For the Guys

Hi there!

Just popping by to say enter the challenge going on at the Come and Get it Challenge Blog. The theme this week is For the Guys.

My card  for the Design Team is made using Bugaboo Stamps Scruffy Puppy Feet. I've made it into a Father's Day card for my dad and is based on one of his dogs.

Ingredients:

6x6 scollaped edged card

Green craft paper 

Hunkydory adorable scorable card

Die cut greeting

Thanks for looking

Frame it right

A few weeks ago my mother-in-law presented me with a sheet of A4 shiny green card.  It had been in her craft box for ages but she couldn't find a use for it.  I've been wondering what to do with it for a while and when I was on the train last night I had a really strange idea, I would try to make a frame out of it. So when I got home I got out my trusty crafters companion ultimate pro and boxer board.  I didn't want to create the same old square box type frame so I made the sides triangular.   I was really pleased with the effect that it created so I decorated it with some gold effect peel offs and used it to frame a Lacy Sunshine image (Constance Cherish Wings) I coloured a few weeks ago.   To make it stand up I used a Tim Holtz easel die from my collection. 

Promarkers used:

Skin tones: apricot, saffron, vanilla and blush

Lips purple gel 

Hair: colour: burnt umber, terracotta, and chestnut.

Dress: plum, amethyst and lilac.

Cat: ice grey 1,2 and 3

My new crafty passion.

Since a Facebook friend introduced me to Letraset Promarkers I have been addicted to colouring digital images. With so many wonderful and talented designers and artists out there I am never stuck for inspiration.   Amongst my most favourite designers is artist Heather Valentin of Lacy Sunshine Stamps http://lacysunshine.weebly.com.  

This is the first hand coloured card to feature on my blog.  I used one of Heather's stamps 'Abigail Lil Angel Cherished Wings'.  I had no real plan in mind when I made this card other than to use purple.

 

I used the following:

Promarkers 

Skin tones: apricot, saffron, vanilla and blush.

Hair colour: burnt umber, terracotta, and chestnut.

Dress: plum, amethyst and lilac.

Card: 

Centura pearl lilac card.

Embossing folder: 

free from a craft magazine.

Sentiment Stamp:

Clearly Besotted stamps
