Handmade by Tillymint: Little boys...

Little boys...

When I chose the checked paper for this card I decided it would also look really cute paper pieced on the shirt. The digiscrap papers are from a Stuff to Scrap blog train called 'Sunny Daffodils'. The image is from the beautiful 'Swings and slides' collection by Pollycraft. The blue has been embossed with the Swiss Dots folder by Cuttlebug and the buttons were removed from a really old shirt of my husbands!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Stamptacular Sunday- fun in the sun
Papertake Weekly- Here comes the sun
I love Promarkers- anything goes
Stampin' for the weekend- My favourite things (checked DPs, this layout, paper piecing)
Daring cardmakers- Old, New (borrowed and blue) (The buttons must be 20 years old! The image is new. Lots of blue. Couldn't get borrowed in.)
