Snowboarding Birthday card - Say what now!

I was asked to make a Birthday card for a skier/snowboarder. This had me thinking for a while as to how to go about it and make a card not so Christmassy with a skier/snowboarder on it!

I did a Google search for an image and first started with Honey from All That Scraps, well I printed her too small when it came to putting her on the card, so I gave up with her and Google'd again, and Toby from The Greetings Farm came up. So off I toddled to TGF Central, bought him and downloaded him. 

He looks not so very masculine in his purples, and hopefully will pass as a lady snowboarder lol

I've used Basic Grey Papers - Eskimo Kisses. Flowers from WOC, Sentiment stamp from Whimsy as is the die used to cut out the tickets.

I'm entering this card into two challenges

The first being  Create 4 Fun - which is a great sketch and the second is Stamp Something which this week is DIGI week! 

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment and I will strive to come visit you back!

Create4Fun, A Spoon Full of Sugar & an Award!

The card below I am entering into two challenges

Create4Fun which is this fabulous Sketch which I have flipped

And A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge which is a 'Freestyle Challenge' so anything goes!

I've used Baking Tilda with Wooden Spoon and coloured her with Distress Inks. I've used the Pears and the Apple from the So Yummy 2009 Magnolia Kit too!

The papers are Basic Grey - Nook and Pantry - and are so lovely I didnt want to cut them up, distress or stain them! 

Here is a little close up of Tilda - She is so sweet.
