Wheely fun

Morning all. 

It's Tuesday so that means another challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This week we what to see your projects with -

That could mean lots of things and one or two things came to mind, including a ship's wheel but in the end I came up with this.

Blue - B32,34,38,95

Dog - E30,31,33,35,37

Metal, saddle,and tyres - C0,3,5,7,10

Shorts - E71,77,79

I shall enter it in the following challenges:-

Sketch Saturday - #306

The Male Room - Man's best friend
Time Out Challenges - Happy Birthday with a twist of Masculine

Well why don't you pop over to see what the rest of the team have done with the theme, then join in the fun.

In the Country

Good afternoon, thanks for dropping by. What an awful Sunday it is, rain rattling on the roof and lights on just so you can see. Just the day for holing up in my craftroom and getting crafty. 

I am still without a computer and I am having to borrow my husband's work one. All my links and bookmarks have gone with the old computer so I can't find some of my new challenges. Never mind, it made me find some new ones! The only problem is finding pictures of my cards to enter as although I managed the last picture it was not the usual quality. 

I have been making a card for my son to give his dad on his birthday in a couple of weeks. 

I love the LOTV stamp 'In The Country' and it is just the right image for this card. I also recently found a Hobby Art stamp of Sheep in a field, so I decided to put them together and used the sketch from my last Sketch Saturday entry, plus a LOTV greeting. Hopefully I can download a picture unlike last night when I tried!

I coloured the image using Copics AS FOLLOWS

Skin:- E000,E00,E11, R11

Sky:- B000, B00, BG02, C1,C3, E50

Trees and fields:- YG 11, YG13, YG17, YG00, YG61, YG63,YG67, G99

House and wall :- E02,E09, E08, BV25, C3, C5, C7

Fence:- E42,E43,E47,E71,E77

The cap was stamped on patterned paper and edged in E71, E77

Coat :- E71, E77, E79

Jeans:-BG93, BG95, BG97

Dog:- E31, E33, E35

The backing papers were NitWits In the Meadow mounted on some craft paper and all edged in Tim Holtz frayed burlap distress ink.

The string was from the utility room and the tape from the stash.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:-

The Ribbon Girls:- Lili of the Valley, Anything goes

Sir Stampalot Challenge:- All Creatures Great and Small

The ABC Challenge:- W for words

Thanks for dropping by.

Monochrome wedding

Hi there, thanks for dropping by. The sun is shining again and all looks good for a decent weekend.

I have been blog hopping again and came across a couple of challenges which I think I may enter. I never realized how many talented people there are out there. If you put in a search for images you don't always get what you want in the results. There's so much more inspiration out there.

I was inspired to create this card while searching through blog land. (Is there such a word?)

The challenges were Sketch Saturday  Creative Inspirations,the Crafty Ribbons Challenge and Crafty Little Fairies. I will also have another go at the LOTV challenge ribbons and lace

I rather like the idea of having a sketch challenge, sometimes its very useful when your craft mojo has gone walkabout.

This card uses one of my favourite LOTV stamp and the papers are embossed using a couple of embossing folders. The hearts are from Mei flower and ribbon from the stash. The edges of the papers were edged with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

I have to take the dog to the vets later this afternoon for his booster jabs so I better get on and sign off for the moment.

Cheers

Well back from the vets and Max is fine if his pride is a little hurt.
