A few challenges more

I've have a new card to share with you all. I created it with these challenges in mind

• Cardz 4 Guys 
• Left of Centre Creative
• Hand Stamped Sentiments

This is the HSS sketch but it lent itself so well with the Cardz4Guys "clean and simple" but also the monochrome challenge set by Left of Centre Creative




I decided to go with shades of grey, sorry ladies but only 4 shades here.
I also decided to go old-school and hand cut my ovals.

I've used one of my favourite ols stamp sets from WMS, a variety of grey promarkers, momento tuxedo black inkpad and some dark grey card I had in my stash.

I stuck quite strictly with the sketch as the minimalist effect really helped the image pop.

Back soon with more to share

The Male Room

Hello all,

I have some exciting news....I have been invited to join the design team for "The Male Room Challenge Blog"
 I was very honoured when I was asked and almost stammered my reply. Which was an emphatic YES!

So the challenge we have this week is:

Yes, Buttons we want to see them on your project.
Here is my take on this interesting challenge:

I've used buttons for the blossom centres and the steam-punkish owls eye

I know I have several different varieties of leaves on one tree.

But that's the way I roll...

They always say variety is the spice...

I love this little guy, part machine/ part owl.

"Steampunk Owl" from Lacy Sunshine

I like the fact that it can be used for masculine or feminine cards

Unfortunately you can't really see the glitter pen I used on the grey sections, to give it a more metal/masculine look.

Please remember to drop by and leave some love for all the talented DT members.......

1,2,3 and Bumpsy daisy

Hello all,

I have had a rather uncomfortable weekend. Friday morning I ended up at the bottom of our stairs the quick way.
Yes I missed several steps (about a half of them) and landed with a very hard thud on my coccyx.
Needless to say sitting has proved an interesting challenge.

But on a cheery note, I discovered this photo I took last year. I named the pic "Cromford Stegosaurus"

We had been walking along the cromford canal when I spotted it on the opposite bank. All the years we've been for a stroll along there and we'd never seen it before.

Well, it's getting late
