A Disappointment!

Hello Everyone - I hope you're well and having a good week.

In case you saw my last post (below), my friend loved the jewellery I made her - she was wearing the earrings I made for her the next day I went into work, and they really suit her! I was chuffed to bits LOL!

Anyway, my nephew will be 4 tomorrow and I've made him a card. But, I'm really disappointed with the way it turned out - I don't know what's not quite right about it - I'm considering adding a Happy Birthday sentiment at the top but haven't got much time as I've made this last minute again! I'm actually going out this evening to a charity make-up evening - I honestly can't remember the last time I had a night out without my hubby (even those are very rare occasions!). And you know how it is? - you say yes to something and then wish you hadn't - well that's how I'm feeling right now - can't decide what to wear, blah blah! Stop, that's enough! On to my card:



The image is a Wags n Whiskers digi called Speed Racer which I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts. I've coloured it with Promarkers, with the same kind of colours as Lightning McQueen from the Disney films Cars - my nephew is mad on those characters. The papers are some I've had for ages. I've also had the buttons for ages - they were purple and blue, and I've coloured them with a black Sharpie pen. I added some gloss to the little windscreen and the headlights.

I've followed the sketch at Passion for Promarkers, and I'm also going to enter the following challenges:

Sweet Stampin Challenge
Cute Card Thursday
Totally Gorjuss
which are all for boys/men.

Well, that's it - I need to finish the ironing, then get the children some tea, before making an effort to get ready!

See you soon.

Love, Andrea xx

Your card is so cute... you are being a bit hard on yourself there. You make AWESOME cards, you know!

See that charity make up evening turned out to be good so it was worth it, right?
