Hi

Just a quick post this evening to show you this New Baby card I've made. 

I love this little stamp, which I received from my friend Paola.  Thanks Paola! 

I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured it using my Copic Markers.

I used Nellies Multi Frames Scalloped Ovals to cut the image and then threaded the blue ribbon through the holes and tied it in a bow.  The paper and card are from my stash.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafts and Me - Use Ribbon

One Stitch at a Time - New Baby

One Stop Craft Challenge - Monochrome

Really Reasonable Ribbons Challenge - Use Dies or Punches and Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today.

TIME! For A Card

  
Hi

I have a masculine themed card to show you today.

The clock stamp and sentiment are from a Stampin' Up set called Sense of Time - a fabulous set for making those cards for men!!!!  

The embossing is made using brown card and a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder called Clockworks.  After running it through my Sizzix Big Shot, I lightly inked the surface with embossing ink and brushed it with Bronze Perfect Pearls. 

To finish it off I decided to add some garden string, which I think adds some interesting texture and is more masculine than ribbon. 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - Embossing
The Stamp Man - Embossing
A Spoonful Of Sugar - Tons of Texture (use at least two different types of texture, I've used embossing and garden string)
Cards for Men - Embossing


RECIPE:

Image & Sentiment: Sense of Time Set from Stampin' up
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Ranger Clear Embossing Ink
Paper & Card: From my Stash
Tools: Clockworks Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and Nesties Small & Large Circles with Sizzix Big Shot.  Stampin' Up Corner Rounder
Others: Distressing Tool, Perfect Pearls and Garden String

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like it.

Mikey The Fox

   
Hi

Here's Mikey the Fox.  He's one of the many adorable little critters designed by Marina Neira, and available as digi images at The Stamping Bazaar. 

I love his cute little angel wings, don't you?   I coloured him using my Primsacolor Pencils which I blend using Sansodor and paper stumps. 

I cut Mikey out using a Nellie Multiframes Die and then threaded some ribbon though the holes - I think it looks quite effective.  The papers are all from my stash.  The ticket is stamped from a sentiment set from Whimsy Stamps and I used a Ticket Die, also from Whimsy Stamps, to cut it out.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Flutter by Wednesday - Open Challenge
C.R.A.F.T. - Animals / Pets
Dream Valley - Things with Wings

Tomorrow's Design Team Inspiration will come to you from Susan, so don't forget to stop by her blog The Two Pink Ladies to see what she has been creating.
