Craft Us Crazy Challenge - Fathers Day/Masculine Colours

Hi there, This is a late post and just a short one as i am not keeping so well this week. I am on doctors orders to have my feet up due to swelling legs, feet and abdomen. The most obvious cause is my Kidney disease so got blood tests tomorrow. fingers crossed all is ok!

Anyway on with the details for the new Craft Us Crzy Challenge!

The theme this time round is.......

...Fathers Day and/or Masculine Colours

This weeks sponsor is ... Laurettas Digital Stamps

The winner of of the challenge will be given 4 images of your choice.

For my card i used one of my Hanglar images. He is coloured with Promarkers.

The papers are MME lost and found and Kraft card. All the edges are inked with Old Paper distress ink.

I have used Bakers twine from WOC and a Tim Holtz ticket again inked in the same ink as DPs.

I used MME buttons and a little bronzed button on the twine.

I am going to enter my card into Lovely Hanglar Only Challenge which has a great a sketch this week to follow!

Now onto my DT card.....

I made a step card this time and used my 2 matching hAnglar images in their winter clothes and cut the out to place back to back. They were coloured with Promarkers and the white bits on the clothes have been covered in Glossy Accents and Glamour Dust. I used my snowflake embossing folder to cover the main card base and right behind the images. The snowflakes are cut using my Pot-pourri Basket Cartridge and i have given them the Glossy Accents/Glamour Dust treatment. The sentiment was also a Cricut cut from the Wild Card Cartridge.

The ribbon and gems are just from my own stash.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges;

Lovely Hanglar Only - Take Two (Use 2 Images)

Stampavie and more - Monochrome

Paper Take weekly - Putting on the Glitz (sorry the snowflakes and white areas on clothes dont show up the glamour dust very well)

Thats all for me tonight. Thanks for reading my rather large post and i hope to see you all with your super "Winter" projects over at the Craft Us Crazy Challenge blog! This challenge will be open until Wednesday 2nd March!

New Arrival!

Hi, well i am on a role with making cards this week! I think i have had a post every day! 

The Lovely hAnglar Only Challenge this week is a recipe...3 flowers, 2 brads and 1 ribbon. My hAnglar baby is coloured using promarkers. He is too cute for words! The papers are from TPC Studio, Blips and Bleeps. The second layer was embossed using the Swiss Dots embossing folder and the layer with the ribbon and scalloped edge was embossed using my score-board to get nice straight embossed lines. As always my flowers were home-made and inked with distress ink along with the vine that was cut from my Cricut. The teddy charm was a last minute add on. Its was actually just a little felt bear that i found in my "baby bits and bobs" tub so thought i would use him as a charm! The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card cartridge and glazed over with Glossy Accents..(i cant make a card without using this stuff!!) The brads and ribbon are just from my stash.

Here is the challenges i am entering with this card.
