Happy Birthday, Cousin

I've gone red, black and white, for this card for my cousin's 40th birthday, later this year. He's a football fan, Manchester United of course, so hopefully he'll like this!

I used an image from pollycraft, coloured with my trusty promarkers and paper from papermania, layered on black card.

The sentiment is computer generated and I printed some football patterned paper and cut them with my dies, the 40 is computer generated cut with dies too.

I finished it off with just a few little gems, because we know I can't resist gems.

Purple Flowers

After an annoyingly busy week I finally had some time this afternoon to get a card done! Yay!

I cut a purple card base, layered it in white, then die cut some squares in white and purple, corner punched the white and stamped the cute little flowers from Sarah Williams, colouring them with my promarkers. I added the sentiment from stampin' up and then finished with two little pearls.

Golfer Gus

Another male card, twice in one day, that's almost unheard of, lol. This time I've gone with a Bugaboo stamps image and sentiment, coloured agian with my promarkers. The papers are from Authentique's Curiosity collection, layered on navy blue card. I kept the embellishments to a minimum with just a few gems.

Red Truck

A male birthday card today, inspired by listening to too much country music (is that even possible) especially Aaron Tipping 'There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With the Radio'

All in red, I used papers from papermania, layered on kraft card and coloured the image from Digi Darla, in reds, with my promarkers. I used a sentimetnt from crafters companion and added a few punched stars and some gems to finish.

Perk Up!

Another CAS card this afternoon, inspired this time, by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches.

The coffee cup was stamped and cut out, from Stampin' Up's Perfect Cup set - a slightly belated birthday gift from a friend, that arrived just yesterday *g* - paired with a sentiment from the Stampin' Up, Morning Cup set.

I used a brown card base with papers from Papermania's Happy Day's paper pack and a little daffodil delight card. Pieced the cup sleeve with DP. And embellished with a grey button, some twine and a few gems, finishing off by using a corner punch on the bottom corners of the card.

Add A Little Colour

As soon as I saw the sketch for CAS on Sunday, I knew exactly what I wanted to use for it - these adorable freebie digi's and sentiment from The Alley Way. I cut the base card in daffodil delight and printed the sentiment and brushes, cutting the brushes out individually.

I used cotton balls to apply some ink to the white panel, and coloured the brushes to match with my promarkers, mounting the little brushes on dimensions pads, adding a quick bit of colour to the sentiment as well and finishing of course, with a few gems.
