Man Card

It's the 15th so there is a new Sparkles monthly challenge starting today

the new theme is

'for men'

here is my take

 I used my stamps which were of what men like

they are all coloured and have 3d enamel effects and glossy accents on them where needed

I finished it off with a red border and a die cut sentiment

so have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own man paper project to enter

see you there

Elephant party

The new Cardz 4 Galz challenge starts today

the theme is

'zoo or safari animals' (my choice)

here is my take

 

I used my elephant stamps to make 3 elephants at a party

the three elephants were stamped and coloured 

the balloon I stamped and cut out to stick on later

I chose a rainbow paper from my stash

the grass is just two tones of green

to finish there is a glitter glue border and 3d enamel effect balloon string 

so have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own paper project to enter

see you there

Gift Parachutes

Here is the new Winter Wonderland challenge

the theme this month is

'Christmas presents' (my choice!)

the sponsor this month is Stampers Delights

the digi I got to play with is Xmas gift parachute

the gift parachute and the tree come as different images so you can really play with this one

I arranged the tree with two gift parachutes, printed and coloured them in 

The sentiment was heat embossed and I added the falling holly with a stamp

The snow under the tree is 'puff embossing powder', which expands, or 'puffs', when you heat it, and I love to use it for snow or clouds

Using a white gel pen to on the baubles and berries is a great way to make them look shiny

so have a look at Winter Wonderland and make your own Christmas paper project to enter

Chickie Birthday

Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz Challenge 

the new theme is

'things with wings'

I have used my cute chicks

I stamped my chicks, cake and sentiment and because it is a card for Galz I gave them a pink colour scheme

They are mounted on pink patterned paper, decorated with nuvo drops and I added a glitter glue border

so have a look at Cardz for Galz and make your own 'winged' paper project to enter

Big and Small

Welcome to a new Sparkles Monthly challenge

this months new theme is

'something big and something small'

so a big image and a small sentiment or a big animal with a small one

I have used a big sentiment with a small image

The small cake on a cloud is a stamp and die cut image

Kraft

 Here is the new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the new theme is

'use kraft'

here is my take

I heat embossed the sentiment, added the lines top and bottom and freehand drew zentangle 'flowers' using a black fine liner pen and a white gel pen

I have drawn similar patterns on black card with a white pen but this is my first time drawing on kraft.  I found it was a bit uneven although this is packaging card perhaps if I bought kraft card it might be smoother but I've never felt the need to buy it

So have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own kraft project to enter
