DARING CARDMAKERS - TARTAN IT UP

Hi everyone, hope all is well in Blogland, and you are enjoying your week so far! I have two posts today, and my first card is for Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Tartan it up! - use some sort of Tartan on your cards! I have used a stamp from Joanna Sheen's Lofty & Co. Collection which is perfect for this Challenge, and this stamp is called "Scottish Lofty", and he has been coloured with a combo of Art-Kure WC Brushes and Sakura Gel Pens. The image has been cut with a round nesty, and layered on black card. A piece of white pearlescent card has been run through a Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" Embossing Folder for the top half of the card. The backing paper is a red tartan from Kameo Cards, and to finish the card off - a stamped sentiment, a strip of black tartan ribbon and some little black buttons - all from my craft stash.

CUTIE SUNDAY CHALLENGE NO. 60

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Firstly I would like to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to all my blogging buddies who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday! I had a lovely day, and got lots of lovely goodies and cards. I had all good intentions of spending a good few hours blog hopping around, and suddenly I had NO internet! That was out for the rest of the day but now it's back, so hopefully I can get a bit done today! So, down to business.... My first card for today is for Cutie Sunday Challenge No. 60 - a Sketch. I have used a stamp from Joanna Sheen's Lofty & Co. Collection called "Driving Test Lofty", and this has been coloured with Sakura Gel Pens. The image has been cut with an Oval nesty, and layered on Blue card. The backing paper is from a Basic Grey paper pad called Granola. I chose this paper because I thought the pattern looked like "tyre tracks". The card has been finished off with a stamped sentiment cut with a Tag nesty, some cream ribbon, and some buttons from my craft stash.

THE SECRET CRAFTER SATURDAY CHALLENGE NO. 49

Yipee, it's Friday, can't wait for the weekend. Hope you are all well, and looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. I have two posts today, and will start off with a card for The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge No. 49 - Teenage Boys. I have used a stamp from Joanna Sheens Lofty & Co. Collection called "Techy Lofty", as I thought teenage boys do like their technology! The image has been coloured with a combo of Art-Kure WC brushes, and Sakura Gel Pens, and then trimmed down and layered on blue and red card. The backing paper is from a Basic Grey paper pad called Marrakesh, and to finish the card - a stamped sentiment, some gem brads, and some blue gems - all from my craft stash.
