Cards for Men challenge....

Morning Everyone,

Wow didn't the weekend fly pass...We were going to the garden center on Saturday morning to get some bits for the garden but unfortunately we spent it at the hospital A&E,it was Katy this time she stood to get up off of the sofa to go and put some shoes on to go out and there was this awful sound like someone snapping a twig,she was in a lot of pain and almost immediately it started to swell,so off we went and low and behold she has torn the ligament off the end of the metatarsal bone,her foot is a lovely colour,black,blue yellow,but she has gone hobbling off to school as she has exams this week and didn't want to miss out,she follows her Mum such a trooper...lol...

Anyway here is my card for our new challenge over at Cards for Men.......This time my lovely team mate Alison has the theme of Embossing for you all it can be dry or heat embossing or any type of embossing.....And our sponsor this time is Paper Pretties..... here is a little bit about them.......

Top - Denim Blue,Pastel Blue,Powder Blue

Shorts,Boots - Amber,Gold

Ball and Socks - Olive Green,Pear Green

I have cut the image out with my nesties.....The grey card I ran through an embossing folder I love this one it's the brick one...The paper is from my scrap box so sorry I don't know who it's by......

The ribbon and buttons are from my stash and the sentiment is from a woodware set and the outer frame is from a TH set held onto the card with brads...The one tucked behind the image is stamped onto kraft card and can be used for lots of occasions...Please popover to the Challenge blog and checkout the fabulous cards the rest of the team have made and hopefully you'll join in with us we would love to see what you make....

Anyway that's it from me just off to do my duties at my Mum and Dad's then I'm hoping to do some crafting later...Take care....
