year old son who sometimes needs cards for his friends. 

Unfortunately I got this from the online digi store Jellypark who are no longer around, very sad as they had some lovely images and this is one I have used before (photos below). I don't look at my previous cards when using the same image and I like to see how different they look when I add it to my post like this but for the first time ever it is very similar with the same cloud and fence! The cloud and fence are from my company, Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

The Man, The Myth, The Legend! card (Kenny K sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you are all excited about the new season, does everyone have change of seasons at the same time? We just started Autumn here in Australia on 1st March, is that the same day most of the world changes to Spring? Hmmm, just wondering, I should probably google it but I'm sure one of you can help me out :) ...

Anyway, onto my card and it is a very different type of card for me. For one, it doesn't have a cute little image on it and secondly it's a male card! What's got into me I hear you say hehe, well I have a few cute cards I will be posting shortly too. 

With this card, I finally got to try out my silver paper with my "metal" embossing folder to give it a real manly feel. The great sentiment comes from Kenny K. I enjoy ripping paper too for masculine cards.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Boys Birthday

AllSorts - Sentiment in focus

Come and Get it - Monochromatic

The Crafty Addicts - Anything goes/cards for a man

Life Should Be Celebrated card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have a Saturated Canary card that I hope you like. I tried a watercolour background after I coloured the image which was a little scary, I was quite worried I would ruin the whole thing as I haven't done this very often over the years but I love how it turned out in the end.
