An Easel Card

Hi everyone, for the next two weeks at Ruby's Rainbow the

challenge will be an 

EASEL CARD.

I have enjoyed making this card I think the Santa is so friendly.

Please check out the challenge blog to see the inspiration by the DT.

For my card...

A white scallop card. All papers used are from

Crafter's Companions Inspiration Issue #7 - Nordic papers.

Greeting die from my stash. 

Have fun everyone, I'll be visiting you over the next two weeks. 

Something Beginning with M

Hi, for the next week, we at Cardz 4 Guyz would like to see

you create something beginning with the letter M. 

Don't forget this is a blog for male orientated cards only.

Please check out the fantastic creations from the Desgin Team.

For my Card - I have chosen for my theme - MEDIEVAL

For My Card

From an A4 sheet of white card, I made an A6 - 6" x 4"card.

Added to front cover dark blue card. 

I had another splashing play, with Distress Inks splashed 

with water and dabbed to create the effect.

Dried with my heat tool.

Using Black Soot ink pad, I stamped the knight.

Added clear embossing powder and heat embossed. 

The medieval knight is from Elusive Images

I stamped the 5 shields with different ink pads.

A piece of gold ribbon below the shields. 

The shield stamp was from Tandastamps.

Sadly both of the stamp companies have ceased trading.

Have fun - I enjoy these challenges we never know where 

your imagination and creativity will take you.

Autumn Colours

Hi, for the next week at Make My Monday our challenge is

Autumn ( Fall)  Colours

You can create anything you wish using the colours we

associate with the Autumn - Fall  season. 

Please check out the designs from our Design Team.

For my card - 

Kraft scallop edge card - additional Kraft card to mat.

I blended several  Distress Inks onto my plastic blending mat

sprayed with water, then laid an A4 sheet of  white card, 

I put it aside to dry, patted a few very wet areas.

Using my heat tool made sure it was dry before stamping,

I chose an area I liked from the A4 sheet for the stamping.

The tree stamps are from Crafters Companion - part of the

#8  Winter Edition Crafter's Inspiration pack.

I stamped them with Gathered Twigs DI. 

The Autumn sentiment is from Sheena Douglass Leaves Set.

To frame the card I added a chequeboard design with a Micron pen. 

Have fun everyone, remember your topic need not be Autumn (Fall)

but the Colours your choose are to be Autumn Colours.
