One For The Guys

Good Morning all,

The weeks are flying in aren't they!

I just can't believe we are in mid June aleready.

I'm in the middle of trying to sort out my craftroom/spare bedroom

between guests but have taken time out to make this little card.

for the challenge over at Eureka Stamps this week where the theme is

#197 One For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day Cards

I've used the gorgeous little image

Fawn #13106

Isn't it just adorable!

My mum & dad live just at the edge of an estate & go walking

in a local country park most days. Deer are a common sight, so I thought 

this would be the perfect image for my Father's Day card to my dad!

I used a 6"x6" Kraft card base & Kraft papers which I lightly distressed with some scissors.

The image was coloured with Promarkers then cut using a Spellbinders die.

I added a computer generated sentiment, some twine & some 

scrabble type wooden letters to embellish!

I hope you like it & I look forward to seeing what you create for the challenge

Eureka Stamps where the theme this week is

#145 "Father's Day"

Here's my DT inspiration card

The card base is A5 Linen Embossed card stock.

The papers are from "My Minds Eye"

I used the Digi Stamp #8109 Happy Father's Day 

printed straight on to some Kraft CS.Then matted & layered.

 I added little eyelets to the top corners & threaded

with ribbon, which was recycled from some clothing.

I added some lace, ribbon & skeleton leaves and mounted the

sentiment panel on some foam tape. 

The little wooden heart & flowers are from my stash.

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!

If you want to know  a little more about my card, read on!

Here's a closer look at the image which was coloured with Flexmarkers,

distressed with a pair of scissors then Vintage Linen & Frayed Burlap

 Distress Inks.

The button & twine are from my stash & the sentiment is a

 Papermania stamp which came free with a magazine.

 I tried using Distress Inks to ink up the stamp but it didn't give the 

effect I was hoping for, so I used a flexmarker instead.

Thanks for hopping along!

One For The Guys

Good morning lovely blog readers!

Here is my little creation for the new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons where the theme is

"One For The Guys"

I made a little rocker card for Fathers Day!

For those who are not aware, it's Fathers Day in the UK on Sunday 16th June!

I used Kraft CS for the base card & the scalloped mat.

The image I have used is from our sponsor 

Bugaboo Stamps.  Who are offering a fab prize of 7 digis to

one lucky winner! The image is called Gus Birthday - Optional

There is a fab sentiment which comes with it which although intended 

for a birthday, might also work well for other occasions too!

The image has been printed onto ivory cardstock from Southfield Stationers

then coloured with promarkers, cut out with a circle nestie then

inked with a liquid chalk inkpad.

I tried to pick out some of the colours in thedesign paper!

I also added some glossy accents to his glasses & the headlights.

The papers I have used are K&Co, Hopscotch Boy.

It's actually two sides of the same sheet.

I thought the transport images would work well with the image!

I made a little rosette which can be removed & worn if desired!

The tape I've used was in my stash, not sure where it came from

but I'm guessing it's recycled from packaging!

A little side view to finish up!

I'm putting this card forward for the following challenges:

Creative Belli - Fathers Day

#174 Let's Hear It For The Boys

With Father's Day fast approaching here in the UK, we'd like to see
your creations to celebrate either

Father's Day Or A Special Man In Your Life!

Easy Peasy huh??? We'll see you over there!!!

My card is a Father's Day Card.

The Image & Papers are both from The Crafty Pad Designs

I Love My Daddy - Daughter UNcoloured Image & Sentimet

One For The Boys Digital Backing Papers.

The base card is A5, made by scoring & folding an A4 sheet of cardstock.

I played about with the layout, adding lots of layers. 

The image was coloured with  a combination of

Promarkers & Flexmarkers. I only recently began using 

Flexmarkers & I'm liking them a lot!

Think I have to get me some more! lol

The sentiment, is one of the two that come with the image.

(The other is a Happy Birthday sentiment.)

I cut it out with an inverted scallop nestie then matted onto a 

scalloped circle of cardstock.

I popped it on some foam pads for dimension then

added a ribbon bow & a little saw charm.

to finish off embellishing my card I added some silver Card Candi.
