Anchors Aweigh!!!!!!

Its time for another challenge over at Stampin for the weekend. This time round we want you to show us your style. Not just any style but your style!. It could be girly, clean and simple, distressed, vintage, layers, any thing you can think if that you think reflects your style. The sponsor for this challenge is.......

The pretty little ribbon show

Take a wander over there because they have some fabulous items and if that's not good enough they are having a sale at the moment so you could grab yourself a bargain. Ok so onto my DT card....

I am not sure what you would call my style? layers maybe. I like to use 3 0r 4 different patterned papers on my cards and if the bottom edge of the card is shaped all the better!

The papers that I have used are Portobello Road by Papermania. They complement this gorgeous

Mo Manning sailor boy so well. I coloured him using my trusty copic markers. The little stamp die is office supplies by Spellbinder. The stamp used is from the Portobello road postage/passport collection. to finish of I used some ribbon from my stash and made bunting with a doohickey die by Magnolia.

Thanks for stopping by.

Diva's DT card: Summer time Saturated canary

Good morning everyone. It's time for a new challenge over at Diva's by Design. The challenge this week is Summer time. Now don't all laugh at once we must be optimistic and believe that the sun will make an appearance at some point in the UK this summer!!!!! Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles.

For this card I have used a gorgeous stack by First Edition called Boho. I cant seem to get enough of these papers at the moment. /the image is another fabby by Krista Smith at Saturated Canary called springtime. But the challenge is Summer time I hear you shout, I know this despite the constant torrential rain. I just think the image and the paper have a lazy summer feel about them.

I have distressed all of the edges with distress ink in walnut stain for a warmer feel. I also used a memory box die for the flowers , nesties for my image and the doohickey lace die for my edge. All of the other bit and pieces are from my stash.

The image has been coloured using copic markers.

Dont forget to check out the other Diva's for inspiration.

Happy 9th Birthday

Afternoon everyone. I hope that you have all been enjoying the lovely weather. I have taken full advantage when work lets me!!!!!. Christopher had his Go karting party on Friday and much fun was had by all. Some of the dads could not resist and had to have a go. Chris enjoyed it so much he now wants to take it up as a hobby, much to his dads delight. Apparently he is a natural!.
Right enough waffle and on to my card.....................

I was commissioned to make this card for a rugby loving 9 year old called Oscar. It gave me a great opportunity to use a Lilli of the Valley stamp that has never been inked before. I drew inspiration from the team my son plays for the Wanstead Herons 12 and under.

The papers are a boys stack by My Minds Eye. The banner has been cut using a Doohickey die and letters cut using my Cricut. Another first for me was using a neglected set of nesties from the labels range.

As you can see I also broke out the sewing machine. I am really happy with the way this one came out as I struggle with boy cards.
