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 :)

We're lucky enough to have 2 sponsors this month :-
All Dressed Up - 2 digis as prize (winners choice)
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:

Firstly, huge congrats on your success in the magazine competition; such a well deserved accolade :-)
I find inspiration every time I visit your blog as your cards are full of clever ideas and beautifully put together. This snowboarder design is a case in point as I love the way you separated the digi elements and the distressed DP layers are fab. In fact, I may have to go shopping for that paper collection...so good for male designs!
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!
Big hugs, Kat xx
