a few challenges....





today I have decided to combine Theme Thursday's Pink and brown challenge with LIMs sketch challenge, finally going for the bottom right corner (my white space is brown).
I've also took a risk and entered this for one layer Wednesday's Fathers day challenge. Lots of people seem to think that fathers day cards have to be "masculine" but fathers of little girls get used to a lot of pink, and I think this card would be appreciated by the father of a little girl.

The stamp is a gorjuss girl that was a free subscription gift for Craft Stamper magazine and age ago. I've gone for my favourite pencil colouring on kraft card, I think the kraft helps to make it just a touch more masculine.... maybe
