Oh boy do we have a great sketch for you over at Whiff of Joy Challenge this week, it is one designed by the lovely Donalda and is just fabby to work with. I have thought of late that my cards have been a bit ' samey' and so I decided to do something different this week, I am not sure that I am happy with it but decided to go with it and see what you all thought as it is alwasy good to do something outside of your comfort zone once in a while.
I have used the lovely Oakley as a Groom stamp and have cropped it with my nesties, he doesn't look so weddingy this way so thought the card could be used for an older boys birthday. I have coloured the image with my copics and used a white gel pen for hilighting. The papers are DCWV and I have used a black glossy card for the background. The buttons are cut from velvet paper using a sizzlits die and I have tied them with organza ribbon from my stash.
Laslty I added a few adhesive silver balls and tied some more organza ribbon round the card as it looked a little bare. I hope you have time to come and join in with us this week, catch you son,hugs,

A great card Claire, fantastic colours. Your cards are definitely not samey. I feel like that about mine and they probably are.
