High Hopes #37

I just recently received my very first High hope stamps, a couple of xmas ones and a Daniel... i had a craft day with a friend yesterday and wasted no time in inking them up...

well today i wondered if high hopes had a challenge blog, and they do, so i hopped on over only to find this weeks theme is

Stars or Stripes...

Perfect! one of the cards i made yesterday i had used striped paper on.. talk about sixth sense lol anyways enough of my rambling.. here is my card..

The papers are BG and i used my slice to create the wording, i coloured Daniel with copics and added a small metal book plate and paper ticket to finish. To be honest i wasn't sure how else to embellish it being a mans card so i left it fairly plain!

Question: Other than buttons and possibly artful collage flowers what are your top male embellishments ??

Thanks for hopping by, come back soon x

A Spoon Full of Sugar #56

Over at ASFOS this is the super sketch by Michelle to follow

And this is what i did with it...

As you can see its another fathers day card,

This time i used my one & only cute boy Simon stamp coloured again with copics.

I used BG papers, bazzil card, green stuff {i have no idea the name of this stuff so if you know please tell me!} and cream ric rac, topped with mini bottle top letters .

I finished with an assortment of coin embellishments.

Sketch Saturday #51

Found this weeks fab sketch over at SS and knew i had the perfect idea of what i was going to do.... my very first xmas card... i know.. i know.. but i'm so trying to be good this year and get a head start!

I got a great globe stamp at ally pally well over a year ago and had just not got around to trying it, and when i saw the circle in the sketch i just knew it would be ideal.

anyway enought of my waffle... here is my card...

There is actually wording in the top right corner saying "for you, with love" but it didn't photograph very well, i used versamark and mica powders.

..

Materials used:
Basic Grey wassail papers
Fiskers lace punch ,Real lace
SN Gorjuss girl, Rubbernecker globe, Tanda xmas adornment stamps, Whimsy words.
Copics, Liquid pearls, Versamark, Mica powders.

CCC #10

While checking out a new friends blog i found a link to a challenge blog that she's a DT member of.

Its called Creative Card Crew

This week the theme is MINIMAL

Now usually that's so not me but i thought i'd give it a try... i was working on a card and decided it would be the perfect candidate as whats more minimal than a card you cant really see!

I'm talking acetate.. i've wanted to try a clear card for a while as the ones i keep seeing on peeps blogs look so awesome.

I used my ever so cute TGF Deer stamp, coloured with copics and promarkers.

I cut the trees out freehand from BG paper, also making sure i did double so the back looks as good as the front..guess i should of taken a pic of that too.. note to self for next time!

The trunks are cut from a wood effect paper i had, and i put grass effect DCWV paper on the inside and back. I finished with the little sentiment "Deer Friend" also a TGF stamp which was stamped direct to the front panel in timber brown stazon ink.

I defiantly think i'll be making more of these clear cards, they rock!

Thanks for stopping by
