Bingo!!!!!

Good Morning all,

It's Wednesday & that means it's time for a fab new challenge over at 

Dude Time Doodles!

This week we have a really fun challenge for you!

First of all here's my card!

The Challenge we have for you is Bingo!

I chose the diagonal, twine,step card,brads.

The image is Ted TightEnd

On the football field, he's a bit of a scary character but off the field, 

he's a real pussycat!

I coloured him up with promarkers & fussy cut him out,

before mounting him on to the card with foam squares for dimension.

The card base was made using an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I used a Pop Out Step Card Template from 

Debbie Lauder over at Craftystash

It's so simple to use & saved on waste too, as there is an elements sheet included!

The papers I have used were a freebie download by Shabby Princess

I think they are fantastic & they were just what I wanted for this card!

I printed the striped paper directly on to the card stock & printed 

the template on the reverse.

I cut it out using a craft knife & ruler then embossed the fold lines 

with an embossing tool & ruler.

I added the sentiment to the panels in my graphics programme. 

The font I have used is called Collegiate & you can download it free from here!

I distressed all of the panels with a red inkpad before assembling the 

card & added twine & brads from my stash.

I have to say I was really happy with the way this one turned out!

I hope you like him too! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Woo Hoo, it's Sunday & we're back!!!

It's finally time for the first challenge of 2012 over at 

The Crafty Pad!

The theme for our challenge #153 is New Year Sparkle!

The design team were asked to make a project using one of the latest

Crafty Pad images, Lulu with Cake!

She's a delightful little lady & look at that cake!

She's on Special Offer too at just 59p!!!

I made an A6 gatefold card.

I used a piece of green A5 cardstock for the base.

Scored & folded then added matts of "Celebrations" patterned paper

 from The Paper Cellar to each panel, inside & out.

I coloured little Lulu up with my promarkers & added more than 

a touch of Diamond Sparkles. 

I then cut her out with an oval Nestie, inked the edges with an Ink It Up 

ink pad & added more glitter too.

I matted the image onto a scalloped oval, cut from the green card!

I cut out the sentiment ticket 

(A Freebie on the challenge blog this week)

then edged with the ink pad & glitter before matting 

onto the green card.

This is a close up of the mulberry paper roses which I added glitter to.

Not sure you can make it out very well & the pic does look a bit odd 

as there's a bit of glare from the glitter!

Next I added the computer generated greeting,

which I made using the same font as the sentiment ticket(Vivaldi)

The little black circle you can see is a magnet which is used to keep the card closed.

It's the first time I've used these & I'm really happy with the result!

Here's a close up of the greeting which I cut out with the oval nestie & 

matted on to a scalloped oval of the green cardstock!

I added a few little self adhesive gems just to keep the theme going!

Don't forget to stop by & check out the other DT projects for a bit of inspiration!

I do hope you'll find the time to join in our
