Hi Susan here....

Now for my card......
This card was made originally with my Son-in-law in mind for his birthday. He is someone very special and I truly hope his day was the best.
My new technique was printing on kraft and although I coloured the majority of the image in with black chalk, I added here and there a hint of colour using chalks. I was really pleased with the result and will definately be using it again.
The card was made in the 'tent' style to give me the width I wanted. I used a border punch on some beautiful blue motled card and a strip of kraft which I distressed with inks. The string and embroidery thread are from my stask, as is the backing paper, which I distressed using the same distressing ink on the edges.
My ticket sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs.
Here is the image I used with chalks to give you a close up.
The digi image has been designed by Marina Neira and is available from The Stamping Bazaar Store, he is called 'Bikkie the Platypus' The buttons I covered myself from scraps of fabric.
