Things With Wings

Good Morning everyone, and a warm welcome to my blog.

Today sees another new challenge over at The Crafty Pad, and this week the lovely Debbi from the DT has chosen the theme, which is #181:   

THINGS WITH WINGS

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Joanna Sheen with a £10 online voucher.

There is fabby array of creations over at the challenge blog, and not just cards either, so be sure to take a peek at Team B's creations.

I have used the adorable Dilbert the dragon for my card, and if you love him as much as I do, you'll be pleased to know there are several Dilbert images available....just click HERE to see them.

My card is for my nephew who turned 16 on Friday: The sentiment was created on the computer.

I used a digi paper pack from The Crafty Pad Designs to paper-piece Dilbert and for the backing too, a fab set called Mint & Cream Delight (along with one of the papers from another set called Strawberry Sundae Delight.) There are several really versatile digi paper packs availabe, so click HERE to take a look.

I added a panel of Magic-Mesh, with a punched border over the top, and a red grosgrain ribbon over the top of that!! Some card candi dots coloured with Promarkers. I finished by adding some faux stitching in black and white gel pens to the layers.

Finally, I decorated the inside to match (mainly using the leftover pieces of paper.)

We would love for you to join in with our challenge this week, and look forward to visiting your blogs.
