Getting organised.

Over at One Stitch at a Time there is a challenge to make a card with a military theme. Well, if that is not the encouragement I need to make my sons birthday card - as at the moment he is into all things military - you dont want to know where I have found little soldiers - lol.
I had a rubbish attempt at trying to print camoflauge (sp?) paper off the computer and remembered I had some oddments of basic grey sultry which I think does the job. I also used a nesties label and cut it in half to try and look like a pocket top with gold braiding (not 100% sure of army outfits!!), I also die cut his name and then added a couple of army embelishments that I managed to get in a sale at a local shop called Boyes.

Hope this is ok. Thanks for looking. x


Ooh I also had good news this week and won my first ever challenge - yippee - you dont know how chuffed I am - lol xxx

    Snap! I did a little soldier card for a boy too but my set didn't have a tank! I'd not made a note of the military challenge as I don't normally do "male" so thanks for the reminder. Your card's lovely, I think your DP looks great, perfect colour.

    that is a great army card as it's so hard to think of themed ideas! My DS had an army party but I chickened out of creating an army card as had no inspiration so well done!
