Button Bling

Hello Again
Well, I've gone all blingy today for the latest challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz. This fortnight we would like to see your female orientated cards featuring 'A Button or Two', which was my choice.
I have used a Stampin' Up set - flower shop with the matching punch, to create my flowers, simply stamped in Archival Black then finished with a crystal flower shaped button sewn into the middle of each one. The card was completed with the addition of a simple sentiment. The photo really does not show the card at its best, as in real life it is sooooo sparkly.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Moo Mania - floral
Tuesday Throwdown - anything goes
Cards In Envy - birthday card
Crafty Boots - monochrome
Eureka Stamp - add some bling
Penny Black and More - birthdays
and
Fantasy Stampers - monochrome
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope it has inspired you to join in the fun over at the main blog,
Hope to see you again really soon,
Hugs Sharon xx

Exam Success

Hello Everyone
It's time once again for the next challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz - I love this blog - and this time we would like to see your 'Books or Book Paper', male orientated creations.
I have gone a bit Tim Holtz mad on my card, using both his Crazy Bird stamp and blue print book pile.The images have been coloured with ProMarkers, and the overall design has been kept really simple with just a single black mat to finish the card off. I thought this would be suitable either for exams good luck/results or a birthday - what do you think?

A Wee Tipple

Hello All
Today sees the start of another new challenge at Cardz For Guyz, and this time round we would like to see you're male orientated 'Food and Drink' cards.
I have done something completely different for a change, and have hand stitched this card, which was very relaxing for a change. It is a Sparkle Stitch design, that I have just matted onto a card and added a sentiment.
Please pop on over to the main challenge blog to see the other DT creations, or better still create a card and join in the fun.
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back soon with another creation.
Hugs Sharon xx

Fore

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 use just 'Black and White'.
My card has been created with a single stamp from IndigoBlu. I have stamped it once, then stamped the golfer again and decoupaged it on to the original. This has then been matted and layered onto black,then onto another white layer with a die cut Tim Holtz diamond pattern to represent the jumper pattern, before a final black layer before being mounted on the card blank.
I adore the definition element of this stamp, it makes me chuckle every time I look at it.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
A Bit More Time To Craft - anything goes
Crafts Galore Encore - anything goes
Crafting From The Heart - anything goes
A Gem Of A Challenge - don't be square
Allsorts - hum0rous
Crafty Catz - decoupage
Morgan's Art World - for the men
