Ouch!

Nicholas broke a bone in his thumb in March playing football! But it did mean that he would be out of football for quite a few weeks as he is a goal keeper!!  Sharon did very well and got a photo of the x-ray at the hospital!! LOL

 

I started with the sketch - 377 at Sketches in Thyme but my cut file was different but had lots of circles!!

EXPO card

The challenge at UnstampaBelles is Stained Glass Techniques using Dies. I wasn't too sure about this so followed one of the DT's Susan and went with peel offs!  I stuck the peel offs to vellum and colored the back and then mounted on white card before matting on the yellow!
