Christmas for Men

Good Morning,  my card to share today is for this weeks challenge at Bah Humbug - With Men In Mind. The image is an old unmounted one that I bought from ebay, so no idea of the make, stamped with Momento ink, the backing paper is from Artylicious Season's Greetings cd, the strips of paper are from CraftyAnn's new Crinkled paper set, the sentiment is computer generated and I finished the whole thing off with some gold Card Candy.  I know the card is for a man, but I have added a little Stickles Star Burst.

I followed Sketch124 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and as the image was stamped onto an offcut from my white scrap box and all the matting from the gold mirri scrap basket I am entering my card into Jule's Crafty Snippets Challenge - Week 41.

Thank you so much for visiting and for the lovely comments you have been leaving, they mean so much to me.

A second card for Stuart

Good Evening, first of all I must say a big thank you to all of my new followers and to everyone who has left comments with get well wishes.  Still a bit dizzy but I did manage to make a card today, it is the second of three cards for my grandson Stuart's 7th birthday - this one is from his sisters.  Last year at school all of the children is his class were given a team to follow in the World Cup.  Stuart ended up with Germany and ever since he has had a thing about all things German.  He is well into F1 and was most put out yesterday when Sebastian Vettel didn't win lol.  I have  made today's card in the colours of the German flag - red, black and yellow - and looked up the football strip that the German team wore for the World Cup and copied it as closely as I could.  The image is from Cuddly Buddly coloured with Promarkers, those new tips are really brilliant.  The bp was one I found at the bottom of a big box of papers, I cut the number 7 on my Craft Robo using the Cut n Paste font that I used for the sentiment.

I have followed Sweet Sketch Wednesday No.111.

Pick up a Penguin

Good Evening, my card today is for Sketch107 over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and I have flipped it horizontally because of the way the penguin is looking - didn't think to flip Mo's Digi stamp.  I coloured the image with Promarkers, the bp is DCWV Christmas stack with glitter, can't find it anywhere now I think it has been discontinued which is a shame because there were some fabby papers in this stack.  Everything else on my card is from my stash, I have cuttled the red card and sprayed the white flowers with silver glitter spray.  I decided to go with another Christmas card because for the first time in ages I have got all of my personal and ordered cards completely finished up to the end of July.

Catchin' Flakes

Good Evening, it's been dull and grey here today, but at least we didn't get any rain - yet!  My card to share today is for the challenge at Bah Humbug and this week the ladies have asked for Scarves and Mittens.  Apart from the dark blue cs, which is Papermania,  everything else has come from Fred She Said.  The bps and the flower are from the Blue Christmas Poinsettia Pack and the image is Catching Flakes, I have used the pre-coloured option.   The sentiment is computer generated and I have added a bit of stickles to the centre of the flower, but it doesn't show up very well.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Good Evening, I am not happy with my card today, it appears to be a bit insipid.  I went around it the wrong way and coloured the image first and then had real probs trying to get the backing papers to co-ordinate properly, and I think I should have used much bolder colours. I am not a natural when it comes to art, and I struggle with picking colours for these fantasy type images.  I followed Sketch102 over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday, but, I don't think I have nailed it properly.   Onto the details:  the image is a Sweet Pea stamp by Ching-Chou Kuik and I have coloured with Promarkers and Copics, I masked the image and created  the background with distress inks and Judikins colour dusters, the backing papers are from CuddlyBuddly and everything else comes from my stash. 

As the colours are quite pale I think I can enter into this week's Papertake Weekly challenge which is Pale, Pretty Pastels.

Many thanks for visiting today

Bah Humbug!

Good Afternoon from a gloriously sunny Shetland, it was raining this morning, but now there isn't a cloud in the sky. Hopefully, I am going to sit outside with my book for an hour after I have finished this post.  The ladies of Humbug Hall have asked us all to Go Green this week - Recycling or Shades of Green.  I have managed a bit of both a fair bit of green and the buttons are recycled from my good neighbour's fabulous button box.  She has been recycling buttons since well before recycling was even though of.  The ribbon is also recycled, sorry the buttons don't show up very well in the pic.  I have also followed this week's sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday

The image is a Judikins stamp, the bp is from an old Papermania Christmas pad, the coloured cs is from my scraps box, the flower is a Marianne Creatable Poinsettia and the sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for your visit and the lovely comments you have been leaving me.

Jack's Card

Good Evening, my card to share today is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday, the backing papers are from Cuddly Buddly, Funky Fairys and CraftyAnn,  the cardstock is Papermania, the sentiment computer generated and the big brad came from my stash.  The image is Ron Weasley and is from a set of Harry Potter digi images by Pixie Dust Studios who have today launched a new collection called The British Invasion. My image was  coloured with a combination of Promarkers and Copics.  I will be using one of the other stamps from this set for Jack's twin brother Lewis.  They are going to be 10 this year and I am not sure whether I should put the number on their cards, as a lot of kids these days tend to think they are too grown up for certain things.

I am also entering my card into  Rainbow Lady's Challenge - A Night at the Movies and Digital Tuesday Challenge - One for the Kids
