Kathy's challenge

Kathy over on the Bubbly Funk forum has just passed her 40,000th visitor to her blog and to mark the occasion has set a challenge to make a card using this sketch. I thought it would be a good opportunity to make my Dad's card for either his birthday or Father's day, both next month and started off with the appropriate colours but somehow I got sidetracked when I rediscovered this stamp from Personal Impressions. I've only used it once before and that was well over a year ago. I'm not sure when I will use the card but it was nice to use the stamp again and work within someone else's guidelines.

I used a square white hammered cardstock and onto this layered a square of blue textured card, from a stack by DCWV, and onto that a piece of pale blue glitter card. The patterned card is some I had in my stash from a few years ago, as is the ribbon which is navy edged with gold thread. The white card is the same as the base card, the smaller piece being cut with a deckle edge and trimmed with a baby blue inkpad from Versa Colour. The fabric flower is held in place with a small brad. It was still a man's card until I searched for an image to put on the large white area. The fairy stamp caught my eye and had to be used, with black Stazon and shimmery watercolour paints. Gold peel-offs complete the card.
