Armchair Bear CAS Style

I really am going back to my routes with a more clean and simple style and although I really do mix up my card styles CAS is where I started. This little number didn't start off this way, in fact I just couldn't find a DP the right colour so I gave up and decided to cut it out and put it straight on a card blank that I had printed a sentiment onto. I love it so much I'm going to do the same with a couple more images as quick fathers day cards. Here it is...

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
CES Challenge - Clean & Simple
Do It With Digis - It's All About the Boys ( Used Digi Sentiment).

Card Recipe

Promarkers: Cardinal, Caramel, Cocoa, Sandstone,

Putty, Cool Grey 1, Cornflower, China Blue, Cobalt Blue, Blender

Hope you have a fab day and thanks for visiting....

Being Together - Cards for Men DT

It's Monday again and time for another challenge at Cards for Men and this week its Black & Blue and we are sponsored by Heartsong Designs.  Here is my card....

I've used the Hot Air Balloon image from the sponsor and coloured in the balloon part with promarkers ( Mignight & Powder blue).  I then cut this out and added in some twine from The Ribbon Girl.  I then re-printed the image in some kraft paper to get the basket.  The clouds are made from cotton wool and I've used an image from Scrap-a-Licious. 

Hope you all get to visit the rest of the fab DT.  Enjoy the challenge and good luck

Iris

Well I did get a little telling off yesterday for replacing the white with pink at Less is More and I should have probably done shades of pink so I thought I would have another crack at a fully Monotone card... this time with shades of purple.... Here is my very simple card....

The stamp is from Penny Black Allegro T for Transparent inked with Memento Grape Jelly, the ribbon from stash and I've added just a touch of Faerie Kisses Diamond Sparkles...

I'll be back tomorrow.....

Field of Flowers...

This weeks My Partner in Crafting Crime is to use an Uncoloured Image so I thought I would give this a go...So using the sketch from The Sugar Bowl #61 (Theme - Love) and an yet to be inked Gorjuss stamp here is the card.....

The image is Poppy Fields and I have stamped this with Emboss ink and the heat embossed it using black powder (just to stop it looking so flat). The papers are from Stampin Up's Sweet Pea stack and I've made little rolled roses using a circle nestie and cutting it into a spiral. A few pearls from the hobby house are added around the flowers. It's finished off with a simple sentiment printed off from PC ( font is Anke Print).

I'm entering it into the following challenges....

My Partner in Crafting Crime -  Uncoloured Image 
The Sugar Bowl - #61 Sketch with optional Love/Wedding Theme
Diva's in Design - Florals
A Spoonful of Sugar - 154 Flower Power

Hope you like it.... I think I quite like the non-coloured effect

Aeroplane

Well I have had a manic afternoon transforming my craft room from the mess below.... after my ribbon storage fell over and broke :-(

to this.....

But I thought I would sneak in a little card using Aeroplane from LOTVs latest release and following the sketch from The Sweet Stop # 111. 

I've coloured this in with promarkers ( satin, sandstone, cool grey 1, caramel, almond, sunkissed pink, mustard, buttercup, pear green, marsh green, moss & blender).  The DPs are from a fabulous set that arrived in the post this morning thanks to the wonderful as a gift to help me get to the magic 100 cards from Mandi... they are Stampin Ups Sweet Pea stack and they are gorgeous and I now want to buy more Stampin Up stuff.....
Twine is from the ribbon girl and buttons ( I think they are basic grey) are from stash.  I've printed off a simple sentiment from my PC using homemade apple pie font.

I'm entering this into the following challenges...

The Sweet Stop - #111 Sketch
Charisma Cardz - #22 Something that Flies
Craft Your Days Away - #21 Fathers Day

Hope you like it.... I'm off to watch CSI now

Black & Pink - Monochrome @ LIM

Happy Saturday LIMettes.... Can't believe it's time for another challenge at Less is More and this week it's monochrome.  So I thought about traditional Black and White... but in the end I thought the pink would be far more dramatic... here it is...

The stamps are Tim Holtz from stamper anonymous and they are stamped with black memento onto a pink card blank that I had previously ruined lol.  This is then cut out with a nestie. I've added yet another butterfly and then I've then used an embossing folder (I'll try and find out the name lol) and then and a little bit of ribbon.  It was a 6 x 6 card blank but due to the embossing folder not being quite wide enough... I had to trim it slightly lol.

I'll be back later in the week and I promise I'll have time for some more commenting this week :-)

Champion Ted

Well. fathers day is just around the corner and there are few challenges that are "Man" focused especially from the new challenge " Here Comes the Boys" with a theme this week of Father/Husband and since I managed the Top 3 on last times challenge I thought I would have another bash.
I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday #157  and I'm entering it into Crafting For All Season #2 - Fathers Day and Passion for Promarkers - Sporting Marvels. I thought I would use another of the new LOTV stamps and here is my card....

The image is LOTV No 7 Bear and have coloured this in with promarkers ( Putty, Cardinal, Caramel, Cocoa, Burnt Sienna and Cool Grey 1). The spotty black paper is Pink Petticoat and the Twine from the Ribbon Girl.  Buttons and white ribbon are from my stash... Sentiment is courier and printed from PC.

Hope you like it....
