Don't Wear stripes on Screen....

Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there, hope they have a very special day :) Here's one of the father's day cards I made (you know how it is... as a cardmakers you need to make at least three to cover the father figures in the family)...

So the fabulously talented designer Betsy Veldmen has set a challenge to find a piece of men's wear that inspires you and to create a project based on that piece. I just had to have a go...

This is the shirt I picked as inspiration, the patterns are fab, but what I really love is the subtle white embroidery of flowers! I tried to mimic this with a little heat embossing...

The stripes and arglye have been stamped in distress inks and I created the sentiment based on the shirt label on the back.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: look no patterned paper (shock); WRMK: textured cardstock;

Stamps: Papertrey Ink: father knows best; a little argyle; background basics: retro; in bloom;

Ink: Ranger distress inks: stormy sky; tumbled glass; clear embossing;

Other: Embossing powder: white; PTI: buttons; stitch tracer; 3D adhesive foam;

The colours were perfect for the PDCC #34 challenge this week and the design was inspired by Get Sketchy #43

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day BiG HuGs Kim :)

To You from Me

I wanted to post this yesterday but.... when you spill beverage over your computer you can be certain that the majority of your keys will not type properly. Which also means I am unable to type my name, or a sentence or reply to comments or write an email! It is soooooo frustrating to use everything but the letters, it was like losing a limb! Well it's still lost as I'm using OH laptop, it doesn't have any cool stuff on like photoshop or anything urgh!

I have been eager to use this adorable image ginger fairy by the very talented Amy. She's been coloured with copics, I went for very soft colours, using the palette from PDCC colours. Then I have sprayed a very generous amount of glimmer mist over her so she proper sparkles tee hee! I have created a fun fold using on the edge die and followed the get sketchy sketch!

Anya's Stamping too.... April's sneek peek

Good morning, it's another April preview over at Club Anya & Friends you might find this Anya very crafty, tee hee....

Well.... you've been asking for this little cutie since she was spotted in CHA!!! I so totally ♥ Stamping as I think we all do, tee hee.

And for this card I decided to do just that, yep noo patterned paper (I KNOW shock horror!!!) I have stamped the card base with large polka dots, and inked the edges slightly. The panel has been stamped with houndstooth backgrounder and the edges punched and embellished with some pretty adhesive stones.

I have used Tim Holtz stamps for the circles and the dots on the folded underside, my own double sided papers LOL! The butterfly is stamped and die cut also with inked edges. Seeing as I had my distress inks out on the table and loving these new colours I had to then restamp Stamping Anya onto some watercolour paper so I could paint her to co'ordinate.

If you can tell, my card is loosely based on the fabulous sketch over at Get sketchy.
