Wellington has a Beer

Hello

Sketch N Stash has a fabulous sketch for us to follow in their current challenge.  I needed to make a card for my Brother-in-Laws birthday.  Here is my card:

8 x 8 card

Wellington decoupage image, matted onto brown linen card cut using a Spellbinders die.

Backing papers are Papermania and came in a goody bag along with the border strip and the buttons.

The sentiment tag was cut with a Spellbinder die and the fleur de lis accents are also Spellbinders.

My card is also for the following challenges:

Bearly Mine Challenge - something old (backing papers and buttons) something new (Spellbinders label die).

Try it on Tuesday - New Stash (Spellbinders label die).

Ready Teddy Go Challenge - Something new (Spellbinders label die).

Cute Card Thursday - Something new (Spellbinders label die).

Thanks for visiting my blog and all the lovely and encouraging comments you leave me.
