Relaxing when you are over the hill!

A male friends birthday in March and this image I think suits most men his age down to the ground! I think his wife nearly wet herself with laughter when she saw it as this is the vision she sees most Sundays!

love the holes in his socks!

Smile - CPS#7

Challenge No7 from http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ provided the base for my card making today, I am obviously in a Spring Mood based on the colours and theme I chose!



I used DCWV paper and cardstock from the Teen selection, I added some pink fibre to the spine, across the front in a diagonal pattern and up to the top right hand corner of the card, I then added some Prima flowers from the new Sprite Dotty Collection, which I embellished with some small 'glass' flowers in corresponding colours. Finally I added 'Smile' which is on vellum and is also from the DCWV Teen Selection, which I attached using flower eyelets.

Twins or More - DCM Multiple Births Challange

http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/ latest challenge is to create a card for twins or more multiple births as there seems to be more and more of these, which I think is true, but then I cant think of anyone who is pregnant at the moment and if I did I don't think I would relay this statistic to them lol!



Two Bundles of Joy - One of Each!


I used black Stazon ink on the Whispers stamp and stamped onto a yellow cream card stock. I then used Staedtler Triply Fineliners to outline the image, and coloured the image with water colour pencils. To set the watercolour pencils I used Johnsons Klear wax, it gives it a slightly shinny finish. The image was then mounted on two different papers by DCWV and then finally mounted onto a DL card. Before I mounted the stamped image I ran the card through the printer and printed the greeting 'Two bundles of joy and one of each!' in the bottom right hand cornet in a pale green. To the left I added some flowers, the pink flower is from Prima Sprites Collection Dotty Pink, the Green is from the same collection but Dotty Green, and the blue is from Just Pots Funky flowers, each of the flowers has a patterned brad in the centre and these are from Making Memories.

All About Eyes

The Wednesday Stamper (http://wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com/) challenge this week is called All about the Eyes. I have to admit at first I really struggled to even think of any of my current stash of stamps having anything appropriate - I really wanted the eyes to be stamped.....then I remembered my cats eyes! I got this unmounted stamp from http://www.tandastamps.com/ but had not used it yet....so I started to play!

Africa's Eyes

This was the simplest to do and probably now the most ornate! I simply stamped the image using Stazon in Saddle Brown on Orange Card. I found an African Tile image in Corel Draw printed it out and then using BeesKnees font I printed out Africa's Eyes, I mounted the stamped image on 3 d foam and placed it in the middle of the African Tile, I then added the Africa's Eye lettering, this was then mounted on Gold Mirri Card and then Orange Card.



Eyes and Prints

This looks so evil to me - and I don't think I like it but I thought I would keep in anyway! The image was stamped using Versamark, embossed using Detailed White by Stampendous and then had metallic rubons in copper buffed onto it, the image was then mounted onto some orange card that had been covered in Versamagic Sahara Sand ink, and laid on top of a black square card that had pawprints by All Night Media stamped in VersaMagic Sahara Sand.




Eyes Bright

I stamped the image onto black card and used stampendous clear embossing powder. Once the embossed image had cooled down I used metallic rubon - in Deep Gold, Copper, and Gold to highlight the image. When I was happy and finished buffing, I stamped a African savannah image onto a white card using the Judi kins African Safari Cube and Versamagic in Sahara Sand, added some fibres from from the Scarlets Letter collection by BasicGrey.




Look into my Eyes

I used Versamark clear ink, and then embossed with Detailed Black by Stampendous, because the image was so breathtaking I didn't want to take away from it so I simply mounted it onto a white square card and added 3 black brads and some black fibre from the Scarlets Letter collection by BasicGrey.

Happy Birthday - Lilac Flowers

This is a birthday card for a birthday group that I am in, I have used The English Paper Company Papers - which I have simple matted and layered onto silver mirri card and then used some Prima Hydrangea Suri Dream flowers with matching brads as centres.

Wildlife - CbC template 21 challange

This card was made using a template from http://www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk/ which is a great forum that sets different challanges for its members. I used Rouge de Garance papers in the 'fleur de chine' range, one paper as cut to the size of the square card and then a different paper from the same range was ripped and placed on top. I used brads in a green pale yellow and black to frame the Wildlife sticker which is from the DCWV 'Sayings' sticker stack - A Guy Thing.
