Head down, bum up

I've been working on a card based on a sketch that I can't reveal until next month and have been struggling with it. Sad really, after getting on with scrapping of late, it feels as if my card mojo has gone awol! Not great timing as I need a 60th birthday card to give to my mum's husband for his party today! So much for a resolution of getting things organised and no more last minute Charlie. I have been staring at this secret card for too long. I should probably put it away and begin something fresh but the deadline is Sunday and I want it photographed before that. (I had being late!)

 

 

Here is what I managed to churn out for my step-dad. I am totally love the 'pigs arse' card I made. It is my step-dad's 'catch cry' so he was quite amused with the card... (Always a bonus when giving a male a card and usually my aim to get a giggle out of them.) I made the pig (on the card front) using the same punches etc. (except the sweet treats cup) as my make at home mini punch art kit.
