Jeepers Creepers

Hello Everyone

Todays card is for the next challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, where this week we would like to see your 'Paper Pieced', male, themed creations.

This is one of my all time favorite techniques,so I simply loved this challenge. I have used a Woodware stamp set to create my card, and it was really good fun to do, until I had to cut all those laces out - lol. This is such a versatile set, as depending on the colour choice it would suit either a male or female teenager.

Woman Power

Hello Again

This card was made ready for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. The theme for this fortnight is 'Woman or Women' to celebrate International Woman's Day or Mothers Day.

I have used a Julie Nutting doll stamp for my card, which has been partially coloured with ProMarkers, and then the clothes have been paper pieced on. The backing was created using a retired Stampin' Up stamp - En Francies, The accent stamps are from Tim Holtz, as I just love the body form and sewing machine schematics. I have kept the sewing theme flowing with the addition of some buttons, which I did actually sew onto the card. It was finished with the addition of some floral highlights.

I hope you like my card.

Riding Hard

Hello

Thanks for popping by. This card is for the latest challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz this week, and this time round we would like you to 'Create Your Own Background'.

My card has been created with a single stamp from Stampin' Up. I have stamped the motorcycle lots of times on scraps of white card, and then cut various bits out of them using a hexagonal punch. I have then taken these pieces and made the mosaic type background for my card. I love this technique, even though it takes a while to put all the bits together,
