Monochrome

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. Today starts the new weekly

challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. Sharon has chosen the theme which is

Monochrome

Please take a look at the wonderful inspirational cards from the DT.

For my card, I chose my favourite colour which is orange.

I was inspired by a card I saw from Splitcoasters via Pinterest.

I blended several tones of orange on a 6" sq card.

The moon mask is from a Woodware punch.

The stamps I used are from Stampscapes - Nature Set #6

The Lakeside Cabin, the rocks and the grasses.

The sentiment is from Hobbyart.

Have fun, I look forward to visiting you. 

The Great Outdoors

Cards for Men last Monday challenged us with The Great Outdoors, I recently made this card, for a demo and thought it would be suitable for this challenge. I used a brayer and the Waterfall Big n Juicy pad for the background. I used stamps from Stampscape, the birds are from Inkylicious. Thanks for this challenge.

Give me the Moonlight

There is no doubt about it here in the UK Barbara Grey is the guru when it comes to brayering. I have so tried and failed since she inspired me to buy a brayer. Everyone has their own ways and techniques in using a brayer and sadly  I must admit I couldn't work it, as instructed by Barbara. Yesterday I had a revelation. I attended a Ross Papercraft Show at Nissan Social Club, where I was mesmerized by the lady demonstrating brayering on the
 B & J Crafts stand. I of course had to try, what I thought,was a simpler method of using the brayer. Many will say there is only one way, but believe me, the way you feel comfortable, and even start to feel confident is right for you. So a huge thank you to the lady for increasing my confidence.The stamps I used are from Stampscapes Nature Set 6, and  their eclipsed moon. The bull rushes are from a  set by a friend Barry of BarjanB stamps. I am entering this card, my third new attempt with the brayer for the Moonlight # 3 challenge at  Craft a Scene Challenges.
