Hello All

It's time once again for another new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz,and this time round we would like to see your 'No Patterned Papers', female themed cards.

I have used an old Stampin' Up image for my card, that I have masked to use parts of the stamp, rather than the whole. It has been simply coloured with ProMarkers, before being matted with a coordinating red layer, then mounted onto a black card base.I have also used a scallop tag punch to create the card closure.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you come back really soon.

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 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.

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.

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.
