18th and sketch

 Hi Everyone, my card today is for our G Nephew, who's birthday it is today, as you see by the card he is 18, I didn't have any mojo and discounted every idea, even looking on Pinterest, nothing leapt out to me, until I saw a heading for a card and it came to me. I just hope he likes it. He has a great sense of humour and I know he hasn't seen the photo before, neither have his parents, so if nothing else that will be a little interest. 

I had forgotten to take a photo of the card and just as hubby was about to take it to post, I remembered and put it into the lightbox, took a photo and off hubby went with it, before I could check the quality. I'm not happy with the photo, I'm not sure if it's the grey background that lets it down. I think it has shadow at the bottom and that's not what I wanted. A bit more practice or just taking my time may help?

I followed a sketch and this is what I came up with.

  19. What a perfect card for an 18th Faith! By that age they are able to look back with a bit of nostalgia. I love the idea of a card that is also almost a scrapbook page - and I bet his parents will be wanting to keep this as a souvenir. Vicky x
