Windows

At the Crazy for Challenges blog this week, their theme is 'Windows'.  These can be any form of window i.e. a hole cut in the front of the card, a shaker card, a window in an image (including vehicles), anything basically that has or is classed as a window.

I chose to make the following card for this week's challenge as I have a few male birthdays coming up this month and next, so I needed to make a few masculine cards.

For this card I used another Lili of the Valley digital image called 'Under the Bonnet' in the Men and Boys section, the image can be found here.

Firstly, I used a piece of green scrap backing paper from my scrap box and ran it through my Big Shot in an embossing folder. The embossing folder is an after market one purchased on eBay. Had to wait ages for it to arrive from China, but it was only 99p with free P&P and it embosses beautifully. I then mounted this to the front of my 8" x 8" card blank.

I coloured my image in a similar colour to the embossed card using my Copic pens and mounted it first to green card and then to a beautiful green glitter card (purchased in a pack of glittered card from B&M Stores).  To finish it off, I simply added three white Card Candi to the top left of the card, I didn't want to add a sentiment to this one, which I normally would do, because I may use it for my daughter's boyfriend, if he passes his driving test - IF...

That's it... hope you like it.

One for the Boys/Men

Hi all

Just a little something I have prepared for this week's various blogs challenges, listed below:

Passion for ProMarkers challenge 'One for the Boys/Men' Here

Ooh La La Creations No 158:

Father's Day/Male Here

I was asked to make an 18th Birthday card for a friend of my daughter's, and decided, as he will be doing his first driving lesson on his birthday, this lovely image from Lili of the Valley would be perfect.

I used my beloved ProMarkers (and Prismacolour pencils for highlights and lowlights) to colour this image and added a few candi embellishments and a sentiment (also from Lili of the Valley).

Hope you like the card and I look forward to seeing everyone's projects in the above challenges.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for taking the time to view my blog.
