Man & Remote


Managed to find some time this afternoon to make another mans card as I need several when I am back from my holidays. This is an image from Phindys Place
I came across her images several weeks ago & they are gorgeous, so go take a look for yourself.
Coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador (Can you tell I love these pencils..lol). Papers are Dovecraft Abstract Prints & card from stash. I have also used a Glitter Girls corner punch & Martha Stewart "Rings" punch.

Entered into the following challenges.
Cupcake Craft - Food & Drink (he is holding a can & there are crisps by his side)
Practical Stampers - Have to use something you have had for a year. (I used my Craft Robo for the circles which I have had for 2 years)
Fab N Funky - Its all in the technique. (I have paper pricked the edges of the circle & the image corners.

Bookmark

I am away on holiday on Sunday for 3 weeks so have not had much time for crafting this week. My bookmark had become a bit cloth eared, so thought I had better make another one & by sheer fluke, found A Spoonful Of Sugar had a challenge to make a bookmark, so heres my very quick effort as time is short. The image is from Digital Ink Co which has now closed, coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador. Mounted onto card from stash & a flower, also from stash. Sentiment made on Word. Very quick & easy & I now have a new bookmark to take away with me.

Not sure if I like this one, but anyway its done now, so the first backing paper is from the Robert Adams Botanicals CD & the paler pink one is from the Papermania Rose Garden pad. I have also used some pale lemon hand made paper that I have had for ages. The make up images are from the now defunct Digital-Ink Co site. They are coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador with a little glitter added here & there. Ribbons, brads & buttons from stash.

Sons tent card

I was browsing the Just Magnolia challenge blog and caame across a tutorial for a tent card and thought I would have a go. I cut it out on my Craft Robo easily and decided not to hang the image in the aperture but to fix it to the back card.

This is just right for my sons birthday next week. Although he is 21, he has all the toys and gadgets on this earth and does not like fussy cards, so hopefully this will be ok.
