DAD'S SHOES

Our grandson will be 2 next week, and this is the card I have made him, he's always in his Mum or Dad's shoes, so this image from Mo Manning is very appropriate.
 
                                                                 
I have coloured the image with copics, and yes he is a gingernut
The  stars were cut on the  silhouette
corners are a spellbinders die
and yes it's that banner again from  La la land crafts

IT'S NOT SQUARE

Something different from me today, a card that's not square.

                                                                      
It's the first time i've made this shape of card, but I do like it, and may make more.
I cut the circle for the base with my Silhouette SD, then used  spellbinders scalloped circles, and tattered lace dies, flowers cut with tonic punches, leaves woodware punch, pearls from hobbyhouse. The image is a pre-coloured mo manning die cut also from the hobbyhouse.
