Hello Everyone

It's time for a new challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz, and this week I have chosen the theme. My choice was 'Clean and Simple'.

I love this style of card, but find it quite hard not to do multiple mats and layers which is my instinct.

I have used a Tim Holtz robot blueprint stamp for my card, with a type writer style sentiment from an old Stampin' Up set. The image was stamped in Archival ink onto a water colour card stock base, and it has then been coloured with Spectrum Noir Aquablend water colour pencils. This is the first time I have ever used these, but think they will become a new favourite, as they were so easy to use.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Everybody Art Challenge - man or boy

Crafting From The Heart - anything goes

The Crazy Challenge - R is for Robot

Great Impressions - anything goes

Craft For The Craic - something masculine

and

That's Crafty - masculine

I hope you like my little creation, and I would love you to become a follower if you have time, or like what you see,

I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Hugs Sharon xx

Pretty In Pink

Hello Everyone.

Well a fortnight has whizzed by, so it is now time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. This time round the challenge is 'Pink and Brown'.

I have used a Julie Nutting stamp for my creation. For some reason it has turned into a Christmassy style card even though we are in summer - lol. I have coloured her skin and hair with ProMarkers, and paper pieced her outfit. The background has been run through a snowflake embossing folder to add some texture. The corners are cut using a Memory Box die, and the whole card was finished with the addition of some pearls.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Christmas At Sweet Stampin' - warm winter clothing

Little Red Wagon - Kraft-tastic

Sisterhood Of Crafters - create your own background

A Snowflakes Promise - anything goes Christmas

Crafting From The Heart - anything goes

Corrosive - lots of layers

Left Of Center - tic tac toe

Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas - cute or anything goes Christmas

and

Chocolate Coffee and Cards - use a die cut

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back for another visit soon.

I have resorted to using one of my favorite punches - the Build An Owl punch from Stampin ' Up to create my assorted superheros. These little guys are simple yet addictive to make, and this punch is just so versatile as you can make all sorts with it, not just owls.

Summer Fun

Hello Again

Today sees the start of the latest challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz. This time round, we would like to see your 'Summer Fun' creations.

Whenever I think of summer, sun flowers spring to mind, and it always reminds me of growing them with the children, and measuring their progress to see who can grow the tallest.

The image has been created with a very old Stampin' Up roller stamp, which has been coloured with ProMarkers. I have added a second, decoupaged layer to add some depth to the flowers, I love the clean and simple overall effect of this card, and it reminds me of those happy summer days.

I hope this will inspire you to hop over to the main blog and join in the fun.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Crafty Creations - tic tac toe

Crafty Sentiments - anything goes

Everybody Art - not cute

Passion For ProMarkers - anything but square
