Cheerful stamp pad challenge 117: anything goes

This is my design card for the Cheerful stamp pad challenge 117: anything goes, sponsored by Little Blue Button Stamps. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and we would love to see your entries for the challenge.

For my card I used the lovely 'dream Charlie' image kindly supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button. I coloured this with spectrum noir pens and tore the oval around a perspex template, using a larger one for the surrounding oval torn from an offcut of spotted paper. The main background paper is an offcut piece of DCWV, with the addition of the chipboard sentiment and flowers from Hobbycraft.

A bit more time to craft

A new challenge blog starts today: A bit more time to craft challenge 1 - please click on the link to find out all about it and join in the fun.

My card is one that I was commissioned to make for a 12 year old who, like most his age, is interested in techie things!

The background is from a Kanban sentiments book of cards and the pictures are all old Kanban photo toppers that I've had waiting for the right reason to come along to use them. The band across the bottom was taken from a mouse pad paper pad from Wilkinson's.

Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 91

This is my design card for Suzy Bee's bloomin' challenge 91: anything goes with a twist ... wings or feathers. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

I used the Pickled Potpourri Designs 'tail feathers' image, kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, colouring with chameleon pens. The background paper was a couple of scrap pieces from my offcuts box (originally from a magazine, I think) and I used DCWV ribbons top and bottom and the sentiment generated on my dymo letratag.
