A little hello.....

I wish the weekends didn't go by so quickly,but here we are Monday morning again and time for a new challenge over at Cards for Men this time we would like to see.......

TEXTURE on your cards.....  

We are sponsored for this challenge by......



 I'm sure you're all familiar with the wonderful work of Kenny K's Shop but what about the man (and woman) behind those wonderful creations.  Take a look here to see their journey, http://www.kennykdownloads.com/about-kenny-and-elena.php

Prize:  4 digis

website:       www.kennykdownloads.com


The Design Team were given some fabulous images to play with and here is my card....


I've used Miss Fortune for my card coloured with Promarkers and flexmarkers and I've used my spellbinder nesties to cut out doing the out the box technique....I've used the gingham card and the bazill swiss dot card from my stash....The silver mirri card I've put through a spellbinders m-bossibilities  embossing folder.....And the corrugated card is again from my stash....  


The raffia lace,ribbon and black glass gems are all from my stash,I have so much stuff I'm trying to use up....
The stars have both been punched out with Woodware punches then layered together and a gem added...The sentiment is from a little set but I can't remember who they are by sorry..... 



A little peek at the inside which has been decorated to compliment the outside....

I would like to enter my card over at.....

Make it Monday - Always Anything Goes

I'm slowly playing catch up with my visits and comments after being ill so please be patient I will be with you as soon as I can......  

Hope you all have a fabulous week.....
