The Male Room -Nov. - Animals

 Hello and welcome to my blog. We have a new challenge at The Male Room  for November - 

     #216 Animals.   To see inspiration from the design team please visit the blog.   

I made a 8" x 6" landscape book fold card, with two pieces of card cut from 2 x A4 card. I added a gold Mirri mat. then a brightly coloured piece of paper from a Hunkydory Duo paper pad. From waste pieces of previously used similar paper I created  landscape strips across the length of the card, to give extra interesting dimension., I then added to the bars, from a Hunkydory sheet of Bookmark Animal toppers, three toppers spaced out. Finally I added a sentiment and a circle saying Be Bold. 

#290 Winter Animals

Hell and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Helen has chosen #290 Winter Animals. To see the inspiration from our deisgn team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white circular card. I die cut a circle for the stamped image. The robin is from the Tall Tails set from Katy Sue Designs. I know a robin is around all year, but we do think highly of them around the winter season. I used Distress Inks to colour the background and Promarkers for the robin. I decoupaged the robin's body and hat for extra dimension.  A Quickie glue pen and Glamour dust glitter added the final touch, creating icy looking snow.

On seperate pices of spare white card, I stamped the Sparkle  and Elegant shoe. I then coloured these with Zig watercolour brush pens. Higlighting with a darker orange . I added sparkle to both shoes using a sparkle Wink ofg Stella brush pen. The roses, left overs from another card were added with the die cut greeting. All atamps and both shoes were created for Daisy B stamps, which sadly has closed. Small gold stud gems were added. 

 

MAWTT - A Mascuine Card

Hell and welcome to my blog. 

Today we begin a new challenge at MAWTT -Moving Along With The Times

Tracy has chosen for the challenge - A Masculine Card. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog.

I decided to have a go at making this unusual card, after watching it being made on a craft TV programme. This is the front view, I will add the reverse further down the page. I followed the measurements and score lines to create the required folds, which was simple. I used papers and cards from my Hunkydory stash. The toppers, there are a total of 5, all except one, are from a collection of Bookmark toppers from Hunkydory. The odd one out, is the guy battling the rapids, he is from a H.D. pocket pad of Sporty Guys, these are much shorter than the Bookmark toppers, but I did a bit of cutting and pasting, literally and covered the gap with a sentiment greeting. I added matching papers on the inside. On the reverse I left one panel for any messages. 

Dragonfly Dreams - #206 Embossing

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin our new challenge at Dragonfly Dreams.   Pamela has chosen #206 Embossing To see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the blog.  

I began with a white 7 x 5 in. card. I added a beige background cardfor a mat. On a piece of white card I embossed using a Cuttlebug folder to create the backgound. Using a score board I added 10 score lines to add further interest to the white embossed card. To the background I added a die cut of flowers and leaves from my stash. I die cut the flower heads again with three autumnal soft colours. adding these over the white flower heads.  The leaves were coloured with a Zig brush pen. The sentiment was stamped and then fussy cut, adhered with 3d foam.
