So many people are saying about how much postage costs are I have made quite a few cards just recently that are relatively flat and of course I try not to go OTT on men cards with thick embellies anyway!
The papers are as old as Methuselah and I just found them at the bottom of yet another paper stack whilst looking for something else, so here we are in March and I am continuing with the promise to myself to use up papers and not buy any more.
Basic layout and just chopped up the papers into large squares for layering.
Used pastel chalks on the pic which is of course from LOTV. (I resisted the temptation to add a few 'z's abpve his head!)
The sentiment was a freebie from TLC and I changed the font colour to blue to match the colour scheme. Think it fits perfectly with this image cos dozing off in the sunshine under the shade of a leafy tree is joy indeed!
It's been a lovely day here - getting spoilt cos that's 3 nice days on the trot - maybe spring is on it's way finally?
Hope the weather has been kind to you wherever you are - thanks for visiting! x

Love the papers you have used for this card Viv - have the stamp but goodness knows where. (Not doing as well as you re using up papers - bought some gorgeous Mindy Terasawa First Edition papers at the Make It Show at the week-end. Saw them in the morning but weakened by the end of the day as I just couldn't go home without them....) X
