Nature at Cardz 4 Guyz.

It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week the theme is Nature. I decided to play with Craft Artist and made this card using the Craftscapes digikits.

I printed off some extra embellishments and fussy cut them out before adding to the circular image. I really ought to play with CA more often than I do.

Hope you can join in with the challenge.

Cardz 4 Guyz - Nature

The challenge at  Cardz 4 Guyz this week is Nature and was chosen by Helen. I used a SU stamp that hadn't seen any ink!  I coloured it with SU markers and a watercolour brush, then sponged some sky and grass.

I mounted the image panel onto some dark red card after trying various colours, it seemed to be the best. The sentiment was part of the same stamp set. The leaves are the masculine version of a butterfly - to cover a smudge! Please make sure you pop over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT have made, and the come and join in the fun, just make sure your card is for the male gender!

Make My Monday - Nature

It's Monday again so it's time for another challenge at Make My Monday, and this week the theme is "Nature" chosen by Fliss. I started off by doing a card with flowers on then changed my mind. Instead I decided to make a sideways stepper card. Originally the card club I go to made these a couple of months ago but I couldn't go at the time so have only just got round to trying one.

It wasn't the easiest shape to photograph and still looks a bit wonky! All the mats were cut on my Cameo! The background to the birds was made by inking an acrylic block and stamping it straight onto the paper. As I'm trying to reduce my paper mountain I also made a matching envelopeusing the envelope punch board.
