Scrum time!

Another card for May got lots of birthdays in May another Charmed cards download I adore George!
Chalked the background again and gave him dirty knees and face well you can't play rugby without getting a little bit dirty can you!
coloured with promarkers and stamp some rugby balls in corner from another lovely stamp I have. I am entering this into this weeks dare you digi stamp and dotties world challenge.

I didn't read the challenge properly as it said something with wings lol, so I have had to add some wings onto his rugby top to make sure that I followed the challenge properly I found a picture off the internet and have wrote captain in the middle of the badge hope this qualifies!

What a catch!

I have made this card for my BIL's birthday in May I have used a download from Charmed cards I absolutely love these they are such fun!
I have followed the basic grey sketch this week also as you can see I have used some basic grey paper from archaic pad, brown and green bazzill, fish charm, I have chalked my background this time as I think it gives it a softer feel!
I have used promarkers and my stickles on the fish and glossy accents on waders and hats to give it a waterproof look!

Here is my entry this week for Dotties World which I did find quite hard to complete as the theme is all handmade no papers or embellishments etc, but this is what I came up with using my little bits of scrap paper. The blossom on the tree is little bits of mulberry paper, I cut the tree myself out of some scrap.I cut the bottom off the wheelbarrow by accident so added some wire instead hope this counts. I am disappointed with the bees though think they look stupid but oh well I simply can't draw and thats it!

Hope you like I have done this card for my bil's birthday in May so I am way ahead of myself at the moment.

dotties world twice as nice

Its show time, a friend asked me to do a card for her friends 50th birthday they are both into ametuer dramatics. She asked me for two 1950's ladies drinking tea and the set it as if it was on stage hence the text 'tea for two and two for tea'
Well i thought of the perfect image straight away now putting the two images together was more trickier, but thank goodness for my 17 year old son who helped me in microsoft paintshop and taught me how to put the 2 images together wow am i impressed i have wrote it all done for next time saved so much cutting. I brightened it up with my gorgeous promarkers found a theatre curtain and added lace around curtains and wording and some lovely black glittered paper for background, very pleased with the result.

Here is my entry for this weeks Dotties World and friday sketchers loved doing this had to dust off my sewing machine though lol. Used my promarkers again what else would I use!
Scraps of bazzill and think either papermania not quite sure background papers.

No 1 suspect

Here is the card I have made for Dotties world using some of the digital downloads that I have purchased over the last couple of weeks with my sister.

I have spent all day wondering what to do, this card is meant to be humourous and not intended to offend anybody. The caption I have put is 'Susie was new in town, and George was a respectable constable,it wasn’t long before people started putting two and two together
& George became no.1 suspect.

Hope you like

Mojo Weekly Challenge

Well I don't know whether I have done right, as I have never entered any of my cards before, but I found this blog by accident as you do whilst reading someone elses blog and bought some of these lovely digital images well I just couldn't resist then I had to also get some basic grey papers and them I felt great from doing a little retail shopping.mmmmmmmm bliss.

Anyway I really enjoyed doing this card and I think I am eligable to enter thier little competition they have we will have to wait and see I have used one of there images and painstakingly cut it out with my craft knife.

One of my resolutions is to use some my craft stuff that I bought a long time ago and haven't actually got round to using yet, I just like to collect some things lol, this is where the background stamp came in I knew it would have a use one day!

Sorry to waffle I am sure someone out there will read this and have a good laugh.

I have used my lovely promarkers again, I so love these pens, the background stamp is from stamp addicts that I bought two years ago and this is the first time I have used it!

I have sponged the sky with a new distressing ink that I picked up while doing a little bit of retail shopping after reading so many of you out there colour with them, spray and lots of other little things well this is another product I like and will be getting a few more of thanks girls.

A few brads that I coloured with my peel off pens as they were gold, cuttlebug embossed dots and denim background paper, nestabilities and peel off letters and a computer generated sentiment, and of course the digital image that I cut out is from http://www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ please check it out they have some fantastic stuff on their and they are doing great deals at the moment where you can buy a black and white images and also get the coloured set of the same images free only for a limited time though.

I decoupaged his trousers because I'm not very good at taking photos it looks like the rider has two belts on, oh well it must be the way I hold the camera I am just a beginner!

Then I went and put a few stitched crosses on the top and bottom to add more detail with a gelly roll pen but I don't actually like them as I think I went a little bit OTT but never mind.
Pleased with how the card fell into place though.

What do you think!

Thanks for listening
