Shy

Good evening, what terrible weather we are having here today, I hope you are all well.  This is a card I've made using the sketch over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog.

The image is Mo Manning's 'Shy' and I have coloured her with a combination of ProMarker and  Spectrum Noir pens.   The backing papers are from the Pink Petticoat Wild Blossoms collection that came free with my Quick Cards magazine.  I didn't have any ribbon to match so I coloured some seam binding with my Spectrum Noir pens and finished my card with some layered flowers topped with a button from my stash.

Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

This is the inside of my card that has been decorated to complement the front.

Paul Texting

This is the second card I made for my 15 year old sons friend, I wanted to give him a choice.  This time I used another Mo Manning image - Paul Texting and coloured him using a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Pens.  I have to say I think this is my favourite of the two but my son chose 'Air Guitar'.

I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and made this one quite a bit brighter than the last one.  I used some My Mind's Eye papers I've had hanging around for a while and used Kraft for the base again.  Some texture was added with corrugated card and raffia.  The buttons were from my stash and the sentiment tag is cut down from my Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio Three and stamped with a LOTV sentiment.  Full details of everything I have used are detailed below.

As usual I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Air Guitar

Good evening, I hope you've had a good weekend.  This is a card I've made for my son to give a friend for his birthday.  They are both 15, a rather difficult age to put it mildly.

The image is 'Air Guitar' by Mo Manning and the papers are a NitWit download.  The music strip is from a kit by Hunkydory.  I followed Sue's sketch over at  Sketch n Stash and added a few bits from my stash along with a stamped tag from LOTV.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.
