SU Brads and Buttons

SU Only Challenge this week was to use Brads and Buttons. I thought this card would be very well suited to this challenge. If you are wondering what the buttons are, they are supposed to represent the rocks in the back of the dump truck. So I used the stamp set from Stampin Up called I dig You. Being in the Civil Construction field of work myself, this stamp set suits us to the bone, although we have the real things in the back yard, same colour, just a bit bigger.

Dynamic Bugs

Yet another Bus and Kisses card. This one is for the Dynamic Duo challenge of Crumb cake and another colour of your choice. I chose So Saffron. Only because I have not used this colour for a while now. I also included the banner from Little Additions stamp set. Love using this banner on my cards.

Bugs and Kisses 2

I stumbled across the Just Add Ink challenge site this morning (so I'm a little bit slow) and fell in love with this colour scheme. Since I had the Bugs and Kisses stamp set out already, I decided that I would make another card using the bugs. They really are very cute. So the colours are listed above, and I have already named the stamp set, so that is about it for this card. Well apart from the fact that I followed the Sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. Both links are included below, so click away, and have a play. lol

Bugs R Us

Here is the card I created for the Connie and Mary Colour Challenge 208, using the above colours as reference. I decided that I would use an old stamp set, that is still one of my favourites, although discontinued. I thought that the colours in this card looked a little buggy to me, so it was the perfect stamp set. Check out the challenge site of Connie and Mary's, there are heaps of example cards using the same colours. All items on this card are Stampin Up of course.

Happy Dirtday

I made this card using the colours from Create with Connie and Mary ccmc199-color-challenge.html

These colours seemed to scream earthmoving equipment, and who was I to stand in the way. So really there is not much to blog about this card as it is nearly all stamp set.

Mojo Sketch 180

I made this little fellow from a digital image from Tiddlyink.com for the latest Mojo Monday Sketch. I used my copic markers for the colouring, Stampin Up Designer Papers and my Quickutz soccer ball die. I thought this little soccer ball fitted in well, considering it is a soccer themed card. All I need to do now, is find someone who plays soccer.

OOPS, I was meant to say I made this card for Sketch 184. Not 180.

Boys

So I didn’t realise that I had made so many cards this year. I will be sitting here for days, just updating my blog.

Pirates

I started this card when I posted the other Pirate card I made, CASEing from Paul Ford’s blog from Bugaboo Stamps.

I used the computer to colour the image to match the Stampin up designer papers I wanted to use and then I used my pro markers to outline the image. I pinched this technique from Paul. Awesome artist.

Products used are from Stampin Up.
