Fathers Day rushed card!

I was so busy this weekend that the Fathers Day card for my Dad was made in a bit of a rush! I went through my box of stamped images already coloured and went for the footballer.

The image and football are from Elzybells and the wording is from an Elzybells clear set. Inside it is stamped with Happy Fathers Day. The image was coloured with Koh-i-Noor pencils (also from Elzybells) and the boots were accented with Glossy Accents. The glittery paper was bought a long time ago from Craftwork Cards.

Another male birthday card!

This card I made for my husbands birthday last week. I didn't know what stamps to use, so I used some new ones I'd bought from Elzybells. I wanted to use the car as I had booked a Rally Driving lesson for my husband the next day, but then I thought it was a bit small for the large card so I also used the snoozing bear. I had intended to use a "rest, relax, enjoy" stamp, but then I couldn't work out how to place everything on the card and it turned out like this. I'm not 100% happy with it because it ended up being a bit rushed in the end and I was so tired after wrapping the presents and making the cake!

All of the stamps are from Elzybells, the car and snoozing bear are unmounted ones and the others are from clear sets. The images have been coloured with Copic markers and the car has been covered in Glossy Accents (and stuck down with lots of foam pads as the card went a bit warped). The cardstock is Bazzill; blue Bazzill Bling and black (pepper) swiss dotted.

ATC of the week!

As I colour so many stamped images, I thought it would be a good idea to try ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) about a month ago. I was a bit daunted at first but found they were really enjoyable. I subscribe to the do-crafts newsletter and discovered that they have a weekly ATC competition for ATC's using their products, so I made a couple of ATC's using Papermania/Anitas/Dovecraft products from Do-Crafts. I was delighted to read the newsletter last week to find my ATC was ATC of the week! I am now inspired to make some more.
