OSAAT #163 - Summer Sun

The theme this week at One Stitch at a Time is Summer Sun. I hope my card covers this topic by using hot colours such as red and yellow. It's a birthday card for my great nephew and William's birthday, hopefully, will have some Summer Sun.

The image I've used is called Birthday Boy 1 by BeeBeeKakes over at the Stitchybear Digi Outlet. You can get a Birthday Girl too so hop over there and buy these cute little images.

I used a small card blank by Joanna Sheen. The blue striped paper is from a Papermania pad by Docraft. I matted it on to red Papermill card. I coloured the image with Promarkers, cut it with a Spellbinders grand nestie and used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink on the inside edge. After trying it against the striped paper I decided to mat the image on to red card too to make it stand out more. I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the number 1 in Papermill yellow card which I added to a 'die cut and embossing stencil' shape. I have no idea who makes these but I ordered them from Joanna Sheen website. They are only £4.99 per set of four or five sizes, depending on which set you buy.

The sponsor this week is Creative Craft World but do check out the challenge blog for full details of prizes.
