Four challenges, one card...BOOM!

Hello there!

Today is SUPER busy day so I'm going to have to be quick!  There are about a million things I should be doing instead of writing a blog post...he he!  I'm off to the airport in two hours for a little trip to Edinburgh for my DOH's brother's wedding!

I would like to take a moment to say hi to my new followers though!  I'm so glad to have you here and I hope you enjoy your stay!  ;)

Now, as the title suggests I managed to hit four challenges with one card!  Hopefully it counts for all of them ;)

The challenges are Catered Crop - Orange is the new black (which I did start watching on Netflix last night and looks pretty good!); CAS(E) this sketch #50 (can you believe it's been going nearly a year already?!); the Fusion card challenge which I haven't played along with for a while and last, but not least, The Paper Players - a CAS masculine birthday card.

Here's my card;

...and a wee close up of the stitching...

Yes, I'm still on a sewing roll!  I know that my Father-In-Law won't realise just how long it took to draw the circles, measure the distance between the holes (I am too OCD to eyeball that sort of thing!) pierce the holes and then sew them...but that's ok, I know you guys do ;)

The layout is from the CTS sketch, the colours are from the inspiration photo over at Fusion (and kinda the layout I guess?) and the Catered Crop orange-ness.  Hopefully this counts as a CAS masculine birthday card too because like I say, it's going to my Father-In-Law!!  ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by, all your support really encourages my creativity ;)

Still with the grey background Blogger?!!!  Really?!!
