A Sketch

Hi everyone, something different for the challenge for

the next two weeks at Cardz 4 Guyz. Julie has provided 

this interesting sketch, you can tip it, flip it, but we do need to see 

the same design, in some orientation.

Please pop over to see what the Design Team came up with.

For my card, I first created the three circles using dies.

I stamped the fish onto paper from a paper pad from

The Works - Trendy Blue Lifestyle. 

The gold fish stamps are from a set in my stash-source unknown.

The Angel fish are by All Nigh Media

Coloured with Promarkers and Crafter's Companion Glitter Pens.

Matted onto dark blue card for contrast. 

Thanks for your visit and any comments you may leave.

Monochromatic

Hello, how are you? Thanks for your visit. Today we begin a
new two weekly challenge at My Time To Craft.  Mags has chosen
Monochromatic
Please check out the wonderful inspiration from the DT.
Based on a white scallop edge card, I used pink papers from
a paper pad from The Works - Whimsical Pastels.
the stamp is from Imagination Crafts - A Decoupage Butterfly.
I stamped the image 3 times, trimming and piling up the 3 pieces with
foam pads. On the background I stamped the sprig of leaves
from the same stamp set. The greeting stamp is by Crafter's Companions.
You can't see the Sparkles Pink glitter on I used on the wings, which is a shame.
Gem stones added.

Something Beginning with 'L'

Hello again, thanks for your visit. Today at Cardz 4 Guyz

our new challenge was chosen by me. Now and again we have a 

Something beginning with a letter challenge, it being close 

to Valentine's Day, I thought of Love, but there are many who 

aren't interested in the 'Love' cards so this helps them to 

choose their own design and purpose fo the card. 

The challenge then is Something Beginning with the Letter 'L'

from the Design Team.

If you scoll down I made a card for another challenge

 pad from The Works. The Kraft card from Jelly Bean Crafts.

I embossed the Kraft card in an embossing folder.

Going Around in Circles

Hi, today we begin a new two weekly challenge at Make My Monday.

Emma has chosen Going Around in Circles - we need to see at least 3 circles.

Please pop over to check out the blog, the DT have some wonderful

inspirational cards for this challenge.

I was inspired by a card I saw at the last Ross Craft Event I attended.

I first coloured a sheet of A4 watertcolour card, using a mixture of 

blue and purple Brusho colours.

With a Woodware Grasses stamp, I stamped 4 x, then using

different size circle dies I cut the circles from the coloured sheet.

Once all were assembled on the DL card, I added highlights with a white Glaze pen. 

I also went around the circles with dots using a Nano-Liner pen.

The sentiment is from Crafter's Companion.

W is for Wheels

paper is from a paper pad - Magic Moments from The Works.

I stamped over this with a skateboard stamp (old one ) from Elusive Images.

I stamped the skateboarder on white card, cut him out. Some sections 

were  coloured with pencils and Promarkers, others I paper pieced.
