Something New for Crafty Calendar

Hello peeps, Happy New Year to you :)

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions?  Broken them yet?!  One of mine is to use my good papers instead of hoarding them. Hmm, I wonder how long that will last :D

Before I show you my card I have some exciting news to share with you.  I am one of the runners up in the 2015 'Card Designer of the Year' competition at Simply Cards & Papercraft.
Woo hoo! What a great start to 2016, I'm chuffed to bits :)

 

Today is the start of a 'Something New' challenge at Crafty Calendar

We're lucky enough to have 2 sponsors this month :-

All Dressed Up  - 2 digis as prize (winners choice)

and

Wild Orchid Crafts - prize is a £10 Gift Voucher

 

For my inspiration card I have used the fabulous digi 'Cool Dudes' from All Dressed Up.

I separated out the elements before printing as I wanted space around the mountains. There is a snowboarding dog included as part of this digi but I've left him out as this is for a cousin's birthday and his dog looks nothing like the one in the digi.  I've coloured the image in with Promarkers and Graph'Its:

Hat/Top - Pastel beige, Khaki, Umber

Jeans -7105, 7110, 7115, 7119

Shirt - Ice Grey 1 & 2

Shoes - Ice Grey 4, 9506

Skin - 4110, 4150, 4180

My 'Something New' is a tree die from Marianne Designs, and the papers are also new. They are from the 'Manpants' collection by Nitwit. I printed them onto 250gsm card, edged them with Old Paper Distress Ink and roughened up the edges with my scissors.
