Cardz 4 Guyz: Teddy Bears

Good morning.  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.  This week's challenge is teddy bears, which I thought was a great excuse to use one of my favourite James Bear stamps by Lilif to the Valley.

I coloured my image with Prismacolor pencils and layered it onto patterned papers.

i hope you can join us this week at Cardz 4 Guyz.

The Alphabet Challenge: U is for Use Washi Tape

Hi all.  Sorry, I'm very late again uploading my DT card for The Alphabet Challenge.  I have a lot going on in my life at the moment, which is making it difficult to find time and space to craft.  This week's letter is U, and the Challenge is Use Washi Tape.

I used a Lili of the Valley digi image for my card, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils.  I layered my image onto patterned papers and added a washi tape bow to finish it off.

I hope you can join us this week at The Alphabet Challenge.

Cardz 4 Guyz: Man Cave

Good morning.  This week's challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz is "Man Cave".  Your card must feature something that men do in a shed.  I've chosen a DIY theme for my card.

The image I've used is a digi stamp by Lili of the Valley, and I've coloured it with Prismacolor pencils.

I coloured my image with Prismacolor pencils and layered it onto pattterned papers.  I added the sentiment on Kraft card ans some bronze coloured pearls to look like rivets.

I hope you can join us for this week's challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.

Cardz 4 Guyz: Something beginning with T

Good morning.  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.  Today's challenge is to make a card using something beginning with T.  My 'T' is a teenager, and I've created my card using a digital image by Lili of the Valley, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz Ideaology book and reads "the sarcasm is strong in this one".  I think I'm going to give this card to one of my sons for their next birthday.  I haven't decided which one yet as they're both very sarcastic.  I don't know where they get it from!

I hope you can join us for this week's challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.

Cardz 4 Guyz: Music

Hi everyone!  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, and this week's challenge is music.

The stamp I've used on my card is by Lili of the Valley, and I coloured it with Prismacolor pencils.  I still can't decide which pencils I like best.

I created the background with Distress Oxides and water, and added some die cut notes and lots of little stars.  The stars were from The Works and came in little glass bottles.  I had to glue them all on individually, which was quite fiddly and time consuming!

I hope you can join us at Cardz 4 Guyz this week.

Cardz 4 Galz: Welcome Little Baby

Good morning!   Today's challenge at Cardz 4 Galz  is to make a baby card.  Obviously, this being Cardz 4 Galz it needs to be for a baby girl.

I used a cute stamp by Lili of the Valley for this card, which I stamped in grey ink so it wouldn't stand out too much against the pastel colours of the card.

I stamped my image onto a die cut circle and coloured it with Polychromos pencils.  Then I mounted it onto a pink fancy circle die cut.  I layered the mounted image onto coordinating patterned papers and added some baby buttons and a ribbon to embellish it.

I hope you can join our challenge this week at Cardz 4 Galz.

Make My Monday: A Winter's Walk

Good morning.  It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday, and this week's theme is "A Winter's Walk".  I though this would be a great opportunity to use this cute James Bear stamp by Lili of the Valley.  I stamped him in grey ink and coloured him using Polychromos pencils, then hand stitched around the edges and layered him onto white card.

For the background of this card, I used pearlescent blue card and a die cut snowflake background, which I glittered using Stickles glitter glue.  I also die cut the branches and added some gems and pearls to some of the berries to make them stand out.  Normally I like to glitter my snowy scenes, but I thought this card was sparkly enough already, so I left James as he was.  I hope you like him.
