Digi stamp 4 joy challege #86

Today is the half way mark at our current challenge at Digi Stamps 4 Joy. This is my DT card for the theme use paper punches and dies. Well i throw every thing but the kitchen sink. More is more in this case.I also i tried to make the card look vintage by using destress inks. I am very happy with how the colored image looks but not sure if i like the grungy edges.This card is for my baby brother Philip. He has just got engaged to the lovely Amy. They are both nearly 30 and meet at school.They split up when they left college and went off to university. They bumped back into each other 4 years ago and it was like they had never been a part. I am a happy big sister Amy makes Philip very happy.

The sun is shinning here on the south cost today. Mr Oscar needs a walk. We still can not go down onto the beach and it is still covered in debris from the storms. There is also some white fatty substance that the council are testing they think it may be palm oil and this can be very harmful to dogs. Crafty hugs Julie Annx
