Let's Go To The Hop & Don't Forget!!!!!

Updated!
Oooppsy!
I was editing this post & got distracted so I apologise if you've been looking for it! 
It managed to fnd it's way back to drafts!
Woo Hoo! It's that time of the month! 
The Dude Time Doodles Dudette's 
are having a blog hop to introduce you to  the new family members in the
Dude Time Doodles Store!

Now, if you're already on the blog hop & you've found your way here from the
awesome Boni's blog then you're on the right track!

Here's my card!


Meet "Howie HotHotHot"
Pheeeeweee!  He's really toooooo hot to handle! 
I'll tell you a bit more about my card in a little bit,
 if you're interested to know about how I made it!
But for now, here's the order of the hop!

                       Dawn  (That's Me)

Now, as always, it's a circle hop so if you manage to get a little lost along
the way, you can pick it up at  the Dude Time Doodle's Challenge Blog 
& carry on from there
Whatever you do, don't forget to leave a comment & a little love
on each of the Dudette's blogs along the hop!
I have a sneaky feeling
there may be a "mystery hostess" somewhere along the way!
Which could mean a little surprise for someone!

If you're anxious to get on with the hop, you can now head to Lynn's blog!
(If you want to hear more about my card read on!)


I'm a sucker for a man in uniform & Ding Dong,
 Howie HotHotHot sure rings my bell! lol
I coloured him up with my promarkers & cut him out with a nestie.

As you can see, I made a side stepper card.
I lined the back panel of each step with a matt of coordinating plain paper 
& then topped with design paper. The paper is from Papermania.
The panels under the image are the same size as the stepper panels.


I added some Card Candy & a little bell from my Christmas stash,
 which I strung on a little piece of raffia.


I highlighted his boots with a white Sakura Glaze pen, to make them look shiny.
I coloured his boot buckles the nozzle of the hose with a 
Sakura clear star pen to make it look metallic 
& I added some  Anita's 3D Clear Gloss to the drips & the puddle.


I added two ruffles of ribbon along the front of the card.


The sentiment panel was generated on the pc using a font called flame,
which you can download free here & I cut it out with a nestie,
added a few spots of colour with a promarker to make it a bit more flamelike 
& added a couple of bits of Card Candy!
Okay, now you know all about my card, off you hop to Lynn's blog & check out her fab creation!

I'd just like to point out that as this post goes live in the
wee small hours here in the UK, 
I'll be fast asleep! So I promise to link up the blogs before & after me on the hop
as soon as I awake from my slumbers & the rest as soon as I get a moment!
Have a rootin' tootin' good time at the Hop!!
Oh, & just before you go, a little reminder about the Anniversary Scavenger Crawl


on the 24th August! There's prizes!!!!
You can grab the badge from here or Dude Time Doodles & post it on your side bar so you don't miss out on all the fun! I've heard there may even be some Candy up for grabs!

Sunday Sweet Sunday

Good afternoon all!
Hope your Sunday is going just as you want it to!
Time for another fab challenge at The Crafty Pad!

Our sponsor this week is

CRAFTY SENTIMENTS


One Lucky winner will win the choice of 3 Digi's from their wonderful store!

You all seemed to enjoy the Christmas in July Challenge, 
so let's see if this one tickles your fancy too!
Challenge #131 is Embossing!
Let's see embossing on your project, be it heat or dry, we don't mind, 
as little or as much as you choose as long as we can see some embossing there!
Here's my take on it!


I used a red square card blank for the base card.
 The image is The Beach Hut  from Debbie's fabulous shop 
I coloured it up with promarkers & chalked in the sky. 
Next I added some faux stitching around the outside 
using a letraset fine liner pen.
I then did some heat embossing


I stamped my sentiment with Versamark black ink, then embossed with a 
sparkly black embossing powder. 
It looks a bit odd in the pic as it has glitter through it. 
I then matted it onto some aqua card.
Next I did some dry embossing


I used my Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder, 
which I inked over with distress ink. 
Sorry, I can't remember which colour I used but I do remember
 thinking at the time, it was kind of sea like! lol
I matted that onto the aqua card & tied a ribbon around it.
Next I added some flowers with brad centres!


I was going to change the colour of some brads with embossing powder as 
Leesa showed us in her fab tutorial here
 but as I had just the colours I wanted, I had no need to!

To finish my card,I added a couple of photo corners & used a white gel pen to 
highlight the life raft & the beach ball.
I also decorated the inside of the card but I forgot to take a photo, 
I do apologise for that!
I hope you like what you see!
Thank you for stopping by on this sunny Sunday afternoon! 
I'm off to like up to the following challenges then it's a lovely birthday lunch 
with my MIL & the rest of Hubby's family!
Enjoy your day & I hope to see you at 
The Crafty Pad for our Embossing Challenge!
