Allsorts

This is my very first entry for a blogging competition, its for the weeks allsorts challenge. Its a birthday card for my brother (hes hitting the big 3.0! Haha). This was quite a challenge for me, not only did I have this fab sketch to follow

But somewhere in the design I had to include a torn edge!!!! I love clean straight lines and can often be heard saying "O no its gone all wonkey!" and getting myself in a tizz when Im creating. But actually I found it quite freeing and will definitly be including some torn edges in my future cards and collages.

Enough jacking heres the card.

I was kind of cheep making this one, Im blushing just typing it, but....

The white card and purple paper (around the photo and across the card) are from WH Smith, own range.

The Stripped paper is Lilac Boutique Stripe from Doodlebug Design,

The blue stripe across the page are from Kit 'N Kraft from the summer collection, The lettering (I think) is from Papermania - I dont have any more info as I have thrown away the packaging for it and had to look them up online.

The gems are definitley Papermania.

Finally the image in the centre is not available in any shop, its a photo of my beloved cat Alfie, which I took myself.

I hope he enjoys recieving it as much as I enjoyed making it. I look forward to completing my next blogger challenge, there are so many great ones to try.
