Sketch N Stash Challenge #78

Wowzers, it has been a looooong time since I last posted, hoping there are some of you still around to take a look see at this little card.  I was asked to make it for a 'friend' of my mom's whose birthday is next week.  I say 'friend' because this person hasn't been that great a friend to my mom so I honestly was quite reluctant to do it for her as I don't really like this person that much! 


But nevertheless I figured if it will help me get my mojo back then dig in.
It's for a man, hence the lack of embellishments, and I was stuck for a layout so went to the Sketch N Stash challenge blog for inspiration.  

So this is what I came up with following their layout.  The image is Party Cat by High Hopes, coloured with Copics: E33 (fur), RV42 (cheeks and inner ears), B12, 18, 24 (the parcel, 2 balloons) and YR16 (last balloon).  The papers are from an old Papermania stack called For Him matted onto some plain orange and blue card.  Card is 15x15cm. The little blue stars are from stash which I've had for ages and the round sentiment is from Lili of the Valley - Dreamy Days set punched with a scalloped circle from Woodware (blue size). Phew.


It's the first time I've entered into this challenge blog and I'm hoping I can get my act together enough to enter more regularly thru-out blogland!  Anyhoo best get off.


Hugs
Heather
