Bingo for Guyz

Good morning folks, hope you had a good Bank Holiday and you weren't stuck in horrendous traffic jams.

Another week over and it's time for a new challenge at Cardz4Guyz. This week we would like to see your creations based on this bingo board.

TWINE	BRADS	EMBOSSING
DISTRESSING	IMAGE	SENTIMENT
DIE CUT	BLUE	BUTTON/S

I chose the line Brads/ Image/ Blue for my card.

The image is one I have used before, Jippie Yeah, from Nellie Snellen's Young Rebels collection, coloured as usual with Copics as follows:-

Brown - E30,31,33,35,37,39

Blue - B12,14,18,000,00,02

Grey - C0,3,5,7,10

Skin - E000,00,11,R20

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.

I shall also enter it in the challenge at Sieze the Sketch -  #19

Love Rubberstamps - Anything goes

Thanks for popping over see you back soon.

LIM three shades and/or colour

Evening all, here is a little something I finished yesterday but did not get around to posting.

Over at Less is More they are asking for creations that include three colours or three shades of the same colour. For me that is far too much freedom, I work better when I am more constricted. However, I did put my mind to it while playing around with a new stamp, from Paula Pascal set I got a couple of weeks ago.

At first I was disappointed by the size of the stamps but having had a play they worked fine.

I used three different colours to stamp the tag, Worn Lipstick DI and 2 Colour Palette greens. The greeting was stamped in, Memento London Fog.

I shall also enter it in the Inkspirational Challenge - Pink and Green

I suggested that Di had a go too so here is her 1st blog card.

She inked 3 shades of red through plaster board tape then overstamped a Marion Emberson seed head then added some liquid pearls to some of the heads.

Better get back to my guest now, I don't want to appear rude!

I'm Late

In the words of the White Rabbit. 'I'm late I'm late'.

I have been meaning to enter a card in this week's Muse but as I have my friend Di over I haven't had as much time to blog as Di brought some of her stash with her and I've been playing!

By the way I must thank all those fellow Muse members who voted my entry last week into the top 3, it means more when fellow crafters vote for your efforts. This week the muse is Gillian Ross with this delicate baby card.

and this is my take-

Di brought down a set of Spellbinders sentiments to try so I used this one and combined it with a LOTV sentiment stamp. I blinged it up by replacing the dot over the i with a tiny crystal heart.

I shall also enter it in the CAS on Sunday - Glitter and sparkle challenge

Electric at CAS-ology

Afternoon all.

Just got back from a jaunt  to do a little retail craft therapy with Di. What a good excuse it is to take a good friend with you shopping. We got what we went for and lots of goodies as well!

I made this card the other day but didn't have chance to blog yesterday as I was mowing the grass with the new mower, I'm getting better but I can't quite maneuver it into the corners!

The challenge at CAS- ology is the cue word ELECTRIC.

The image was stamped then embossed with white detail powder on black. The rays of light were made using a small Versacolour ink in yellow.

Another quick post as Di is still here and we have some more crafting time to fit in.

Grunge

Evening folks.

Late posting today as my friend Di is down for a few days for a change of scene. Since she injured her knee skiing at half term she hasn't been able to drive or go shopping so we had a bit of retail therapy and picked up a few bargains along the way. So not much crafting but I do have a card I made earlier in the week, inspired by the latest challenge at Addicted to CAS. Their cue word is Grunge.

This card uses a couple of recent purchases, my Tim Holtz grunge stencil and my Memory Box die 'Birthday'.

I used a silver grey base card with stripe of grunge diagonally across the bottom half of the card. I made the panel by inking through the stencil using, Weathered Wood, Frayed Burlap and Pumice Stone DI and then edged with faux stitching. The die cut birthday word was stuck along the top edge of the strip with a stamped WISHES on the bottom edge.

OK better not leave my guest on her own much longer so that's it for today.
