Male room challenge

Over at The Male Room challenge they are asking for our cards to have trees on them .This is a very old stamp but love how it looks with nightime colours.

I stamped it directly on top of the distress ink background.Then used promarkers for the lights in the windows and then wink of stella on the roof ,trees ,fence and little  bits of the snow.Everyone needs a bit of sparkleSome perfect pearls on the background to mimic falling snow.(It kinda of reminds me of a snow globe :) and to finish it I added a popped up sentiment.

Thanks for looking

Color Throwdown Challenge

I was so chuffeed to see my card as the featured stamper on the Colored Throwdown Challenge last week ...I ddi a happy dance ! :)

I was sent what this weeks colour challenge was , which were the colours red,blue and yellow.I quickly trolled through some stamps as initially I thought a childrens card then came across these Clearly Besotted love birds/parrots and thought that they would make a great anniversary card or even an engagements card! I coloued them in with my promarkers and even coloured the little leave with blue and yellow to make it green :) and then fussy cutted them out - don't look too close please!Then added some foam dotsto pop them up on the heart and finished with one of the sentiments from the set .

I would never have thought of doing hese colours but love it ,so thank you Color Throwdown  for pushing me out of my comfort zone !

Thamk you for looking

 P.s and once I have worked it out I will also be proud to add their banner to my side bar...any suggestions on how I do this gratefully received ! :) x

 

Red,Greenand Blue

 

While l was looking for inspiration today I came across the Color Throwdown challenge and it just straight away made me think of a snowman with the blue sky behind him.

I used a Penny Black snowman stamp and then blended some blue chalk for the card using a circle mask for the winter sun, after I had coloured my snowman with promarkers I used a little bit of wink of stella to mimic some frosty sparkle.I then added the sentiment one from years a go but one that is still one of my favourites for Christmas,before popping my image up on foam and that was it  done!

Hope you like it and thanks for looking !

James Bond birthday

 It has been a while since I took part in a challenge but when I saw the challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge blog was masculine card I just had to take part! My husband loves a James Bond movie and I got this digi image free in a magazine years and years ago and decide to make a card for him .I think I took me longer to line up and get it straight an old SU happy birthday sentiment ,than it did to make the rest of the card :)

Apologies about the photograph it has been raining here in scotland and so even with a daylight light not as sharp as I would have liked it - or maybe it is just my phone :) 

 Thanks for taking the time to look

Kraft Red and White

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

After struggling to use the colours Red ,white and Kraft for the CAS Christmas card Challenge, I found myself making another card using it!

 I used a SSS stamp and a sentiment that says 'snowflakes are winters butterflies' and addition of a small gem and another card made !

 

Since coming back into blogland I have really struggled using what to me is the new blogger(I am such a dinosaur with IT) so I want to say a huge thank you to Michele Ferguson who took the time to face time me and help me understand where I was going wrong..thank you again! Now to see if it works again :)

Thanks for taking the time to look

Kraft,Red and White

                   

 Loll over at the Cas Christmas Challenge has set us the task of making a card using Kraft,red and white and what a challenge it was for me I rarely use Kraft card !

In fact I had only one sheet of it in the house but thank you Loll for challenging me to try something different  and actually I quite liked the coulours when I had finished :)

I used the MFT merry christmas die and the snowflake Im sure is a old SU one but as I have grouped all of my snowflakes together Im not sure if it is??

I finished off the snowflake with some bling just because Christmas cards need a bit of bling to sparkle in the fairy lights :)

Thanks for taking the time to look
