Wine, anyone?

I was so chuffed this week, to get this Bugaboo image -

Glass of wine.

I knew it would work perfectly for this weeks Glitter n Sparkle theme:

Add a sentiment.

I made this card for a friend who is going to be 30 in a few weeks. 

I think I could make cards with this image, many times over for many friends of mine! lol..

This was quite a quick and simple card to do once I had 

printed off the image and sentiment.

(you get them both on the same download from Bugaboo.)

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added a diecut 30 and diecut corners.

I raised it all on 3d foam and popped it on a background I embossed.

Beer Monster!

Pink Gems is sponsoring us over at Glitter n Sparkle this week,

with the theme of "One for the boys."

I used 'Beer monster.'

(which comes black and white, precoloured, and with

 a separate sentiment - 'beer monster.')

I used the precoloured version of this image, to save a little time,

and added a 'birthday wishes' sentiment to the beer monster sentiment.

I matched it up with some 6 x 6 paper from the paper cellar.

I made some strips matted on black, with the same paper, to give some interest.

The 21 was die cut with my new number dies 

- which I love - 

and the beer mug is  quickutz die that I have had for yonks. 

I fussy cut the beer monster and mounted him on 3d pads.

Thanks!

Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, the theme is...

"include a diecut"

and I used 4 different diecuts with my image from 

Scribbles Designs, called "flowershop."

I just adore putting red, white and kraft together, 

just as I adore a red and white stripey awning on a shop. 

It was a lovely image to colour and said it was a "thankyou " card, 

straight away, to me.

The sentiment is from craftwork cards.

Another card for Dad!

Again, I was blessed with an image from Ikes Art...

"Windmill"

This image is so lovely on it's own, I really thought I did not

have to do much more than colour it....

...which I did with my promarkers. 

It took a while! :)

I just added a sentiment from my pc, and embossed a simple line around the edge.

Fathers Day

"Fathers Day" or "graduation" 

is the challenge this month, over at Patties Creations.

Seeing as I don't know anyone graduating and we have

my Dad and Hubbys Dad, 

I thought I would make a fathers day card....using "Mallards."

I printed the image and coloured it with my promarkers.

I decoupaged both ducks and added a sentiment on my pc. 

I thought the brown corners were reminiscemt of those elbow patches older men

 seem to have on their jumpers / jackets  :)  

The backing paper is from an animal skins set of papers I have

from "the works" (which was a bargain £1).

I thought the pattern would fit so well with the colour of the ducks.
