M is for Men

Over on the Alphabet challenge blog the challenge for the week is M is for men. Always a tricky one!

For my card I have used a Wild Rose stamp, stamped in DI Black Soot and coloured with copics. the ribbon was from Stampin Up and the papers are wild asparagus. The Happy birthday stamp is from Tanda Stamps. I used some glossy accents on the beer glass to give the card a bit of dimension.

C is for Cats!

If you read my blog yesterday you will know that I just make a load of sample cards for The Treasury, my local specialist craft store in Kidderminster. If you live anywhere nearby you should definitely drop in...Patty has the Range and Hobbycraft on the doorstep, which are fine if you want what's available everywhere else, but for the really good stuff and the unusual she is really worth the visit. I've also noticed that she is charging less than Hobbycraft for her metallic stazon!

One of the sample cards that I made for Patty features a little girl holding her cat...so it's perfect for the Alphabet Challenge this week...C is for Cats...

The stamp is from Wild Rose Studio. I've coloured it using...you guessed it, copic markers with sakura clear star to provide a tiny bit of subtle shimmer...The papers are Jinkitz...Stamp, embossing folder, papers and punches are all available from The Treasury...(01562) 510203.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and getting lots of crafting time!

Another Fathers Day Card

On Wednesday I found the perfect stamp to make a Fathers Day card for my Husband...he's called Trophy Guy, the stamp, not my husband, and he is from Wild Rose Studio. I coloured the image with Copic markers and distressed the edges with distress ink. The trophy and rosette have been decoupaged and covered with glossy accents. The rattle and shoes have also been coated with glossy accents. The backing papers were bought in Hobby Craft, I cannot remember who they were by. I made the ribbon rosette using two widths of ribbon in co-ordinating colours. I just found a blog for cards for men and their challenge this week is to make a fathers day card, you can find "the challenge here"


Here's hoping that my hubby hasn't found my blog yet!

Catch you all later
