Cards for men challenge!

 

 

So I found a new card challenge blog focused on cards for men.The blog is called Cards for Men.  The challenge is called Cheeky Chappies sponsored by bugaboostamps. I used a bugaboo stamp for this challenge because they have some really funny and cheeky stamps. I used white SU card stock and printed the image right on the cardstock. I used copic markers and prismacolor pencils to color the image.

This card will also be entered into the Cute Card Thursday “anything goes” Challenge.

Friends Forever Card

For the friends forever card I used a new tiddlyinks stamp. I also incorporated some new digital techniques I learned from Lucy of Lucys Cards. The designer paper I used for this card were all from digi kits and I used Microsoft word to resize and color to my liking. The sentiment stamp is from SU and I used my nestabilities to cut it. I used copic markers to color in the girls. For this card I used a sketch from deconstructing jen’s current challenge.

I will be entering this card in the Deconstructing Jen challenge and tiddlyinks Friends challenge

So last week I was following Lucy’s Cards digi tutorial week and learned some great tips and techniques. I made a card using the info Lucy graciously shared with us and will be entering her contest she is hosting. For this card I used digi kits “A star is born ” from hero arts and “comic book papers” from mygrafico. The stamped image is “gadget girl” from kraftin kimmie and I colored her in using my Copic markers. I combined and changed the colors of the comic book paper and cut out a star from “a star is born” kit. I definitely enjoyed all her tutorials and will be using a lot more digi kits on my cards. Thank you Lucy for sharing.

Beyond the clouds……..


 Mojo Monday’s has a new sketch challenge that I have decided to enter. I just got in my papertreyink stamp sentiments and I just couldn’t wait to use it. I’m pretty happy with the results of this card and the sentiment.

Super Girl!

 

Kraftin Kimmie’s “Gadget girl” stamp is part of the new super hero collections. For the blue background image I used hero art’s digital print. I’ve never used digital designer paper before but I really love it!. The great thing about it is that you can put multiple patterns of, lets say 4″ by 4″ size  on one sheet of 8.5 by 11 and you can print as many as you want. I also used the text included with the stamp.
