DETAILS

1. Card size is 7 x 7 and I matted it with kraft card.

2. Next layer is white hammered card and I created
the pricking around the edges and then wrapped
orange spotty satin ribbon across the centre before
adhering to the card.

3. Again kraft card for the next layer but this time
I used the Tonic pricking layering die.

4. The image was printed onto super smooth and
coloured with Copic and still with the Tonic die
only the next size down I cut out and then
adhered it to the kraft card with foam tape.
Foam tape again used on the kraft card to
adhere to the card and I wanted to have the
added height.
To complete I die the sentiment from kraft card.

I was very please the way this has turned out and
really enjoyed colouring these cuties.

Well that's all from me so,
Until Next Time

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors.

Hope everything is fine and dandy with you all
and that you are having a great Easter break?

  Our latest challenge # 128  has started  over at

 Dream Valley 

The challenge runs every fortnight , posted every other Monday.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is 

 GIRLIE

    and we are sponsored this fortnight by

All Dressed Up

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/alldressedupstamps


I have used the image Girl on a Bike and should
you wish to purchase here, then just click on the link
HERE. 
The girls on the design team have made some lovely
cards for your inspiration, so why not pop along and
take a look and maybe leave them so love along the way?.

DETAILS

              1 Using the Tonic Ornate Layering Frames die set

     I used the largest one and cut two out of 

            rainbow card that was in my stock to create

my card base.

      2   To this I attached a paper doily.  Then once

            the image has been coloured  using Copics

       I used the next size down die in the set

       to cut her out.   Before I took the image

     out of the die I distressed it around the

edges .  This digi from our sponsor

        is one I already had in my collection and

             I chose to use her as I think she is so pretty.

3.    I found in my stash this very pretty daisy 

    ribbon and used it along the bottom of

         the card and two steps diagonally  across

the image.

To complete I added a butterfly sticker and flowers 

from my stash and voila there you have it my

girlie card.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take care and Happy Crafting

Today we are starting our new 

challenge  # 201  over at :-

  Ooh La La Challenge Blog

The challenge theme is

Feathered Friends 

and its been chosen our lovely Wynn 

I have chosen to use an image from the  Boys To Men,
 cd.  I really like this cd as it contains many design that
are just perfect for those hard to make male related
card. You can purchase it along with many more just

 by clicking on the link  HERE.

The prize for the winner will be

2 digi downloads from the Ooh La La Creations Store

DETAILS

1. I have started with a 7 x 7 white card and to this I have

attached black card.

2. Using the cd Boys to  Men I printed off the backing paper

and topper.  The backing  paper was attached to the black

card.

3. Using Sue Wilson Tag dies I created six tags, three from

    black card and three from part of the left over backing paper.

I then adhered the tags together and arranged them onto

my card.

4. The topper has been mounted onto black card then 

adhered to the card using foam pads at an angel.

To complete I took the sentiment from my stash and again

adhered to the card using foam pads.

So, there you have it, I hope you will agree that this card

would be perfect to give to any of those men in our

lives and so simple to achieve but looks very effective.

Until Next Time

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

We are here again with our latest  Challenge # 269 at

 Penny's Paper Crafty.

 The theme this week is

ANYTHING GOES

and

Prize 3 Digi image of winners choice

For my card I have used the image Tommy Boy
from Kenny K Stamps, I really had fun colouring
this image. If you would like to purchase it, then
please click on the link HERE.

DETAILS

1. Started with a 7 x 7 white card blank and created an
aperture in the centre using an oval die from Prescut.

2. Using MCS I found a backing paper, printed it out
before adhering to the card I used the same oval
die to create another aperture.

3. The image was printed onto super smooth and coloured
using Copic.  I then die cut it and adhered to the inside
of the card making sure  it lined up with aperture.

4. I took black card and created the cogs corner and  the
loose cogs with Memory Box dies. They were then
buffed over using Red  Buff It from Pinfair. I was
pleased with the rusty  effect  that was produced.
The corner die was adhered flat to the card but
     the cogs were stuck using my glue gun and I wanted
then to be raised.

To complete I again took black card used the red Buff It
and then die cut the sentiment.

That's all from me today, my friends, hope to see you
over on the challenge blog.
