Corp Clegg

Hubby liked his birthday card here so much that I had to make another similar one for an old Army mate!

Once gain I used a 6x6 sheet of paper from my stash for the background. Cpl Clegg was coloured with pencils and fussy cut. The sentiment was stamped in soft suede ink to match the mat.

Birthday Salute!

Recently it was Roy's birthday and as he is still very miltary minded , even though he has been out of the army getting on for forty years, I thought that Cpl Clegg from Dr Digi was very appropriate.

 I coloured him with pencils and added some gold paint for the buttons and end of the pace stick, and glossy accents for the boots. The background paper is a 6x6 sheet from my stash, which I thought made a nice frame, matted onto a piece of Sahara Sand card.

One Layer Card

I originally started making this card for Less Is More but then realised it didn't fit the theme, so put it to one side to finish later. It was also a bit of an experiment. I originally intended it to be no line colouring using coloured pencils. It started off quite well and I really liked the effect the pencils had on the textured card. However, I soon gave up on the no line colouring as the stamp is quite small and I couldn't see the lines. Fortunately I had used the Misti and still had the stamp attached so I was able to restamp with black.

The stamp is a new one from Aall and Create.

Rudolph Day July 2023

It's Rudolph Day again. My goodness doesn't it come round quickly! I'm still not making many cards but I am still remembering to join in with Rudolph Day. After all, it does help increase my stash of Christmas cards.

This month I decided to unearth my set of Paper Artsy stamps which havent been used as much as they should have been. I coloured them with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils which were out on my desk. Mounted it onto green mirri card then some Christmassy paper which originally came from a magazine.
