No 3 St. Luke's Charity Card Challenge

This is my third card for this month's challenge 'I do like to be beside the seaside' over at St. Luke's Charity Card Challenge. Please pop over to have a look, they do need a lot of support to help them raise the funds they need each year. They will be so grateful for your support, simply make a card, and if you can spare it, send it to them so they can sell it at their next craft sale. I would like to thank the ladies, for I have been thinking so much of the seaside these past few weeks, my OH and I took two of our grandchilren to the coast on Thursday, it was wet, cold, dull, and we had a fabulous time walking along the beach and playing around the rock pools. So thanks ladies. Now to my card (No 3) this involved a lot of different parts being masked, stamped and coloured. The stamps are a combination of Coast from Creative Expressions   and Beach stamps from Elusive Images. All colouring has been achieved using TH Distress inks, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mustard Seed. I stamped and used silver EP for the anchor. I hope you like it, I will be posting it at the end of the month, as usual.
I am also entering this seaside card into the Clouds challenge at Stampin B's Design Team .

Another guy's card

This week at Stampin B's Design team the challenge is a masculine card, I do like making men's cards, hope that doesn't make me sound weird, for I know many crafter's find them a super challenge. Coincidently at my card class tomorrow my little group of lovely ladies will be making a few masculine cards, this will be one them. I have prepared a selection for them to choose to make, hopefully, 3 cards. This is a really easy card to make. The main card is navy, with a kraft piece of card. Stamps are from Creative Expressions, a Sheena Douglass A5 plate. Colouring medium was mostly watercolour pencils and for the background TH Tumbled Glass. Finished by tying a piece of twine around the kraft card before attaching it. Thanks for looking and for your comments which are always appreciated.
