Split Complimentary colours

Welcome to the fifth and final week of the Make My Monday colour wheel challenges.  This week we're focusing on a trio of colours known as SPLIT COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS.

 Split complimentary colours are fun to play with.  You start with one colour, find its compliment and instead of using the compliment, use the two colours beside the compliment.  Mynnette has chosen the split complimentary colour scheme of fuscia, green, and yellow for you to create with this week.  White and cream are your acceptable neutrals again! You may stamp lined images and sentiments in either black or brown, but solid images should be stamped in fuscia, green, and/or yellow.

We at Make My Monday, have come to the last of Mynnette's colour challenges, I haven't found these challenges to be easy, but I have greatly enjoyed them. Some challenges are more challenging than others, but those are the ones I learn something from, so thanks Mynnette, for taking me out of my comfort zone, it has been fun. This the last week has been even more challenging, however, once I popped onto Less Is More and saw their Sketch theme for this week I knew immediately how to use the colours. I am also entering this card into the Less Is More challenge, please note the above girls, not my normal colours, but different and fun to do. 
I would like to say a personal farewell to Suzanne B who has recently left the DT team, you will be missed but I am happy to know we will be meeting each other around blogland. 
We, Jacqueline the owner and the DT have decided to take the month of August as a Summer recess. This current challenge will last until we return, all entries will be commented upon and the winners will be announced on our return 6th September. I do hope we in the UK have a better remaining summer with some sun. Sorry this entry is so long, so much to say.

Mainly for Men at CD Challenges

This week at CD Sunday Challenges it is the turn for Wendy P's choice of theme and she has chosen Mainly For men. A card for a man or about men. I choose an image from Marie G Designs International CD - Just 4 Men,  which I purchased a few years ago on E Bay. I coloured the main card with Vintage Photo DI,  and stamped with a Travel set of stamps from Debbie Moore. I look forward to visiting your blogs once again, for you ladies always have some stunning and imaginative cards to view.

Please do pop over to the main blog for the Design Team have created some fabulous inspirational cards. Remember you need only use one small element from a CD or you can create a complete card from a CD.

Mainly Men

We are up to the letter M already at the Alphabet Challenge, the choice for the next two weeks is Men, a card with a Man or for a Man. Over the past few weeks for my class I have been making a number of distressed cards with some men, so felt maybe it was time to have a change. how more different with a Flippen Men decoupage sheet from La Pashe, I do find this series of Men to be very useful. I realise not everyone's cup of tea, it is an acquired taste,  here is my Fisherman. The background was originally a piece of copy paper, coloured with Starburst Stains from The Stampman. I then stamped some images from the Flippen Men set and from a BarjanB set of country stamps. I loved your Lace cards last fortnight everyone, and am again looking forward to seeing your men's cards. Some do say the most difficult to make, but we know you ladies (and any crafting guys out there) come on you can do it.

Distressed Steampunk

Time for the guys to be distressed in a Steampunk setting. I am entering this card into two challenges.
Over at That Craft Place held on Sundays - for Steampunk and at Allsorts a Saturday challenge with Distressing as their theme. Thanks to both for great inspirational cards and  interesting challenges.

Old book pages cover the main card and were coloured with Vintage Photo DI. A white piece of card was coloured with several Distress Inks, splattered with Cosmic Shimmer red spray, The background stamps are from a Creative Expressions set - Flight - the men in black are from Tim Holtz , the other gentleman is from Kanban - Jasper set. May I take this opportunity to thank my recent new six followers, I am thrilled to see you and hope I can continue to provide an interest for you. 

Monochromatic - Orange

On at Crafting When We Can, their challenge is #23 Monochrome. Not everyone likes Orange but I did notice the background colour of the blog just happens to be orange so someone other than me must like it. I have been fairly busy over the last few days on a production line to produce cards. This is one of them. Each year I adopt a different charity to donate my cards to, last year it was the British Legion and St. Luke's Hospice, this year it is the Salvation Army, I take them as many cards as I can over the year, just from my weekly card making there are many, but every so often I have a blitz. When I bought my first pack of
Core-dination card, I had to have a play session which resulted in 20 cards. LOL

Monochrome in Blues

Over at Sweet Stampin, they are having a challenge for Monochrome this week. this is one of the cards from my production line which I mentioned in the post before this, please check it out. I used papers from Papermania the Aqua set. The stamp is from Kay Carley - Funky Flowers available from The Stampman.  I coloured the flowers with Promarkers. thanks for the challenge ladies, I always enjoy making Monochrome cards.

My Post Problem is Back AGAIN!

Is it just me?

When I click on Draft - I got a message which told me it was an error to refer to  bx-10x30o . I have had to re-do my new post for today and presume I will have to again tomorrow. I am off to Blogger support to see if I can find out what the ....is going on..So, if there is an identified problem to have a code, is it just me? I doubt it. Check to see if your posts are there my blogger friends.
