My first Basic Grey Challenge

I've often stopped by the Basic Grey Challenge blog and admired the lovely work created by the very talented DT there, but never actually got round to taking part. Well, I've just spent the past hour 'pottering' and this is what I've come up with for this weeks sketch challenge (with just a little inspiration taken from DT Kim's card ;o)).


This covers one of the many male birthday cards (urgh!!!) I need in May, a rather tongue in cheek little number for a dear friend (but don't tell Mr S that if you're reading this Lesley, and act surprised when he opens it, lol!!!). Apart from BG Arcahic papers I've also used one of the new Chunky Praise Phrases from The Cutting Cafe which I printed onto the BG paper then cut around and mounted onto foam pads. I also added part of the phrase to the 'image' panel. I hope the humour will be appreciated here!!!

Details; Bazzill card stock, BG Archaic papers, Fiskars Effervescence punch, Doodlebug simply sweet beetle black rub-ons, buttons from stash, Nestabilities Labels One

Anyway, before I go, first of all thanks for stopping by! And secondly I'll just leave this little reminder for you to check out!
