Background Challenge #7

Hello Bloggers
I had a DT challenge over at DO IT WITH DIGIS using backgrounds from our dear sponsor Di's Digi Downloads. We were lucky enough to get some lovely digis and had to also use a Tilda stamp. So I created this card. Go on and enter for yourself.

I used a combo of wax pencils with odourless spirit to colour the image and background image, then used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to blend the edge of the background card.
The sentiment is from one of Lynnes ticket sets. I used Stormy Sky Distress ink to co-ordinate the colours.

I hope you like.

80th Birthday

Hi there,
Today I had to design a card for my brother-in-laws uncle. My dear sister called and said she needed a card for an 80th birthday but she wanted an image of an old man bowling with a zimmer frame!!
What a tall order! "You can do it" she said "i'm not worried!!!"
So I got scribbling and played around for ages until I got this image. Any way I sent it off to her so hope she likes it cos i'm not going to make it again. HE HE!
What do you think?

I am entering it into

A Card for a friend

Hi,
Just thought I would post this card that I made for a friend's birthday this week. The pink backing paper is from a 6x6 pack -My Minds Eye. Cuttlebug Butterfly embossing folder, Stamping up spine punch, sentiment is from a very old Do Craft stamp. The Magnolia had an apron full of Hearts so I punched some flowers and stuck them on top. She was also coloured with pencils and blended with odourless spirit. Hope my friend liked it.

Valentines

Hello there,
Just thought I would show you a card I made for Do It With Digi's the Digi Divas Challenge for February - Valentines.

The image is a digital from Mo Mannings and is coloured with Promarkers and the Sentiment is one of Lynne's from - Sentiments For You. I cut a strip of card around the printed sentiment and trimmed off triangles to look like a tag, then made another one to lay opposite and distressed with Vintage Photo. Not sure where the red backing paper came from as I have had it in my stash for a long time.
Hope you like xx

Xmas Card No 3

Hi again
Here is my third card that my mum and I made.

We kept the background simple by just embossing with the Cuttlebug snowflakes folder and adding a little glitter here and there. Next we each die cut a Nestability Bauble and stamped the Magnolia. She was coloured with Promarkers and we distressed the outer edge with Antique Linen. Also stamping a small snowflake around randomly with the same ink. Not sure when i'm going to get time to make some more cards but we really did have a good time.

I hope you like it.
