Just Magnolia Week 15 ~ A sketch by Tab!

Over at Just Magnolias today, there is a fantastic sketch by the lovely and might I add, very talented Tab!

I decided to colour two images of Edwin with his surfboard this morning and depending on which one I liked best, I would make a card with. So off I went, inked and stamped, and coloured him twice!

Decisions...Decisions...Decisions....

I'm a woman and they don't come easy to me, so I decided to make two cards, the one I thought was the best I'd enter into the challenge - Again, I had to make a decision, other half was out working and Poppy fast asleep in her cot, so no easy option, so both of them are here!

Edwin in Teal...

There you have it, I don't know if you have a preference, but I liked them both and couldn't decide!

~ Recipe ~

Stamps : Edwin from the Summer Magnolia Collection (Which I'm in LOVE with)
Card/papers : Papers printed from Bearly Mine Designs Designer Extreme Vol I and II, Card from stash
Tools : Corner rounder punch from Woodware (I think)
Embellies : Ribbon from stash, Card Candy in orange and teal from Donna (Fanks again :oD ), Surfboard cut out from a post card I saw in a shop window and bought a couple.

Thank you for popping by and for any lovely comments you leave!
YYY

These are fab Kimmi, I love them both but the orange one is my favourite, I think that is because orange has always been one of my favourite colours (that might have something to do with orange smarties!). I love your postcard surfboards!
