Red, White and Blue



Hello, thanks for popping by. We are starting a new
challenge on Cardz 4 Guyz, this morning, 
you have two weeks to join in the fun.
#248 RedWhite and Blue
Pop over to the blog to see the inspiration from
the DT,  and to check out the details of the challenge.
For my 5" x 7"card, I have used navy and red card
to mat and layer. The bike, from old stash, was heat
embossed with clear EP, onto Black Versafine ink. 
Using my Crop-o-dile, I added the metal eyelets. 
(Sadly you will see I was a bit heavy handed and
squashed a few of them. - Sorry.)
Hoping you and yours are well. Stay safe and
keep on crafting.

Colour on Kraft


Hello everyone, I hope you are safe and well. Thanks
for taking the time to visit my blog.
Today we begin a new challenge - Colour on Kraft
Please visit the blog for the small details and to see
my fellow team mates ideas for the challenge.
I used Kraft card with a lilac mat card.
The stamped flower heads, are from a set -
Wild Flowers - with the Simply Cards and
Papercraft issue #204. 
I white heat embossed the flowers and coloured  with 
Koh-i-Noor watercolour paints.
I enhanced by adding stalks and small dots using 
a white gel pen.  I also drew an edge to the 
Kraft card with the gel pen. 
Please stay safe and well and thanks again for
your visit.
