Cards for Men challenge....

Morning Everyone,

Long time no see,thank you for all your e-mails and comments asking if everything was ok....I've been spending a lot of time at my parents the past week or so...They have LPG gas heating and unfortunately it's not safe for them to have it anymore so we are having a new heating system and some other jobs done to make life safer and easier for them....

Thursday I took them shopping in the morning,then back home got them lunch and then received a phone call from Katy's school to say that there had been an incident,apparently two 6 foot 16 year old boys had thought it would be funny in the P.E lesson when the teacher wasn't looking to grab Katy's ankles and run and drag her across the field which resulted in them taking most of the skin off her back and bottom,the outcome has been that she has to go and have it dressed each day which put paid to me going to the show at Ally Pally,hopefully I'll get to go next time....

Anyway that hopefully explains my absence and lack of time for commenting,blogging and crafting,but it's time for a new challenge over at Cards for Men and our theme is......

SPORTS....So we are looking for lots of sport themed cards,please make sure they are for a boy/man...

Here's my take on the theme....

I've used a Kenny K image coloured with promarkers the colours used were....

apricot,oatmeal,blush,powder blue,pear green,moss green,marsh green,olive green,

tulip yellow,sunflower,gold,sandstone,caramel,cinnamon,cocoa,henna,warm grey 1,2,3

The papers are from a Dovecraft pad and I've used some brown card from my stash on the two thin strips I've run them through an embossing folder......

I've been playing with my promarkers while I was at my parents as they were easy to take with me,I'm hoping my colouring has improved with them.....The sentiment is from a LOTV set stamped onto kraft card...And the little golf charm I've had in my stash for a while and never had a card to use it on...Oh forgot to say the border was punched with an EK success punch,right I think that's everything,please checkout the rest of the teams fabulous cards and join in with us.....I'll be back later to announce the winner of my candy....Take care.....
