A few cards ...

 I have left the Visible image DT, but thought I would share some of the samples that I made from their recent Create and Craft show.  I will share the rest of them another day.

I love DCWV Linen Paper but have never used it for masculine cards.  I stamped the key and cars onto the dp and then coloured Bradley in using my pens.  I stamped the sentiment and added it a quirky angle. 

Challenges: 

Graph it - Male colours

Crafty Catz - boys and their toys

 I do like doing CAS cards and this stamp set lends itself perfectly to very clean and simple.  I stamped the flower parts in distress ink, and added the pearl centre.  I doodles round the edge of the card and then stamped the sentiment.

Challenges:

Charisma Cardz - birthday girls

Fuss n fancy - happy birthday 

Allsorts - pretty in pink

 For this card I scored a diamond pattern in the white cardstock, but it really hasn't chown up in the photo and added pearls to some of the crosses. I coloured the castle in using my pens and then stamped the sentiment.  Finally I added some ribbon and a bow.

Challenges:

Crafty Ribbons - ribbons and bows

Addicted to CAS - Luck (a wedding card)

Daring Cardmakers - fairytale

Challenges:

 Cute Card Thursday - girls, girls, girls

ABC - H is for Hair

All these stamps are available at Visible Image.

 

Wonder Woman Birthday

 

 Its one of my running group's birthday today - and this image from Lisa's very own  Ditzie Digi Design shop was perfect.  Lisa has adapted Super Woman to have running shoes for me :) Having coloured her in using my pens (and club colours before anyone thinks I have begun to like pink!!) I put her onto digi papers.  I added some layered diecut flowers, pearls, a pearl swirl and ribbon. Finally the birthday sentiment.
