Two Card Tuesday #3

Hello there, I'm back with my 3rd Two Card Tuesday personal prompt.

For these 2 cards I stuck to a very similar layout and tweeked it slightly so each one had a slightly different feel as I used the same pack of papers and almost the same colour scheme.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx



Here is the Blokie card




And this one is for the Girlies

Switch it up Saturday #3

Hello again, I'm back with my 3rd offering for my Switch it up Saturday personal prompt.

This time I took one of my old old cards and changed the orientation. I kept the same shape for the main focal element but I made it a bit more manly by using muted colours and an image from the Wetlands set by Stamping' Up! Some ink blending and of course some twine and the card was called done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx



Here is my Switched up version



And here is the original

Freestyle Friday #3

Hello there,

I'm back again with another Freestyle Friday card. This time I am making use of a little note card that was included in with a set of stamps from Clearly Besotted. All it needed was some spotty paper and some glitter card (which didn't show up in the pic) plus some bakers twine and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Watercolour Wednesday #3

Hello there,

Today is number 3 of my personal prompt Watercolour Wednesday.

For this card I white heat embossed the fuchsia image from Clearly Besotted's Beautiful Friend set onto some watercolour card and used my Inktense pencils to add the bright vibrant colours. To add a bit more interest to the black strip I used my score board to add some lines for a bit of texture, a pop of pink card plus a sentiment from an old Stamping' Up! set and the card was done.

Thanks for looking, lorry :o) xx

Stash Kit Sunday #2

Hello there,

For this Stash Kit Sunday personal challenge I used the same pattern papers that are on girlie version of Two Card Tuesday #2 card, the supplies were just laying on my desk and they were so pretty and I had the project life cards from the set and I just started making.

Trouble was by the time I realised that I was doing a Stash Kit challenge I had already made a big dent in the kit but I hadn't taken a pic of the stuff I was using, so for this week I have had to use the promo shots that are on the web, but you get the idea.


Stuff I was using as my 'Kit'  

 



Here are the cards I made

   


  


   


  





I don't do Project Life but I just fell in love with these cards and had to have them. They sat in a draw for ages so I thought they would be a prime candidate for a Stash Kit Sunday as they are too pretty to hide away. I also had the 6 x 6 pattern paper from the same collection so it was obvious to use that as well. Add in the mix some bakers twine as well as some punched and die cut glitter card for accents, a few little sentiments that were heat embossed and hand cut out and these bad boys were done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Three of a Kind Thursday #2

Hello.

The Three of a Kind Thursday cards this week are super quick and easy and could be mass produced if needed. Note to Self: do these for my son Max's Christmas Thank You's!


Card 1




Card 2




Card 3




This super cute set from Clearly Besotted really doesn't need much more than a sentiment and of course some googly eyes and then the cards are all done.

Thanks for looking, :o) xx

Two Card Tuesday 2016 #2

Hi There,

I'm back with the second Two Card Tuesday personal prompt of 2016.

I dug out my trusty notebook where I keep all my scribbled sketches, notes on techniques and any other card making notes that I want to refer back to, and found this sketch that I thought would be good to use for this challenge.


This one is for the Blokies



And this one is for the Girlies



I picked this camera stamp from Stampin' Up! for the main image as I hadn't inked it up in a while as I normally just use it for scrap book pages. I kept the sentiment (which is from Clearly Besotted) quite generic so it could be used for most occasions. The pattern papers are the only differences between the two, the bloke version uses the Travel Notes paper stack and the girlie version uses papers from My Mind's Eye My Story.

Thanks for Looking, :o) xx
