For A Guy at Make My Monday

Hi all,

Its Monday and that means it's time for a new challenge over on the Make My Monday Blog!  The lovely Meg is out host for this one and she has chosen "For a guy young or old"

This worked out quite well for me, as I needed a retirement card.  My postie is retiring.. I think he may be so tired with always walking up my steep driveway with my craft supplies....OK OK and my wine deliveries teehee!

So here is my card for him, let's hope that this card represents his free time from now on LOL

This is a stamp from LOTV, but they are now available in Digi's.  I've coloured it with Copics.
Used up some of my Old Olive Stampin Up! paper and DSP.  I've also used two punches and a sentiment by SU too.
The fence & grass are by Spellbinders. And a couple of stitched ovals to make a frame and to cut out the DSP.
This card has been popped up on fun foam and the image has been recessed for some added interest.
Here's a couple of more photos

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to come and join us for this new challenge over on the Make My Monday Blog!

Make my Monday #99 - Begins with letter B

Happy Monday to you all, and that means it's challenge time again over on the Make my Monday blog! Amy is our lovely host of this challenge.

This challenge is  - begins with the letter B...  Well I thought of a few things that begin with the letter B... Blue Sky ( I'm missing that at the moment as it's winter here in Melbourne) Birds, Butterflies and a Bike... so I've incorporated all of that into my DT card!

Apart from the background everything else is dies, I haven't played much with my dies lately and it was really rather fun to get them out again and play!

The background is MFT cloud and Radiating Rays stencil, and the sentiment is also MFT from the Full of Sunshine set.

The first strip of grass, the tiny birds are also by MFT, the butterflies are by SSS, and the fence, gate and arbour are all by Taylored Expressions. The second strip of grass a Lawn Fawn die, and the bike I'm not sure on as I've lost my packaging for that..

I coloured the bike with Copics and then went over it with nuvo mousse to give it a bit of shine, and added a few black pearls.  The fence, gate and arbour I ran through an embossing folder to give it a bit of dimension!

Hope you like the card, and hopefully you'll come and join us at Make My Monday! Here's a couple more photo's!

Thanks for stopping by!
