Will's Birthday Card

Morning all.

Just a quick post to show a card I made for my daughter's friend's son's birthday. Gosh that's a lot of possessive apostrophes for one sentence.

When she asked if I would make a card, I thought that Will was only 2 but she said that he was going to be his 3rd birthday!

I can't believe how quickly the time is going, it only seems a short while ago that he was born.

Will has really ginger hair just like his sister, so I coloured this little chap's from Nellie Snellen to match. 

I used the sketch at CASe this Sketch and the colours at Colour Throwdown as my inspiration as it is orange, red, blue and yellow. The paper from Nit Wits was just perfect for this card and I cut a star with a Marianne die and a 3 from my MFT little numbers die. The sentiment was a freebie. The little Indian was stamped then coloured with Copics to match the paper and challenge before fussy cutting him out. The star I mounted flat but popped the little chap up on pads.

That's it then.

Recipe at Cards4Guyz

Good morning folks, I hope you had a good extended weekend and the weather wasn't too wet.
It's Tuesday so it's another challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This week Kim was in charge of the theme and she went for a recipe.

1, 2, 3 

That means that we need you to tell us what you have included on your card that matches the numbers.
In my DT card I used
1 - image
2 - DPs
3 - types of cardstock

 The DPs were from the stash and the matt silver card stock is also from the stash, I've had it  for nigh on ten years! 

I used a Marianne star die for the star and cut the silver one down to leave a peek of brown showing. The greeting is by Molly Bloom and it was stamped using brown Versafine.

The layout of the card is based on the latest sketch over at Sketch Saturday.

Well that's about it, so why don't you pop over to the other DT have for you and then have a go!

The DP is from NitWits, Candles and Cake collection, card and brads from the stash. The blue strip across the bottom of the card  was made using a MS edge punch.

Chinese Year of the Horse

Friday is the start of the Chinese New Year so our theme this week at Cards4Guyz is:-

Anything to do with Horses

When Caz suggested this subject I was beginning to panic as I didn't think I could come up with a design, but I racked my brains and then remembered my little boy on a toy horse stamp from the Young Rebels series by Nellie Snellen.

I love this cheeky little boy, just right for a youngster's birthday. As usual I coloured him using Copics as follows:-

Horse - C10,7,5,3,0,blender R20

Hair, Harness boots etc - E53,55,57,59

Jeans -B93,95,97,99

Scarf - YG11,13,17

Shirt - YR12,15,16 

Hat - C3,0,blender

Skin - E000,00,11,R22

The background papers were sloshing around in the stash and were edged in Broken China distressed ink. The border was cut using a Doo Hickey star border die, the leftover stars were dotted around the bottom half of the card. The rope is just a length of string knotted then looped to form a lasso. The star was cut from the same paper as the border and edged in Broken China. The number was cut using an Ellison alphabet die set- Block Party. The greeting was from a Personal Impressions set. 

I shall enter this project in the following challenges:-

Clear it out - Blue

Sketchy colours - Blue,green,white

Cute card Thursday - Sweet

Crafty calender - Lets Celebrate

Well that's about it for now see you all later and thanks for popping round.
