Happy Birthday Son with Tatty Ted.



Hi Guys,

What a lovely day, got loads of gardening to do and we must make hay while the sun shines, or so they say, so today's card is a nice quick one that I made for my son's birthday.






The entire card is made using components from my Docrafts 'Especially For You' cd. I absolutely love this double cd, it's so versatile, there's something for every occasion. My son is quite a dapper dresser and  has a vast collection of smart suits and lovely ties for his job, so I thought this image was ideal. The decoupaged character is quite large, so I used an 8x8 card blank, with a simple blue polka dot backing paper to keep it simple and a contrasting 'Me to You' border to break it up.






The decoupage was quite fiddly to cut out, but I enjoy doing it while watching telly. So I print loads off and then cut them out at my leisure. Perhaps I should start taking some to do in the camper.
The sentiment tag is also on the cd and I just added 'Son' to it, using the text tool. I attached it with a blue brad, added a bit of blue card candy and voila, done. I love it and so did my boy. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-


Digital Tuesday - Monochromatic.
Forever Friends (fortnightly) Challenge - Anything goes.( Use an animal)
Gems - Ready Teddy Go - Anything goes & blog hop.



 Hope you enjoyed my blog and thanks for coming. Hope to see you again soon.
