Fantasy

Hi everyone.  This is a card I made using a beautiful image by Hannah Lynn Art.  I coloured her with Polychromos pencils.

I normally do more layers on my cards, but I loved this image and also the patterned background paper by Crafter's Companion, so I decided to keep this simple. I layered my image onto glitter card and black card, with the patterned paper forming the background behind.  The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz Ideaology pad.

Cardz 4 Guyz: Planes, Trains and/or Automobiles

Good morning!  It's time for Cards 4 Guyz' first challenge of the New Year.  This week's challenge is Planes, Trains and/or automobiles (you can choose).

For my card, I used a rubber stamp by Deep Red, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils.  I layered my image onto pattered papers and an embossed panel made using a Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder, then added some metal cogs to finish it off.

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

The Alphabet Challenge: U is for Use some Stitching

Good morning and Happy New Year!  I am really excited today to be joining the design team for The Alphabet Challenge blog  .

This week's letter is U, which is for Use some stitching.  The stitching on your card can be real or faux.  I decided to hand stitch my card for this challenge.  I used a cute image by LeAnn's World for this card, which I coloured using Prismacolor pencils.  I die cut a circle around my image and hand stitched around the edges.  I layered my image onto patterned papers and also hand stitched the edges of each paper that I used.  This took me absolutely ages, but it's a technique I love because I always like the way my finished card looks. 

I finished off my card with a ribbon bow and some die cut flourishes.

I hope you can join in this week's Alphabet Challenge.

Cardz 4 Guyz: New Year, New Beginnings

Good morning.  This week's challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz is New Year, New Beginnings.  I decided to go for a bit of a silly one for this.  I thought this image by Dr Digi would be perfect!

I coloured him with Prismacolor pencils and layered him onto patterned papers.  I added a printed sentiment and kept the embellishments simple with a couple of buttons.  I added a bit of sparkle to the umbrella because we all need a bit of sparkle on New Year's Eve!

I hope you can join in the fun this week at Cardz 4 Guyz.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree

Cardz 4 Guyz: Triangles

Good morning.  After a few months off, I am back to creating things for the Cardz 4 Guyz design team.  This
week's theme is triangles.

For my DT card, I decided to use some old Paperartsy stamps that I've had for a few years.  I stamped them onto patterned papers and stuck them onto kraft card, then matted and layered onto more patterned papers. 

Some nice simple cards to get me back into the swing of things!

I look forward to seeing everyone's creations this week at Cardz 4 Guyz.
