The Sugar Bowl - Challenge #10

Hello everyone. Hope your are all well. This card is for The Sugar Bowl Challenge #10 which is a sketch designed by Marlene. This was a great sketch to work with. In fact, over the course of the weekend all the family will have done it, lol! I decided I wanted to use 'Hamish Fixin' (coloured with Distress Inks) by Sugar Nellie for this one and my new papers which are from Nitwit Collections - Assembly Too Selection.

The challenge also has a 'Please Include' and this week it was buttons. So, off I went to B&Q this afternoon and bought these tiny wee nuts to add to each corner of my image. And, I also cut out some small circles, pushed a couple of holes through them with a pin and threaded some blue thread through for 'proper' buttons. The greeting was done on the pc and circles cut with nesties on the bug.


For the inside, I decided I wanted a large nut to match the design on the front. I drew one myself and the circle is meant to be a screw head, lol!

Hope you like it. I loved making it - was great fun to make and I am really pleased with the way it has turned out.

Hugs

Another card for Grandad

This is the card that I made for the kids to give my dad for his birthday. It's more of a younger persons image but never mind. I have started with a white, square base card. The image is coloured with usual inktense pencils and watered. It's then mounted onto some blue card and the corners rounded. I mounted this onto a white sheet which I ran through the bug using the music embossing folder and mounted onto blue card again. I stuck it all onto base card and added some black music notes which were cut with the bug and music dies.

Birthday Card For Dad

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for being a terrible blogger recently. Just when I was starting to do well at keeping it up-to-date, and then it all goes to pot. I have been very busy trying to get the cards done for my Christmas orders and therefore, I haven't had time to do much. Anyway, they are all done now so, it's back to normal for a while. This card is one that I made for my Dads birthday. The papers are from dovecraft, I think. A very simple card. I covered the base A4 card with the papers. The boot is stamped and then coloured with inktense pencils and watered. It is then mounted onto latte coloured card and mounted with foam pads onto the base card. The message on the front, which reads 'It's your birthday. Time to...' is done on my pc and mounted the same way as the boot. And finally, the message inside is done on the pc and stuck with some double-sided tape and reads 'Give another year the boot'.
