Robbie Walking......Card for a boy

The challenge this week at Creative Card Crew is to make a card for a child or baby.... I opted to make a card for a boy, when I came across a certain stamp in my stash.



This cute image of 'Robbie Walking' is from Cuddly Buddly, coloured with copics. The papers are a HOTP pad I bought recently, I just love the vivid colours. The stars are cut from a flower punch (SU! punch) and run through an embossing folder, then inked on the embossing and round the edges.

There is a fabby prize up for grabs again this week, go on over to Creative Card Crew to see what it is and the rest of the DT's take on this challenge.

I am going to enter this card into the Create 4 Fun and Charisma Cards challenges this week.

Rocking Scalloped Card!

Here is the card I was trying out last night. The idea of the scalloped edge came from the DCWV templates I have seen around lately and I spent the evening working out how I could join the 2 templates together.

I cut my templates using the Accent Essentials cricut cartridge and then stuck the 2 pieces together using acetate and DS tape. I also cut 2 templates in paper to go inside the card to cover the ds tape.

I used Katharina's sketch 26 to decorate the card and used my new Rockstar Sugar Nellie that I ordered recently. This is the first card I have made using this image, thought it would be great for boys cards. I coloured the image in with Marvys and put glossy accents on the guitar. Sentiment from Cuddly Buddly and spirelli shape cut from Accent Essentials cartridge also - really pleased I managed to get hold of this cartridge, I use it quite a lot and there are still lots of shapes I haven't cut yet!

I have given my blog a makeover lately, and thanks to Rach, have now managed to add my signature to my postings ! Just need a makeover myself now, have lost just over 1 stone on WW diet, really pleased as thought I wouldn't do very well over the holidays but managing to stick to it fairly well! Need to go shopping now for some new clothes - any excuse.....

Hippy Chick

We have been busy in the garden this weekend, laying a new patio, repotting plants, trimming shrubs etc when the weather allowed, so no time to craft until tonight......

Here is my entry from PTW, which is another of Katharina's great sketches. I love working with them, as it encourages me to use lots of different papers, something I would otherwise probably not do - gets me out of my comfort zone LOL !

CS - Paper Mill, BP - Glamour Prints, Dovecraft, Image - Dimension Fourth, Sentiment - Cuddly Buddly. Image coloured with Gelly Rolls, Marvys and watercolour brush.
