Hobbycutz challenge

Its  time for  Hobbycutz challenge.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is monochrome, and we are being sponsored by Kenny K.

I coloured the image in using my pens and created a stippled background.  I matted the gingham dp onto blue cardstock and used a nestie to cut out the centre.  I stamped the music background onto the card blank using distress ink and then placed the dp over it.  I die cut the stars and coloured the Hobbycutz guitar in using blue metallic promarker.

That Craft Place challenge

The That Craft Place challenge this time is New Year New Stash - pretty much everything on this card is new!!  And we are sponsored by Kenny K this time.

I coloured the image in using my pens and aded a bit of stickles.  I have kept the layout quite simple, but gone for vintage feeling colors and papers.  I made the rolled roses and added pearls to their centres and added this pearl, flowery ribbon stuff (I am sure it has a technical name!) and some pearl pins.  The sentiment is from aKraftin' Kimmie stamp and is perfect for this image!

Kenny K at the Totally Papercrafts Challenge

Kenny K are sponsoring the Totally Papercrafts challenge this week, and we were lucky enough to get some images to play with.  I confess to having quite a few of these images sitting neglected in my digi folder, but I had to have Airborne as it is so like my nephew!!

 I coloured him in using my pens.  I went to town a bit on the embossing, using coredinations cardstock so I could get a grungey look ti it.  I also painted some metal foil with cranberry acrylic paint, and embossed and sanded it when it was dry.  The tags are metallic ones, simply treated with some alchol inks, embossed and sanded.

 Its Friday!!!!  This week's Totally Papercrafts theme is Lots of Layers - one I really struggle with as I'm not a lots of layers type of girl!!  We are sponsord this week by the fabulous Kenny K.

I needed to make a pirate mad 51 year old boy a birthday cardand this fab Keny K image, Pirate, fitted the bill perfectly!!  I coloured him using my promarkers.  The dp is Bo Bunny's Market Weekend, and I added a map created using a TH map stamp stamped onto the card back of a set of post-it notes (recycle, recycle, recycle!!!)  I grunged it up using distress ink pens, vintage photo ink and lots of scrunching and tearing. The image is on 3d foam pads for a bit of dimension, and  I added some twine and a skull and crossbones charm, and a SU sentiment, also popped onto 3d foam pads.

 I stamped Jelly Pip from Sugar Nellie onto kraft cardstock and coloured her in using prisma pencils. I paper peiced her waistcoat top using some of the dp which is SU and I LOVE it ... shame it is runnig out :(  I kept the card reasonably embellishment free ... just some cream satin ribbon and a doilly heart that I distressed with antique linen distress ink to make it look cream.
