THE OUTLAWZ SUNDAY CAS CHALLENGE

The challenge this week on The Outlawz  SUNDAY CAS challenge is to make a card 4.25 inches X 4.25 inches, and this is mine:

The image was printed onto white CS and I added the sentiment (my own, computer generated) at the same time.  The image is coloured with alcohol markers and I added a few turquoise gems to give the card a more masculine feel ... and that's it!  That's my card!

I love the clean simplicity of it, and I think it's perfect for a man who doesn't want all the frou-frou of ribbons and soppiness.

THE OUTLAWZ TUESDAY COLOUR CHALLENGE

Tuesday's colours at The Outlawz are fabulous to create with this week:

and this is how I used them :

The image featured on my card is one of my favourites from A DAY FOR DAISIES, and I used alcohol markers as my colouring medium:

The sentiment was printed directly on the the white base card.

This is a one layer card, without embellishments and glitter, no white gel pen that I love to use ... and it was a challenge I set myself - I think I won!  I just goes to prove that one doesn't need all the frou-frou to make an eye-catching card!

THE OUTLAWZ GREETINGS CHALLENGE : SHOW US SOME HEARTS!

My last post as Guest Designer for The Outlawz Greeting Challenge today features a round tag I made using a Bugaboo image called Ava - Heart:

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen for the highlights:

I cut the purple CS tag using a round die and added a plaited circle die to it.  The fussy cut image was pasted on top of it.  Tiny peal beads were sewn onto the die. Some layered flowers, a fancy pearl centre and a satin ribbon bow were added.  Baker's twine was threaded through a tiny punched hole in the top.

'WHITE OUT' - THE CAS CHALLENGE AT THE OUTLAWZ

WHITE OUT

that's the them of the CAS challenge at The Outlawz today, so that means white on white  except for the image, so this is what I made:

The image featured on my card is by Mo Manning, called "Stole my Heart" and is available in her store Mo's Digital Pencil, here.  Isn't it just gorgeous!!!

The image was printed onto textured white cardstock, and just the heart was Copics coloured.  I laid down a slight shadow around the image too.

Here is a better look:

I added a left hand side border of hearts embossed card stock and two vertical score lines, and the two right hand side borders were punched.

DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASE :: PINUP - DEAR VALENTINE

Three more of my drawings are now available as digistamps at the Digistamps 4 Joy store, and the first I have to show you is one called Pinup -Dear Valentine. 

Here is my card using the new image, together with an older image from the store, called Pinup - Pippy Poser.  I merged the two image to make a new single image, using the png versions of both :

Alcohol markers and a white gel pen were used for the colouring and the elements on my card are according to the EASY AS 1-2-3 Challenge on CDAC where the following are required:

1 image

2 designer papers

3 items of bling

Together with those I used:

3 red CS diecuts

paper rose

sewn on sequins and pearl beads

and a key charm tied with a piece of baker's twine

So, my sentiment is on the key.

I think these two images have merged to form one new image in a perfect match, don't you?

I think I will give this card to my friend for her daughters to give to their dad.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

CDAC, EASY AS 1,2,3 CHALLENGE

CRAFTY CALENDER, WHAT’S NEW – The baker’s twine is VERY new – I bought I yesterday from a vendor at our Card Guild meeting and the charm was bought on Friday.  The circular die was also bought at the guild meeting yesterday)
