From Master Board to Card

I decided that having made a master board, I should use it to create a card.  It didn't take very long and I have plenty of background pieces left over for another card and some tags.

Crazy Dog Birthday

This card was made for a crafty friend's birthday yesterday.  As she has just adopted a new dog, this seemed the perfect opportunity to break out the Crazy Dog stamps and dies by Tim Holtz.

What A Hoot!

This was actually the first card that I made for those colleagues leaving our school this summer; a special order from our fabulous Teaching Assistants for our SENCO, who was moving on to become Headteacher at a very lucky school!  She loves owls and I wanted to use the Brusho / white space technique so I combined both.  The finished card actually had an extra 'baby' owl in the bottom left corner.

Messy Layered Background: The Finished Card

I used the messy layered background to create a men's card; suitable for a birthday.
