Boats

 Hello and welcome to my bog. Today at Cardz 4 Guyz we begin another monthly challenge with        #377 Boats chosen by Dawn. To see the inspiration from the design team, plaease visit the blog. 

I began with a white 7 x 5 inches card. I added a Mirri silver mat. The blue paper is a sheet from a Duo Design pad - Hunkydory. The main image is from a Hunkydory Little Book - Nautical. The first layer, was one sheet divided into three, with a little cut from each outer edge to allow it's own silver mat to shine through. I then added a second layer to the middle section and decoupaged the sitting and one flying seagull. Next I added a fussy coat boat, which gives further dimension to the main topic. Finally I added a sentiment from the  Hunkydory - Just my Type pad of sentiments. Take care.  

CAS

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges, - Helen has chosen #191 CAS (clean and simple).  To see the remainder of the design team's inspiration please visit the blog. 

I began with a 6" white sq. card. I used die cuts from various suppliers.

 I added a green panel behind the trellis and painted the berries red, both to add a little colour.

 The stamp is from a Crafter's Companion set.

Snow in August (Christmas)

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin our new challenge at Make My Monday. Heather has chosen #258 Snow in August (Christmas). To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white scallop edge card. randomley stamped with a very small snowflake with DI Broken China.  The oval panel is a stamp from a while back by Katy Sue Designs, still a favourite of mine.

I is for Ink Blending

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today at Alphabet Challenges Lynda has chosen I is for Ink Blending. 

to see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a black 6" sq. card, which I matted with silver Mirri card. My designed card was created by blending DI from Tim Holtz. The silhouette stamps are from Sheena Douglass, stamped using Versafine ink. The explosion bursts were heat embossed with gold, silver and red embossing powders. 

I hope you have fun blending your inks.

For my design card, I have used HobbyArt stamps - Coastal Create-it Scenic stamps. The card has a curved aperture front, with more cut out work on the card. I used Aquamarkers to watercolour the scene. I hope you enjoy the challenge, there are so many variations available for the challenge.
