Sketch Saturday meets Critter sketch challenge.....

Needed a card for my FIL asap so set to work last night. Now I am really not keen on doing male cards, and I don't have that many suitable images to choose from either. So I needed a challenge, or two, to get me going. This weeks Critter sketch challenge was 'made to measure'
" This weeks challenge is to create a boy card or scrapbook page. (I figure my FIL's an old boy, so hopefully this will count) The twist is it MUST contain glitter somewhere on your creation." Oooooh.......glitter on a boy card....eeek! OK, so there's my theme.....now for a sketch layout to follow courtesy of the Sketch Saturday challenge team and here's my card

Now you may be wondering where the glitter is, well it is there its just hard to see (honest!) here's a close up, I've used some very fine glitter to add some highlights to the water ripples.

Thanks for visiting

    Oh, I love this card. I love the background papers you created for the image. LOTV stamps are some of my favourite! I just ordered some of the new Christmas images! I love the accent touch of glitter in the water. Thanks for playing along with the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog!

    This is a cute image and great colouring. I would have been so heavy handed with that glitter, so I just love how you have kept it delicate and shimmery.
    Thanks for the lovely comments you've left on my blog... I have added the Skinny Banana Bread Recipe. :-)

    Hi Kaz!!! just found your wonderful blog through my barmy mate Squirrel! your cards are totally beautiful. I have enjoyed having a look through your blog and we seem to have a bit in common apart from our love for cardmaking & crafts. I am an East Sussexian, i am from Eastbourne, i have two furbabies (by the way your kitty is soooo cute!), we both love the Glitterpot and i am sure there are probably a few other things so i am now following you to see what else i can come up with!!!. So glad i found you, hugs Clare xxx
