Masked Coffee Man

So back to crafting, I had a card to make for one of my workmates and lucky for me he's mad about coffee. Why is this lucky for me...because I bought a fabulous coffee stamp set a few months ago and I have been dying to make the perfect birthday card with it.

The Male Room are having a Masking challenge which is just right for the design I dreamt up.

So I stamped the cafetiere first on a post-it note then onto a white piece of card. I covered the cafetiere with the cut out post-it image and stamped the the coffee cup. I raised the cup image up a little to give a slightly more dimensional feel.
Card:- S.U. Chocolate Chip,
Stamp-set:- For the Love of Stamps - Coffee Time
Promarkers - Tan, Cinnamon and Henna

Back soon with more sharing

Triple Challenge card

I have combine three challenges for my new card, a little bit daring for me,

• Dream Valley Challenges - Challenge 6 "Flowers"
• Colour Create Challenge Blog - Challenge 69 "Pink, Blue & Brown"
• Truly Scrumptious - Sketch challenge 56

I decided to combine all three after I looked in my stash box and had a little lightbulb moment. I'm reasonably pleased with the outcome:

I found some wood effect paper, whilst looking for some brown, this then got me thinking of flowers, which then lead to the thought of trellis and so the card came together.
The 2 large flowers were created using Blossom 3 die, the 2 smaller flowers are cut with a Marianne die (as are the leaves).

A Perfect Day

Definately a perfect day. I manage to tidy up, and do some card making..... Well, it is a perfect day when you consider I spent most of yestarday 15ft up a tree.
But enough of trees..... I have made a card for the CR84FN colour challenge

This weeks colours proved a little tricky, but I hope I've done it justice

I've gone for subtle, all the colours are there, just gentler.

Missed the close date

After working hard to create a card that met the CR84FN13 challenge colour choice, I go and miss the closing date, so frustrating!!!
Ah well, here is what I managed to come up with:

I used brown script paper I had on my computer for the background, a dark red paper from my stash which I cut with nestabilities "deckled mega rectangle" and the edges aged using distress ink. Turquoise blue flower.

The sentiment tag I found on the canon scrapbook website, there is a large selection of downloadable images and even a few papercraft projects. This tag did not contain the words, these were a stamp I had lurking in the bottom of my stamps box, that I inked up with Momento dew drops "Bahama blue", which worked very well with the tag colours.

I'll be back in a bit with another card created with my new Polka Doodles stamp set.
