Happy 9th Birthday

Afternoon everyone. I hope that you have all been enjoying the lovely weather. I have taken full advantage when work lets me!!!!!. Christopher had his Go karting party on Friday and much fun was had by all. Some of the dads could not resist and had to have a go. Chris enjoyed it so much he now wants to take it up as a hobby, much to his dads delight. Apparently he is a natural!.
Right enough waffle and on to my card.....................

 I was commissioned to make this card for a rugby loving 9 year old called Oscar. It gave me a great opportunity to use a Lilli of the Valley stamp that has never been inked before. I drew inspiration from the team my son plays for the Wanstead Herons 12 and under.
 The papers are a boys stack by My Minds Eye. The banner has been cut using a Doohickey die and letters cut using my Cricut. Another first for me was using a neglected set of nesties from the labels range.
As you can see I also broke out the sewing machine. I am really happy with the way this one came out as I struggle with boy cards.

Thanks for visiting
