Military Birthday Card

I’m afraid I’ve been MIA for a while. The reason? I’m doing an online drawing course and it’s taking up a lot of my time, so card making has taken a bit of a back seat.

A friend of Roy’s recently had his 87th birthday so I made him a suitable card. He’s ex military and also collects model soldiers as Roy does. 

I was really pleased that I was able to make use of the stamp I’d bought for Roy’s birthday card as I thought it might only get used once. The badge and sentiment were computer generated.

Digitally Sweet Challenge #74

 

 This week we have an anything goes challenge with an option of following the  layout of the card above.  Digi Darla is sponsoring us so do go and check the great range of digistamps. I picked "Soldier Boy" and flipped the layout.

 

 I digitally paper pieced and painted him - loving using my new graphics tablet for this - so much easier than using the mouse!! I also used a Daisy Trail kit called Commando.Don't think I'd better give this card to my son though as he's in the RAF(lol)!
