Those pesky nephews ....

.... keep getting older!! Yep, it's time for another teenage nephew card, I dread them!!!!  Started it at a crop yesterday, I did a lot more talking than crafting (also drank a lot of tea and coffee and ate a lot of sparkly cupcakes made by my baking crafting friend Liz!!).  Here's the finished article:

I used the sketch on this fortnight's Basic Grey Challenges, making it a more "boy-ie" version with stars instead of flowers.  I've used BG Archaic papers and stickers. 

I'm also entering this in this week's Creative Inspirations challenge, which is to use the colours green, brown and blue.

The numbers I made by cutting out chipboard, painting with Crackle Paint and then inking with Distress Inks.  Here's a little close-up - I love the crackle effect:

Recipe:

Papers: Basic Grey Archaic

Font: City Burn Night after Night

Other: Tim Holtz Crackle Paint and Distress Inks, eyelets and needle and thread

My craftroom is almost finished - the storage unit is done, walls all painted, we made up the Expedit unit today (eeeeeeek - claps hands, jumps about a bit!!!!) and moved the desk back up.  I have to do a template for some words on the wall and paint it, and move all my stuff back in and that's it.  Will post a few before and after pics when it's all done.

Thanks for looking!
