Inspired by the sunrise.

I struggle with male cards so I needed lots of inspiration. I thought I’d use blue for the Digital Tuesday challenge and then I saw the Can You Digi It challenge and decided to team it with orange.

I used a layout from the Critter Sketch Challenge

and thought that topping the card with stiched bunting would be perfect. So here is my card

I blended distress ink around the edges of the card. I designed my paper using Craft Artist so virtually all of the elements are digital.

My image is a Lili of the Valley die cut but I added some extra clour and coloured the background.

It is difficult to see on this photo but the orange edges around the bunting are a satin stitch effect.
I decorated the inside of the card in matching clours but added the sun and buildings element.

I would like to enter the following challenges
Digital Tuesday – Winter Blues (either wintry or blue)
Crazy Amigo Challenge –  Bunting
Glitter Geeks – Stitches
Crafty Ann’s – Stitching
Can You Digi It – Sunset and sunrise inspiration photo at the top of the post
Critter Sketch – Sketch at top of post
