My little Dennis the Menace....

Hi Susan here, I couldn't resist making this one!!!

All my backing papers are from Nitwits and they have all been distressed and mat and layered onto a brown distressed card for definition.

I used a Multi-Shaper allDeco Punch for the border lace work.

The satin finished ribbon is from our local market.

This Lili of the Valley image is so cute and reminds me of my childhood watching Dennis the Menace with his girlfriend Margaret!!! Love it!!

I used Pro-Markers to colour it keeping to my colour theme of blue and a touch of pink then inked the background before distressing the edges of the topper and mat and layering onto a brown distressed card.

We recently had a substantial order delivered from Wild Orchid Crafts and since then I can't stop going to the storage box to look at all the beautiful new flowers we have, these gorgeous blue blooms are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I love them!!! Just right for my colour scheme.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card, I hope you liked it.

Love Susan

    I saw this being made and was amazed by how quickly you did it. This would have taken me a week to plan out, I'm not joking. It was great to see you using the Pro-markers, I've never seen them used before. I love your papers and think your layout was so brilliant. I'm just amazed by how quickly you two make these masterpieces, they have the quality of years in the making but you're both so clever at what you do that you've got each one down to a fine art.
    Fantastic card Mam xxx
