HARD TO MAKE MAN CARD LOL!!!

Well how good is this 2 cards in one day lol!!
I had to do this today to post to my Niece's lovely husband Jimmy. They both come from Australia but decided they would like to spend some time in the UK & now live & work in London. That's brilliant for us because we get to see them more often. He apparently likes his rugby (All Blacks) from Oz is his favourite team so that kind of made it easy for the colouring in. Well that's my excuse lol!! 
Stamp - Rugby- Vintage Memories
Stamped in memento & coloured in with Flexmarkers (love them)
Used an Ink Duster with Distress inks for Sky & Grass
Sentiment - Stampin up
Mounted onto Black embossed dotty card & Silver mirri card.

A CARD FOR MY NEPHEW'S PARTNER

This is just a simple but effective card I made for Georgia who lives in Australia. I have never met her but I know she loves horses. 
I have used Inkadinkadoo clear stamps to stamp the main image & then made a border with the smaller galloping horses.
I have distressed the edges with Walnut Stain & added some Jute & a few buttons from my stash.
