Atten-shun!

Have I got your attention now?  Good!

Just a quick short post to show a birthday card I

made recently for a little boy.

I used the 'Toy Soldier' Sizzix Bigz die from the

Tim Holtz/Alterations range.

I cut the pieces from felt and distressed it slightly 

with distress inks.

The background is cut from a roll of wrapping paper,

mounted onto a piece of card and distressed with

some white acrylic paint.

The black border is just a black felt tip edging.

I must admit when I saw this wrapping paper

a couple of years ago now, 

I bought it with the sole intention of using it with this die -

and hey I did!  Better late than never :)

OK, you can stand easy now ....

and thanks for looking of course!
