SuperHeroes - those that help

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of 'Super Heroes'. This will run for a month for the summer holidays. The sponsor for this challenge is the fatastic Dr Digi House of Stamps.

I coloured the image using Promarker pens - you can use any markers on your design!

I then created a matt with blue pearlescent card. I added a green pearlescent card and some circles to the card front, and finished with a 3D sentiment panel.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Use a die-cut

 Hey guys,

We have a new challenge started over at Creative Moments, and our optional theme is to use a die-cut, and our sponsor is All Dressed Up.

Here is my creation:


I coloured the image with Promarkers and then die-cut using an x-cut scalloped circle. I also cut an x-cut ornate label from red card and added a peel-off sentiment. I made an easel base card and added this panel to that. To finish I added flat backed pearls and washi tape.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for looking,

Masculine

 We are in July already and our new challenge at MAWTT is make something Masculine. I decided to create some backgrounds using masking as I haven't done this in a while.

I made a selection of cards based on the same theme, but for different occasions. I used a background stamp () for the main image, and the background pattern on some of the cards. I simply stamped this in purple ink. Once this had dried on the white card, I used xxx in various neon colours and blended them together to make the background, using a mask of the birdhouse. I then coloured the birdhouse itself, with the same ink, using the reverse mask. I mounted all of the images on a plain sky blue layer before adding to the base cards.

For this card I simply matted my layer onto a square of purple pearlescent card and added a peel-off sentiment to finish.

This time I used the background stamp to make a bottom border along the card. I used the sentiment stamp and purple ink to create a sentiment patterned paper to add my layer to. Finally I added circles to create a pattern in the bottom corner.

For this card I added the sentiment in black ink, underneath a plain coloured matt on the base card. I tore a strip of cream paper to matt my layer onto. Finally I added some mini bows to the bottom of the matt.

For the final card I used a purple pearlescent base card and stamped the full background over this. I then added the torn layer, as per the previous card. The sentiment was again stamped in black ink.

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
