Hubbies Birthday

Robin my Husband had a birthday the other day, this image I have had a while but until now had never used The three youngest grandsons thought it was hilarious and just like pop, mind you they can be just as bad, and I have been known to call him an old fart occasionally                                                                  

I have not put a backing paper on the card I just wanted the image and die cut to stand out (and I was running out of time to get it finished) The sentiment is one of my new dies The image  and small sentiment was printed straight onto the card and has been coloured with copics

He had a laugh and was happy with it

Here is my DT card for creative knockouts uising a digital stamp from Mirtillamente Digital Stamps and I have chosen this image from  mirtillamente craftshop The callenge for this 2 weeks is anything goes

Here in NZ we are heading into spring so that is why I have chosen this image                                        

The card group I am in have a monthly card swap and a theme was for a trellis card I did a crossover one and want ed to do one this way thought So I folded the card and cut off the front and used the piece I cut off for the trellis I embossed the card with the woodgrain folder I then  swiped them with a distressed ink pad Rusty Hinge and cut them into the strips I needed Not that it is noticeable I have built up the I cut and pasted the image six times then fussy cut them I coloured the image with copics Stamped the plane and heart on the sky  did the sentiment on the computer

I adhered the rest of the backing paper to the inside of the card and you can see the flowers through the trellis

Embossing

This challenge for  Creative knockouts  is embossing wet or dry with an image from Beccys place and I am using this image from the book lovers set    

This image started off black & white so I put it on a word document and started to play

First I started with a frame then I picked the colour, took a while,

Then the image didn't look right black & white so I went and changed the colour of the image, that also took a while, but I was having fun there is so much you can do on a computer.

So in the end I went for the blue image, I cut two of them.

Next was did I want to colour it with copics or pencils, the reason I cut two

I didn't like either of them so decided to have it uncoloured

I embossed white card with the script folder and had some  a 12x12 size card pad that was already embossed, I did rescore it with a stylus and my score pal just to make it stand out a bit more

My sentiment did not turn out how I wanted I tried to heat emboss it using white powder didn't turn out that well so in the end I used a blue distress ink then after stamping it the first time I moved it slightly inked again then inked in the same spot with a gold sparkle ink can't see it too good  but I was pleased how it turned out

I did put a piece of string around the card and tied a bow but it looked out of place so that went

 

                                                                                            

 For this challenge at creative knockouts  is this image from the paper shelter called  summer face

I don't normally use a lot of animals for my cards so I had to really think of what to do with this image  In my Hallway I have a photo gallery of all my grand children so I thought why not for my card. 

The backing paper was to represent wall paper then I cropped my pictures so they were just bits of the photos,so as not to loose my main image coloured them with copics, cut all the frames out with the cuttle bug I also cut out plastic pieces so they looked like the glass,I glued them all together then adhered them to the white base card.The main image I adhered with thin double sided foam just to give it a bit of a lift.I downloaded the bones and balls from the net and adhered them to the card the sentiment was  a stamp

Indi

Our youngest grandchild is turning 6 on Tuesday,so this card has all the things she likes to put on a card when she makes one here so there is spotty backing paper and ribbons. She is not too sure which is her favourite colour so she has both I downloaded the image from the net coloured the star of the wand and the sentiment with a gold glitter gel pen. Added a pink butterfly Brad and the middle of the bow is also a brad then I added the coloured gems so she should like her card then again at that age they are more interested in the present  😄

 

This weeks challenge at creative knockouts was to finish the inside something I don't do too often but it does finish of the card, the image I used was tango from sheepski designs

I made my own backing paper by copying the image making it a lot smaller then pasting it about 20 times adhered it to a maroon card used the same coloured card to cut the heart die and the tag, cut a white oval I coloured the image with copics then fussy cut it, Adhered to oval with foam squares

For the inside I used the same card as the front cut a large oval out of it so the white base card can either be written or stamped on  my sentiment on here has  been stuck on with washi tape so I can take it off so I can finish it off properly when I know who I will be giving it to or the occasion. I used a heart punch to cut the side edging   

Lucas

Our eldest grandchild Lucas is turning 19 this week, where did that go. His other Grandfather has got him into Golf, he really likes it and I have to say he is rather good at it and has been playing a few tournaments,for the golf club and winning, has even beat his grandfather a couple of times So his Birthday card had to feature Golf

 

So I played around with endless pictures of golf balls and all things golf  did the sentiments got them all into the position I liked  got the middle image off the net and not that you can see it but I cut a extra ball for the main image and the one below it also the hand on the top one I was trying to attach the main ball with a spring to make it wobble, but couldn't, so I attached foam squares instead  the smaller ones I glued

I think I need to buy a new camera my photo's are not too clear
