Sailing

Back again as it's a double post Tuesday morning again!

It's time for a new challenge over at Cardz4Guyz. This week we would like to see your creations on the theme of -

SAILING

When I saw this I knew immediately which stamp I would use. So without further delay here is my card.

Yep the observant of you will spot a LOTV stamp, Sailing Boat. Isn't he the cutest thing and perfect for a little boys birthday. I have made this for Nich's stash as I'm sure Ben will need one soon!

Now if you've read my earlier post you may see a theme going on here with the central panel. I started to use this for the previous challenge then changed my mind when I saw the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. Instead of putting the image centrally and using a square mount I used the central circle, embossed using a chevron EF and a Go Create die for the shaped white panel.

The little boy was coloured using Copics to match the DP from NitWits Aye Aye Captain set and then fussy cut. The greeting is from a Woodware set. The edge of the card and the circle die cut were inked using the same Copic blue as used on the shorts.

OK, check out the rest of the DT over at the main blog and why not join us this week, we'd love to see you.

I'd also like to join in at -

Wheely fun

Morning all. 

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

WHEELS

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.

This little fella is from LOTV and the layout is based on this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. Quite a simple design but perfect for a bloke. The papers are from NitWits and buttons from the stash. I used Copics to colour as follows:-

Hair - Y21,25,YR24,E25

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.

Sailing

Evening folks, thanks for popping by. 

The weather appears to have calmed down for a while, just some heavy showers this dinnertime. Hope everyone is safe and sound after all the mayhem. 

I've been in the wars again, slipped down the last few stairs yesterday evening! Must take more water with it, LOL. Suffering a little today as I can't sit  or keep any position for long. A hot water bottle is the answer but working out how to keep it in the right place is troublesome.

But I have managed to make a card today that is not for a DT post. It's kept me busy and taken my mind off my sore back.

This effort was made using the sketch from Sweet Stamping and the image is influenced by LOTV's latest challenge, Name that tune. I have been wrecking my brains for a song to go with one of my stamps. I decided on 'Sailing' by Rod Stewart, a favourite of mine from way back.

The papers are from the Nit Wits 'Aye Aye Captain' collection, the brads from a Papermania capsule collection which have been sat in my drawer for a long time. The circular sentiment is from LOTV also.

The little boy and his yacht were coloured using Copics as usual, as follows:-

Hair - E30, 31, 33, 37

Boat - B000, 23, 24, B32 Y21, 26, 28

Sails, T-shirt - C0,3,blender

Shoes - E71, 77, 79

Skin - E000, 00, 11 R20

I shall enter it for the following challenges-

Sweet Stamping Challenge - sketch

Allsorts - brads

ATSM - Make your mark

LOTV - Name that tune ( Sailing)

Well that's about it for today. Thanks for calling around, see you again sometime.
