Robin Hood - 'One for the Boys'

Good Evening all,
Hope every one of you had a good weekend. I had a wonderful birthday and received loads of gorgeous handmade cards which I am very grateful for, they will definately stay on display for a long time.
Anyway thought I 'd share with you my latest Magnolia card. I love this image of Edwin dressed as Robin Hood and I couldn't wait to ink him up so here is the result. I kept the card kinda simple as obviously flowers weren't really suitable so I opted for some ferns, raffia and pearls. I also used the new Tim Holtz alphabet Sizzlits die to add the 'wanted' sign. Inside the card reads 'A Special Birthday for a Special Boy'. I am entering him in the following challenges:
Magnolia Down Under Challenge #57 - Birthdays
Ooh-la-la Challenge #59 - Birthday
Sweet Stampin Challenge #37 Sketch
Allsorts Challenge #63 Dressing Up (Edwin clearly loves to play dress up!)
Passion for ProMarkers #62 Colour Challenge 'Green'

ProMarker Colour Recipe:

Skin: Blush, Dusky Pink

Hair, Bow & Tights: Sandstone, Cinnamon
Tunic & Hat: Pear Green, Moss

Belt & Shoes: Cinnamon, Shale


Thanks for taking a look, also don't forget to enter my draw for my big birthday candy while you here.


Hugs


Clare
