Lily of the Valley Cricketer - First time Inked!

I've had this stamp for a while, and just never had the chance to ink him up until now! 

Look at that face full of concentration!

For my card I have used Bearly Mine Designs - Printable Papers from the 'For the Boys' set which can be found and bought here! 

I've used my Star Nesties to cut out a few stars, sentiment is computer generated. 

The image was coloured with Copics.

I'm entering this card into a few challenges:

Bearly Mine Designs - Anything Goes!

Papertake Weekly - Dads and Lads!

Lili of the Valley - Anything Goes!

Stamp Something - Something Punched *Punches/Die Cuts etc*

Saturday Challenge/Secret Crafter - A Male Card!

I see a definite theme here lol

Thanks for stopping by, hope to catch you soon!

Snowboarding Birthday card - Say what now!

I was asked to make a Birthday card for a skier/snowboarder. This had me thinking for a while as to how to go about it and make a card not so Christmassy with a skier/snowboarder on it!

I did a Google search for an image and first started with Honey from All That Scraps, well I printed her too small when it came to putting her on the card, so I gave up with her and Google'd again, and Toby from The Greetings Farm came up. So off I toddled to TGF Central, bought him and downloaded him. 

He looks not so very masculine in his purples, and hopefully will pass as a lady snowboarder lol

I've used Basic Grey Papers - Eskimo Kisses. Flowers from WOC, Sentiment stamp from Whimsy as is the die used to cut out the tickets.

I'm entering this card into two challenges

The first being  Create 4 Fun - which is a great sketch and the second is Stamp Something which this week is DIGI week! 

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment and I will strive to come visit you back!

Retro... Funky... Groovy!..

OooooooooTime for a card me thinks!

Over at the Kenny K's Krafy Girlz Challenge this week, the theme is LETS go RETRO!

I've not played along in many of the Kenny K's challenges, and have to admit its a shame cos all of the images are awesome. I have a fair few tucked away in a file on my pc, coloured a few, made cards with them but never blogged them as they've been tucked in envelopes and sent on their merry ways!

Well no more... I'm addicted to these girlz and boyz and you can guarantee that there is an image for what ever occasion you can be thinking of.

I've used 'All That' for this challenge, and I gave her some RETRO trousers. 

I was tired of doing full colours so played around with the black copic and a the copic fine liner and hey preseto - she's got herself some funky ZEBRA pants!

I've used Basic Grey papers from the Lime Ricky pack which are just gorgeous!

Coloured the image with Copics and added some Spica Orange to her trainers to give a little sparkle.

The edge punch is MS and the sentiment is computer generated.

 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Kenny K's Crafty Girlz - Lets go RETRO

Stamp Something - Digi Day
