"life" has got in the way of me entering the last couple of challenges, and as it's my brother-in-law's birthday at the weekend (and as I've been late with other birthday cards so far this year!) I was determined to combine the two.
I have however, had trouble scanning this one (tried taking a photo too, that was also unsuccessful) due to it being quite light.
It's also not quite as "dirty" looking as it seems - the edges of the card are coloured with bundled sage; which I've used with tumbled glass to stamp the image. The card scrap I stamped the image on is also edged with tumbled glass. The stamp I used is a Magenta one, (some of my favourites) and I stamped a second image and cut the corner and middle squares to add some dimension. The text is a Wendy Vecchi one, I wanted something small (I have lots of large greetings but not many small ones.... excuse for shopping, me thinks!) and I edged this too in the same inks.
I am fairly safe in posting this now as I don't believe Graeme reads my blog so it won't spoil the surprise.

I'm sure he will love your card Helen. You had same problem as me, with it being light colours they don't photograph too well do they. Great card. Tracy Evans x x
