This is my first DT card ever!!!

I used the 'My Guy Ian' image from Greetings Farm, coloured with Promarkers, and some fab free download papers from Summertime Designs called 'Freedom Ain't Free'. As you can see, I used the stitched check and the fine stripe papers and one of my fave layouts of 3 panels across the card. This is, yet again, an easel card- I love this style and it really solves my dilemas over where to put the sentiment! My 3 embellishments are the 3 silver star brads.
The sentiment is made with the great clear sets from Elzybells. I set out all the little stamps face down on my craftmat then carefully lifted out the word 'greatest'. I put my block on top to pick up the other stamps without moving them and stamped them in red. I put the remaining stamp on another block and inked it in blue before positioning it through the clear stamp.
Another thing that I keep reaching for at the moment is my Sizzlet corner die! This time I used the plain corner and added faux stitching with a white gel pen to tie in with the stitching detail on the paper.
