A Joint Effort!

This is my card for the Alphabet Challenge this week and my C is for Cowboy! The card is a bit of a joint effort! I have used a digi stamp from the Sketching Stamper for the background. To be honest with you, I printed it off and made a bit of a pigs ear of the colouring so my Son stepped in and tried to show me how to colour things on the computer using a programme called Gimp. He coloured the background for me - think it will take me a while to be up to speed with this! The Cowboy image is from TandaStamps - Cowboy Timmy and he has been water coloured. Embellished with brads, string and a cowboy hat charm.


My second card today is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge which was Marshmallows & Chocolate! I haven't played with Tilda for such a long time, so I decided to get one of the Tilda Stamps out for a play. The image has been water coloured and mounted over a background of embossed pieces of card and patterned paper. Embellished with Organza ribbon and pearls.

warm wishes

Wendy, both are lovely cards. I'd never heard of gimp but wouldn't know where to start on something like that. Obviously his Mum's creativity has rubbed-off on your son. Kym xxx
