Lacy Sunshine - Challenge # 7

-
Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at Lacy sunshine challenge.  This time the challenge is to go monochromatic!!!

Well this was quite a challenge.  I had just the perfect sentiment for my wonderful digi... but I sooo wanted to color him up in the Habs colors... you see in Montreal we are big hockey fans with the Canadians of Montreal... and well... it just wouldn't do with this challenge.  So I went with blue.  All blue so that my hubby doesn't think it was for his old Nordics from Quebec... there was a bit of a rivalry you see between Quebec city and Montreal lol.


Isn't he cute?!?  I used some twine from American Craft and buttons from my stash.  Of course I just love my scallop and classic circle from Spellbinder and it was perfect for this.  The papers are all left over paper that I had in my cut out pile.  I also did some embossing with my Fretboard folder from Couture creation.

Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics.  The sentiment is from Create with tlc.  I thought that sentiment was really perfect for a hockey player!!!
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

  1. Sweet stampin challenge blog - Anything but birthday
  2. Card crafters circle - Boys to men (masculine card)
  3. Southern girls challenge - Buttons, badge or flair ( used buttons)
  4. Crafty sentiments - Monochromatic
  5. The papershelter - For the boys
So that's the 1st post of this Sunday!  There's still one more on the way so please come back for it ;)  I would also like to give a big hello to my newest followers.  

There's still a few days to enter in my giveaway to celebrate my 300 followers! If you are a follower You can enter at this post and if you’re not now is a great time to become one…
