Sentimental Sundays - Wings

Used this image from Katzelcraft and some Pan Pastels - my first play with them to create the image for this card.  The greeting and the oriental symbols are from the Asian Delights set recently released by Mark's Finest Papers.

Another Degree Celebration

This card uses a Digital image from Bugaboo Stamps and is also going to Bath.  This one is for Gareth, Lauren's boyfriend who has also been studying with her.  I am entering this card is this week's Pan Pastels challenge which is to use a digi. 

Well done to Gareth.

Summer

The theme this week at FOSTV is Summer and that is also the theme for this week's Pan Pastels challenge. Butterflies flitting around the summer flowers is a really beautiful sight.  I made the card using the masked centre technique recently posted in the tutorial section at Speedy TV using three shades of pink ink.

We may even be getting a little summer here in the UK as the sun shone yesterday and my nose also got a little pink!

Please join in the challenge at Friends of Speedy TV - you could win the stamp set called Lighthouses.

FOSTV - Father's Day

Father's Day is a sad occasion for me because I lost my Dad when I was only 19 and my Father-in-Law about 7 years ago.  However as I sell cards at work I have made a couple of Father's Day cards using Marks Finest Papers stamps.

The first one uses sketch SC323 and an image from the set Big Boys Toys plus an embossing folder to add a bit of a texture to the papers, which I then sanded.

I used Copics to colour the image.

The second card uses the Sentimental Sundays sketch and an image from the set being offered as a prize to one lucky participant who joins in the fun at this week's FOSTV challenge.  This is a simple card but shows how easy it is to make a card with these masculine images.  The set is called Get Reel and my card just uses some patterned paper as a background.  The flags and buttons finish it off!

I am also entering this card in the Pan Pastels challenge for a Father's Day card.
