"For The Boys" - Get Creative Challenge # 17

Good morning everybody.   Challenge 17 is from The Pink Team and our remit is to produce a card "For The Boys". So that's two male cards in a row for me.  Our sponsor this month is Eureka Stamps and   I have chosen Mountain Border for my card and you can find it here.  We would love it if you would join us this time. The prize is three digi images of your choice.

My Card

This quite a busy image and initially I was going to leave it black and white. My second thought was just to add colour to some parts of the image which I think works really well. My third thought was to try something I have been saying I will try but never ever getting round to it. I coloured it digitally using "Microsoft Picture It!" which is the software programme I use.  I had a few false starts before I produced something I was happy with, but it was great because you just discard it and start again.  I will certainly try it again at some stage.

Ingredients
5" x 7" Kraft cardstock base card
Embossing folder - Tartan Trellis from Sue Wilson
The spruce die - Impression Obsessions (no name on it)
Green pearlescent card from stash.
Sentiment - computer generated.

This card is for somebody special who is going through a difficult time - an encouragment card!  I trawled the internet until I found this perfect sentiment.

I hope you are all well.  We had a couple of great summer days - and then back to the cold and wind and rain!  What a start to summer!

Well I must go .  Take care.

    Hi Christine
    You are the quotation queen as this one is very poignant.
    Coupled with the gorgeous image, I'm sure it will inspire the recipient no end.
    Best wishes
