Card ingredients:

Image: precious moments (freebie from google image search)

Papers: buzzcraft, plain card from the papermill shop

Here’s Bernard……

This is one of Sally-Ann’s new downloads over at DigiStamp Boutique and he’s called Bernard.  There are three different images available and this one is called ‘what’s that noise’.  When you get this particular download your image won’t have the musical notes as I drew them on myself (quite pleased with that lol!).  The three Bernard images are the Offer of the Month over at DigiStamp Boutique this month so go here to check them out.  Onto my card………. I coloured the image with my promarkers and as I mentioned drew the musical notes above the birdie.  The sparkly cs is from my stash and the spotty dp is by buzzcraft.  The ribbon is from my stash (very pleased with my bow too as I’m usually useless with them) and the decorative edges are cut with my new fiskars border punch.  The sentiment is also DigiStamp Boutique.  

I’m also going to enter this card at Bee Crafty as their current challenge is ‘things with wings’ (you don’t have to use a bee crafty image but you do have to include something digital i.e. image or papers). 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Only one more sleep until my birthday *yay*.

Cupcake Craft Challenge - DT card

This week over at CCC there is a sketch to follow. I used handyman Jack from CC designs and coloured him with my pro-markers. The nails and handyman sentiment are also from the same stamp set. The dp is by buzzcraft and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The ribbon is from my stash. I have rotated the sketch so that the image fits a little better. I can't wait to see what gorgeous creations you all come up with this week. Thanks for stopping by.

Papertake challenge/Cupcake craft challenge #32

This is my card for this week's papertake challenge, which is a lovely sketch by Dawny and the Cupcake Craft challenge, which is monsters. I used a downloaded image from Grab-a-doodle called 'out of this world' and punched him out with my woodware scalloped square. I did cheat ever so slightly and print out an image that was already coloured, as I was short on time lol! The dp is by buzzcraft and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The adhesive stones are from QVC. I haven't added a sentiment as I'm not sure who will be getting this card yet haha! Thanks for stopping by.

Daisy & Dandelion #1/Stamps & Smiles #6

Hi everyone, I hope you've been enjoying the very springlike weather we've been having the last few days. It's been really gorgeous here and I even went to work without a coat today LOL! This is my card for the new Daisy and Dandelion challenge blog, which began with a theme of new beginnings and also the stamps and smiles challenge which is a sketch. I used my new D&D image and simply stamped him with versafine vintage sepia ink and left it at that! The striped dp is doodlebug, the spotty dp is buzzcraft and the plain cs is bazzill bling. The sentiment is elzybells and I used my woodware retro labels punch to cut it out. The buttons are from my stash. This is a great and simple sketch to use and one that I will be using again. Thanks for stopping by.

Pollycraft challenge #10/MTTC #51

I made this card for the pollycraft challenge, which this week is a sketch and the my time to craft challenge, which is 'hats'. I did however rotate the sketch onto it's side as my image fitted better that way around. I printed off a pollycraft benji download and coloured him with my pro-markers. I used dp by buzzcraft and plain cs from the papermill shop. The sentiment is stamping bella (I love it - the font is so great), the button is doodlebug and the craft wire threaded through it is from my stash. The ribbon is american crafts and I used my fiskars scalloped decorative scissors for the edge of the red cs. I'm really happy with this card and will probably give it to a little boy who's birthday is coming up soon. Thanks for stopping by, I appreicate your visit.

Papertake challenge

This is my card for this week's papertake challenge which is '3 shapes on your card'. I counted my image rectangle as one shape, the squares as another and the message oval as the third. I stamped the image by creative impressions and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is by buzzcraft and all the cs is from the papermill shop. The oval message is from craftwork cards. Thanks for looking.

Sketch Sat #33/Dutch Dare #31

This is my entry for this week's sketch saturday challenge which is obviously a sketch and the dutch dare challenge which is 'green, blue and brown'. I stamped the CC designs image and coloured him with my pro-markers. The plain dp is from a paper pack from QVC, the brown cs is bazzill bling, the blue dotty cs is bazzill swiss dots, the green cs is from the papermill shop and the brown patterned dp is by buzzcraft. The buttons are from my stash and the sentiment is also CC designs. I really liked this sketch and will definitely use it again. Thanks for looking.

Crafty Muse Challenge

The crafty muse challenge this week is 'boys will be boys' so I thought this card was ideal. I stamped the inkadinkado image, but the original image had a football and I needed a rugby ball, so I stamped a single See D's rugby ball and stuck it over the top. Doesn't look too bad does it? I coloured the image with my pro-markers and used my pc for the sentiment. The dp by buzzcraft was cut into strips and laid over cs from the papermill shop. I used my dovecraft star punch to cut out the stars. A nice simple card, but I think that is what most men like anyway. Thanks for looking.

Rocket card

I was asked to make a card for a 2 year old boy. I remembered I bought a clear stamp set from Inque Boutique and thought it would be ideal for this card. The stamp set is called Toys and contains 8 different stamps including the rocket and flames I used on this card. I coloured the image with my pro-markers. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the dp is by buzzcraft. The sentiment was done on the pc and the adhesive gems are from QVC. The '2' is a stamp by See d's and the 'today' was handwritten. Thanks for looking.

CCT - "In the House"/Michelle's blogaversary part 2

I can't believe I've made a card for a challenge with days to spare, I'm usually posting my card a couple of hours before the deadline!! Here is my entry for this week's CCT challenge "in the house" and it also fits the bill for Michelle at http://cardgrotto.blogspot.com blogaversary part 2 (which was to make a monotone card). I stamped the stamping bella image and coloured her in with my pro-markers, adding stickles to highlight the bubbles. The dp is by buzzcraft and I used my spots and dots cuttlebug folder for the white panel. The stamped sentiment is by elusive images. Thanks for looking.

60th Birthday cards

I was asked to make two 60th Birthday cards for a man (groan) and this is what I came up with. On the first card I used a funstamps image, which I coloured with pencils. I used dp from the papermania men's paper pack and plain blue cs from the papermill shop. The gems were from a pack from QVC. The sentiment was done on my pc (segoe script font).

For the second card I used a penny black image, again coloured with pencils. The dp is by buzzcraft and I bought it from handy hippo. I used bazzill bling cs for matting my image and sentiments and a small piece to go through my button. Button was from my stash and sentiment was done on my pc (papyrus font). I prefer the second card but all in all not too bad. Thanks for looking.
