Create your own background TMR

 Hi Everyone, my card today is for

I had a card to make for our neighbour, so went looking through stamps and my digistamps and found Ted. I've used him a couple of times, and cased one of my cards here, our neighbour loves his garden, it was for his 82nd birthday.

I took Fred into Silhouette and cut him 3 times, the background twice, in case I made an error, you know I hate fussy cutting!  I coloured the background in DI's, adding a few bushes in the garden, then some grass and sky. All layered onto a die cut circle. Ted was coloured, and the 3 layers glued together and added to the background.

digi stamp - Dr Digi, Ted & his shed
inks - Distress Inks
circle die - Tonic pin dot
hollyhock die -  AliExpress
sentiment - from the web
