We've had many pets over the years, but one that Geoff has always held out against is a donkey :(. I think a donkey would look perfect alongside my Norwegian Fjord horse (and of course the Welsh pony) but hey, sometimes you can't get everything in life! So of course I fell for the donkey image on the new Joann Sheen DVD by Glynn Williams and had to make a card with it! There are special decoupage images on the CD but I simply printed out 3 times and made my own decoupage. I followed the sketch at Pear Tree Designs, adding a leaf border cut with my new MS punch that I bought at the NEC. The sentiment is a Personal Impressions stamp, DP is Papermania and I used my first ever MS punch to make a scalloped border underneath, I think it's called Baroque and it doesn't have the markings to line up that are on the current punches. A piece of raffia and some green gems finished it off, hope you like my donkey card.
My card is for the following challenges:
Pear Tree Designs - sketch
Cards for Men - animals, I've kept it un-fussy and used raffia not a ribbon bow so it can be a man card
CD Sunday Challenge - the natural world
Craft Your Passion - 2 of anything (2 donkeys)
Lexi's Creations - anything goes
Crazy4Challenges - square cards
Raise the Bar - scallops and curves
Stamp Insanity -punch drunk - used 2 border punches
This is such a beautiful image and you have done it justice with your card.

Think I might have to side with Geoff on this one, cute card, but don't want a real one. Love how you decoupaged it really cool.
ReplyDeleteAnne - this is really lovely - the image of the donkey's is fab - and I agree - they would go really well with your other horses. Have to work on it!!
