Birdbrain Ninja

This is another card that I made for my husbands birthday, this one was for my eldest son to give him.  I chose this image because our surname is Bird and he is a Black Belt in both Tae Kwon Do and  Kickboxing.

The brilliant image is 'From the Heart - Birdbrain Ninja' and I have coloured him with ProMarkers.  The papers are from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome paper pack and the border is a Spellbinders die.  LOTV sentiment tags attached with a brad and some red twine complete my card.

I have decorated the inside of my card with the same papers and design.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - T for Twine
Craftitude Challenge 52 - Anything Goes/Use Twine or String

Remember ...

This is the card I have made for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Stripey.  My stripes are embossed on the white panel down the side of my card, I hope this is OK.

The image is from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew Collection and the poppy papers are from her Pamela West Collection.  The embossed stripes were created with my Cuttlebug Candy Cane Stripes embossing folder and I have punched the edge of the panel with a Fiskars edge punch.  I have kept my design quite simple because I did not want to detract from the beautiful Poppy image.

I have decorated the inside of my card with the same papers.

Sending Christmas Cheer

This is another Christmas card, I really need to get my act together if I'm going to make enough cards to send to friends and family this year.

I have used another image from the fabulous LOTV Festive Foliage Art Pad and papers from the Carta Bella 'so this is Christmas' collection - quite different from my last CAS Christmas card.

I cut the image out with a Spellbinders die cut circle and mounted it on a scalloped circle, the border has been punched with a Fiskars edge punch and the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat mounted on a hand cut banner.  I added some 3D Crystal Laquer to the berries and some pearls from my stash.
