Life's A Beach on the Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday all!
It's time to grab a coffee, sit down relax & take in the sights along the way 
on the Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop.
The Dude & Dudette's have some great works to showcase 
this month's new images along the way.
If you've arrived from the lovely & uber talented 
Ruth's blog you're right on track!
Now remember the hop is a circle hop with no beginning & no end.
Just jump on in & start hopping, remember to leave a little love along the way 
as there will be a mystery host/hostess with a little prize to give to one lucky 
person who leaves a comment!

Here's my card!


I thought I'd bring you something just a little bit different this week!
I made a centre stepper card using a template from the lovely 
Debbie Lauder atCraftystash you can find it here

If you're in a rush remember to leave some love then hop on right away 
to the awesome craft extravaganza that is CG's blog!

Here's how I made my card!
I decided to make a little beach scene!

I printed a sheet of A4 card with a freebie paper called 
Sand from the E Paper Kit Beach Day available from here 
then printed the template on the reverse!
I added some waves from the Mostly Mostly Sunny Paper Kit at My Grafico


This is the new release image, he's called Jacques Waterman!
As you can see, he's just arrived at Dudeville Hollow Beach
& is a whiter shade of pale than the rest of the guys!
Still, he's decided to make his entrance with a splash!
As you can see in the photo, he's suspended on a bit of acetate to 
make it look like he's diving into the water!


I decorated the back of the card with a couple of panels to write on
& some of the waves paper!
The other dude's on my card are already in store & are:
Babe Watcher best lifeguard in the business!
Santi Beaches (you know who) having a well deserved break!
Last but by no means least Waylon Waves is hanging five in the background.
A ribbon ruffle & button sun & a sentiment ticket from 
The Crafty Pad Designs complete my card along with 
a couple of beach themed metal charms.
Thanks for hopping by!
I hope you have time to complete the hop  don't forget to leave some love 
at each stop along the way!
Have fun fun fun!!!

Sassy Skater

Hey everyone,
I have a card to share with you today! Hurrah!


This little offering is for my niece!
As soon as I saw the image I knew it was for her!
She's a bit of an action girl! So it suits her down to the ground!
The colours I have used are her favourites!
I used a 5"x5" square card base made from a sheet of A4 card.
I distressed the edges of the design papers & added two panels
which were wrapped with bakers twine!


The image is Sassy Skater & she's coloured with promarkers!
She's a bit of a Tom Boy but still likes to look good!
I distressed around the edges of the image & the matt.
I also attempted to add some faux stitching up the sides with a 
Sakura Souffle Pen & a metal ruler but as you can see, it wasn't my best effort!
The Sentiment was generated on my PC.
I added some brads for a bit of detail.


I decorated the inside of the card to go with the outside.
The papers I have used are from the Paper Cellar Celebrations Collection


I added a butterfly charm as I just felt it needed another little something.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
