Hamish and Amelia

 I don't seem to have made a masculine card for ages ... so here's one I made for this week's FB Sugar Nellie Challenge ...

I have a HUGE soft spot for Hamish, and really should ink him up more.  Here he is fixing his tractor.  I coloured him using distress inks and had help from the poorly child, so less shading than I would have liked!!  I used my deckled rectangles to cut him and the mat out, and inked up the edges.  The dp is Basic Grey Archaic, not used this for AGES!!!  I made the cogs and cog border using my Tim Holtz dies and added some little clock pieces to the border.

And I have managed to find the time to put the image I was experimenting with on Tuesday night onto a card ...

Here is Amelia, from the latest set of Simply Sassy's from Sugar Nellie.  I stamped her onto kraft using sepia ink and then coloured her with my prisma pencils and added some white gel pen.  The edges of the image and dp (Bo Bunny) are distressed and inked.  I used some raffia lace from my stash, a Prima flower, and a cog at its centre.  The sentiment is stamped onto the image in sepia, the stamp is one I have had ages.  Not sure stamping in sepia onto kraft works ... a bit too pale.
