Bowls

Welcome to my latest follower, Debby.  Please visit her blog A Scrapjourney for lots of inspiration.  

 The caretaker at the school where I used to teach will be 80 years old next week and he is still doing his job! His main hobby is lawn bowls, so I decided to make a bowls scene.
  The grass is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder 'Forest Branches'.  I used three dies to create the background scene, Lil' inker 'Cloud Sky', Poppy Stamps 'Picket Fence' and Die-namics 'Fresh Cut Grass' (which you can just see behind the fence).  The image is a digi stamp by Just Inklined which I coloured with Promarkers and then cut out, before attaching with foam pads to give dimension.

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

    How clever to have this image for your 80-yr old friend, and how super wonderful it is, that he can still do his job! You've picked the perfect theme for his big day, and love all the texture you've created with the dies, the overlay and that pretty fence. He'll be delighted! TFS & Hugs
