Messing about on the river

This month's image for the Progressive Challenge on the Art by Barb Facebook page makes a great summer birthday card for a young lad. What can be more fun than taking a good friend for a canoe trip on a lovely sunny day. I wish I could join them!

Print the image at required size on X-Press It card and colour with Copics. Use a square die set to cut the image and a slightly larger mat (cut from a piece of the water paper from the Sizzling Summer set).

Attach the image to the mat then glue the mat onto blue card and trim away the excess leaving a narrow border around the edges.

Use the rope and greeting stamp with black archival ink to make the greeting at the bottom of the card and colour with Polychromo pencils.

Attach the topper to the front of the card.

Thank you for dropping in. Take care.

  1. Aww! This is a real eye catcher. Fabulous card Pippa. Super colouring. What a great idea to frame the sentiment with the rope.

  2. Pippa this is a wonderful young masculine card. I do love this image it's bright and cheery and that rope frame for the sentiment is totally perfect. Great card and thanks so much for sharing it with us over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge and good luck.
