One for the boys @ I Love Promarkers

Yup, we have a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers, and our optional theme for this one is - for the boys. We are sponsored by the lovely Dr Digi'sHouse Of Stamps    , but I chose something a little different - Cuddly Critters Walrus - for my creation. I also decided to try something a little different.

I used Blue Pearl, Lilac and Cornflower for the image and layered it onto a blue tie-dye effect background panel after fussy cutting. I added a B sticker and some scrapbook sentiments and then made this up into an artists easel card. Finally I used an 18 key for the title panel.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Polkadoodle wk21 Male themed

AYLI - His or hers - I find cards for him more difficult, however they do lend themselves to having a bit of a play around and creating something much more unique

Also just a dino update for those of you interested :)

Can't wait to see what you create,

Colour Flourish

Hi guys,

I have a quick card to share with you this evening:

I made the card base from cream card and firstly added a blue sentiment. Unfortunately parts of the sentiment did not stamp properly - but I will say I intended a distressed effect haha. I then used a red leaf flourish and added a couple of die-cut blue flowers and a blue felt bird. Finally I had a souffle (from Popcorn and friends) that I had printed out and sitting in my stash, so I fussy cut him and sat him on a branch with his letter for the little blue bird (when it decides to look).

I used the colours in this inspiration photo from ColorDare:

Monochrome @ MAWTT

Hiya everybody,

Our new challenge over at MAWTT is Monochrome, set by the lovely Penny. I have made a fantasy card using dies that I haven't used as yet!

Sorry about the lousy picture - my camera is playing up so I have had to use my phone and the lighting was pretty poor. I will try harder next time!! The unicorn is an intricut die from Hobbycraft and was cut on X-cut self-adhesive vellum. The others were a free gift in a magazine cut on Papermania collection paper, with glitter dots on it, for a little bit of magical sparkle.

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

craftingbydesigns - Feature a Creature

AYLI - His or Hers - I find cards for her much easier to make - and I have more in my stash that is suited to girl cards lol

Animal Friends #74 Horse or Unicorn

SimplyCreateToo #149 Anything Goes

We can't wait to see your monochromatic creations,

Pop-out Flowers

Hi there,

I have a CAS masculine and floral creation to share with you today!

So I used double sided paper with a masculine pattern. I die-cut a fancy square from a Marianne Creatables set and then folded the corners in on themselves, and then back out to make an exploding box shape. I then die-cut a flower from the same set and used the back of the paper to stand out against the green check. I placed this into the centre of the exploding box used glue dots. Finally I die-cut the sentiment using First Edition Tag dies. I backed the empty letter area with double sided tape and sprinkled gold glitter into them, before placing on the top of the card base.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

The Paper Players #442 CAS plants

Allsorts - Happy Birthday

The Male Room #111 Origami

CCM #234 Birthdays

Summer @ Aud Sentiments

Yep we are celebration summer with our new challenge over at Aud Sentiments - we are starting to feel that it is just round the corner now :) I am loving my blue tit nest personally!

Our sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Nest Dolls

and I have used Sunshine Ellie  for my creation:

I used a bright summery patterned base card (6x4") for this one. the image was coloured with Promarkers and then fussy cut before placing onto a gold mirri card, which was also fussy cut. I added her to the top right of the card so that the flower on the left stayed intact. I then added diamantes to the flower. Finally I added a summery sentiment, simply saying 'Best' so that the postcard can be used for any occasion - best friend, best wishes, best of luck etc.

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

notjustcards - Anything Goes

CCM #233 Three-Two-One (Three flower layers - Two layers for the image - One sentiment)

SOS #395 May Flowers

PFP #493 Summer is coming

Double the mowing power

Hi everybody,

Time to share my new cards with you - made for the current Twofer challenge:

I used a decoupage Country Companions set alongside the lawnmower stamp for the first card, and then just the lawnmower and sentiment on the Kraft card.

 This one has a much more feminine feel to it.
I want to add this card into the adventure challenge at inkspirational.

And this one is very masculine. This one is also perfect for the CAS challenge at MTTC.

And here is Teddy come out to say hello,

 And some of the stick insects too!

Thanks for looking,
