Fall fence

Bugaboo Stamps who are offering 4 digis as their prize

   I printed the sunflower pattern onto pearlescent paper and matted it onto spice coloured paper. I then attached green satin ribbon to the corner before matting it onto white card. The digi image from Bugaboo Stamps called Fall fence was coloured using Promarkers. I then fussy cut it and attached it to the card using foam pads.

   This week the challenge at QKR Stampede has the theme of anything goes with the twist of wild west.
   I have used the digi little cowboy (number 24206) and after colouring it using Promarkers with gel pen on the gun and leg coverings I dusted the edges using distress ink. I then matted and layered it onto red gingham, red mirri and white card. Finally I added a gold peel off sentiment.

Anyone for tennis?

   This week at QKR Stampede the theme for the challenge  is anything goes with the twist of keep your eye on the ball.
   Using one of Tattered Laces card shapes circle dies I created an easel card base. The papers are from Free Craft Downloads and i matted one onto the base of the card and the other onto green card stock before attaching it to the front of the easel card.
   The image called playing tennis (number 16219) was coloured using Promarkers. After cutting it out using an oval die I matted it onto green card and attached it to the card front.
   I used a tattered Lace long reach embossing folder to emboss the white oval card used for the easel stop and coloured the sentiment using a Promarker pen. I then matted this onto green card and attached it to the base of the card using foam pads.

The wrinkles jaws!

   Crafty Cardmakers has their first challenge after the summer break beginning today. The theme is under the sea or at the beach.
   I have used a paper from La Pashe Ltd's  set of  The Wrinkles at the Movies. I decoupaged the image and attached it to the centre of white card. I then cut a circle in the centre of a square of coloured card and attached acetate cut from some packaging to the back of it. Using a slightly darker tone of card I cut a ring to fit round the aperture to make a 'porthole'. I then added some card candi to this ring. Finally I added the sentiment.

Honest!

   This week the theme for the QKR Stampede challenge is shaped cards along with anything goes.
   I have made a trifold card with the front fold cut around the image.
   This front image is called honest (number 13308) and after colouring using Promarkers I fussy cut the right hand side of it. I wrapped two rows of ribbon round the left hand side of the card tieing them together with another short piece of ribbon. This I then matted onto the front of the card and cut round the image. Using Tattered Lace dies I cut out the letters and numbers.
 

    I printed a second image called fingers crossed (number 13311) the same size as the first. After colouring it using Promarkers I fussy cut it and attached it to the third fold so that it was positioned behind the image on the front of the card.

   The centre fold contained the sentiment cut out using Tattered Lace dies.
