Challenge #116

Birthday

This fortnights challenge 'Birthday' has been chosen by Chriss.

I used a lovely CCK rubber stamp image for this card which a friend gave me.  The base of the card was embossed with a snake-skin embossing folder.  Copics were used to colour the image which I then masked.  I added some silhouette stamping, masked the moon area and then used Distress Oxides for the card background and the embossed layer.

Challenge #115

CAS

This fortnights challenge 'CAS' has been chosen by Maggie. Just a quick and simple card to share with you this week, a simple flower and a favourite saying :) Must admit though I never pick flowers from the garden, a habit developed over many years.  Hubby won't buy flowers as he says they belong in the ground and my Mum hated picking any of her roses she grew etc. as they lasted so much longer outside where she could enjoy their beauty instead of in a vase :)

    Anything Goes with an option of Animals

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :) 

Just a simple card from me this month :), I was playing around in Photoshop with pattern fills and loved how the manatee turned out with an ocean pattern filling so decided to use him for this challenge.  I kept the background really simple with just some quick splatters using a splatter brush and selecting colours that were from the manatee on a white textured background.  Yep really simple I know but sometimes simple does the trick.  I finished of with some simple text but it says everything, we all love somebody remembering us for no reason at all, just to say Hi :) :) Hope you all have a good day.

Challenge #114

A Mode Of Transport

This fortnights challenge 'A Mode Of Transport' has been chosen by Hazel.

Just a simple digital card using an old map of England for the background and toned down with a light brown overlay.  The card backing layer has an embossed texture added for a bit of a texture feel.   The bike was a free .png download and just perfect for what I was looking for.  To finish off I created the banner layer for the text to be added and then placed my text on top.  Very simple but I rather like the outcome of this card and hope you do too :) :)
