A Furry Friend!

It's time for a new challenge at Cardz for Galz. The theme is "Furry Friends"  I have made a fairly simple card. I found the 6x6 paper while i was looking for something suitable to use and rather liked the way it provided a frame.

The stamp is from a Kanban set bought a long time ago from QVC!. I thought the car looked a little haughty which is why I used this particular sentiment, which carries on  inside the card.

Do check out what the rest of the  DT have made.

For this card I used a Little Claire stamp that I got when they used to do monthly kits. I used watercolour pencils to colour it in, then mounted it on black then onto a cream DL card blank.

I hope you'll be able to join in this month.

Jungle Fun!

This week at Cardz for Guyz we have a sketch for you.
I cut out three circles from a panel of white card. Then I stamped the animals on some scraps of white, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them. Fussy being the right word for the monkey!

I popped the three animals behind the holes and stamped some leaves to break up all the white. The stamp set was a magazine freebie some time ago and had sat uninked in my box of NBUS stash! The sentiment is from Uniko.

As always there is lots of inspirattion for you on the challenge blog.

Messy card for a Teen!

The new challenge at Make My Monday is to use a messy background. Now I always think they look great when other people do them, but I'm never so sure about mine! Anyway I had a rummage through my box to see if I had anything ready made and found the last piece of a Brushos background created at the HLS retreat back in November.Having found it I then had to think of something to do with it! I decided a large sentiment was the way to go and dcided to emboss it with  a metallic green embossing powder. Needless to say it was a disaster - I just couldn't get a decent image. Back to the drawing board.
So I mounted it on to orange then cut a band of the same orange to cover up the disastrous embossing, stamped the sentiment in black, fortunately using the Misti as I had to stamp it three times before getting a clear print. Some enamel dots finished it off and it went on its way to Roy's great-nephew who has just turned thirteen!

Floral Thank you.

The new challenge at Cardz for Galz is "Rubber Stamping" lots of choice there for you.

I have chosen to make a one layer card using a NBUS Uniko stamp set.I coloured the flowers in with watercolour pencils. The card is textured so it has a nice finish to it.

Make sure you check out all the inspiration on the challenge blog.

Something beginning with L

Hi and welcome back to a new challenge at Cardz for Guyz, where this time we want to see something beginning with L. I discarded the obvious like lamb and lion and went for light bulb instead!
I found some nice yellow spotty paper to use as a background - I really need to use up some of the huge amount of papers I have. Then I matted everything on to black. The stamp set is from a Simon Says Stamp monthly kit.

Going round in Circles!

That sounds like me at the moment! I thought I had got most of my DT cards organised for the next few weeks, but I had completely forgotten this one! So it has been made in a bit of a hurry for the challenge at Make My Monday.

I die cut a circle out of the middle of a scrap of white card and backed it with another snippet of yellow. The sentiment was stamped using my trusty Misti, it is a very old SU stamp. The finishing touches were some brightly colored enamel dots.

I decided to use another NBUS item or two! The patterned stockings are stamped then diecut with the toe,heel and top added on top. The middle stocking I just die cut so I could add my heart.

The background expression is a Creative Expressions folder Twisted Holly. Im afraid I still haven't got back into my house so the photos have been taken on the kitchen worktop which is not the best background.

Cardz for Galz - Think Pink!

I'm delighted to say that I am now a Cardz for Galz Design Team member. This is my first card for them.
 I liked the blue card I made HERE so much that I decided to make a pink one as well. But I did pretty it up a bit with some flowers and pearls.The stamps are from Uniko and the flowers are ancient from my stash. When I first started cardmaking I must have acquired quite a lot and have rarely used them. Dont forget to check out the rest of the DT's makes.

Happy Little Stampers - Watercolour Challenge

 Gosh here we are in February already! And it's time for a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.

 Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!


And I'm delighted to say that I have found my Brushos -yay! So I had a play with them and used some scarlet and purple on watercolour card. My original idea was to use it as a background but it evolved into a diecut heart instead! The die is a Tim Holtz set - Scribbles and Splat!

I mounted it on a panel cut with a Penny Black die and inked round the edges with Distress Oxides. The sentiment is from Uniko.

Once again there is lots of fabulous inspiration from my fellow DT members.
