Boys will be boys!

I sadly have to admit , when I was younger it wouldn't only have been the boys climbing and swinging on rope swings in the trees in the woodlands near where I grew up, that and messing with car engines.

My card I made not really with anyone in mind but as we have so many boys in our family I'm sure it will come in useful at some point and I just love this Lili of the valley image it just has so much life.

The colour scheme is for the challenge over at colour create, chocolate, cream, aqua and khaki with an added option of circles. I can't believe my khaki promarker is on it's last legs, I bought it as part of the second set and all the others seem to be ok and I haven't used it more than the others but it really is strugling so if anyone has any suggestions as to how to revive it please share with me won't you. The edges of my cream card ( sadly on the photo my cream looks yellow, even the promarker which is buttermilk) are just about coloured in it as are my boys shorts and the birthday badge and faux buttons. It didn't help the colour much when I added diamond glaze they seemed to fade to a beige colour rather than khaki but still, I think they look ok.

The layout is for magical crafts fornightly challenge on the sketch there are swirls in the corners that I have left blank. I did try embossed swirls, I also tried piercing swirls and stitching swirls and decided the card looked better without any of the options so sorry but my corners are plain.
The papers are forever friend from the boys collection and the gems from my stash. The faux buttons were a free digi, I think pollycraft but not 100% certain so apologies if I'm wrong.

I coloured my image with promarkers and the background is just chalks.
