Lovely as an Oak tree

I'm using one of my favourite sets, Lovely as a tree by Stampin Up, the backing card I scored with my new Hougie board, so easy to use scoring every centimeter. the corners are from the winter set of cuttlebug, the sentiment was computer generated, this card is for the following challenges:-

Our creative corner where special attention had to be given to corners.
One stop craft challenge where I used the sketch they gave us.
Cup cake craft challenge where they asked for One for the Boys, a card suitable for a male.
Magical crafts fortnightly challenge, they also asked for a card for a man.

Nature Challenge

There is a Nature challenge at Pink Elephant this week, so I knew the stamp I was going to use... one from the Stampin Up Lovely as a Tree, I didnt use the whole stamp just 2 trees, coloured these with my whisper pens back them with browm card, the sentiment was computer generated and again backed with brown card as was the 70... I used some string to get some texture across the middle of the card. The paper I used was from the Papermania Earth tones pad.

Black fantasy tree

I started by mounting my base card with some pretty green paper Jo gave me ages ago when we first met, and yes I have only just got around to using it, and yes, using my fabulous Penny Black fantasy tree again, this time I have embossed it with black embossing powder onto yellow card and backed it with black card, taken the corners out of the yellow card with my ticket punch, I dont have any yellow brads to punched out tiny circles from the yellow card for the corners. My sentiment was computer generated. I finished off the card with 3 black jewels and some black swirls. This covers the challenge for Mondays colour challenge at Stamp TV where had to use sage green, yellow, black and white, and also the challenge at Raisethebarchallenge where we had to use old designer paper.
Thank you for looking..

Penny Black Tree

There is a challenge at Penny Black Saturday to make a Christmas card for the guys, so I thought I just must use that lovely big tree stamp, so I embossed it with silver and layered it only silver backing card, and did the same with the sentiment, then finished it off with 3 silver gems.

No stamping card

This is for the Allsorts challenge, it had to be a card using no rubber stamps! the lower half of this card was computer generated using lots of different fonts, and printed straight onto the card as was Keith's name. The 60 was computer generated and then layed onto black card. I finished it off with a piece of red ribbon.

Vintage motorbike

Yes Im still here, dont know where the time goes! here I have made a card for a friend and Anne was kind enough to lend me a motorbike stamp which after stamping I embossed with gold, as I did with the sentiment which was computer generated. The design paper was one I won in a design competition months ago, the grid design was cut out using a cuttlebug border die trimmed slightly. I am entering this in the Allsorts challenge which this weeks calls for Vintage. Thank you for coming to look.

Lovely as a Tree - Oak

Im back stamping again... this time I used my Stampin Up stamps Lovely as a Tree, using the large oak tree for the centrepiece, this was embossed with copper, as were the oak leaves. The sentiment was computer generated and again embossed with copper, both were mounted on brown CS. The green background was stamped on the lower half with the oak leaves using Versamark watermark stamp pad. I finished it off with brown ribbon and 6 brown brads.
This card fitter the challenges for StampTV where I had to use Brown and one other colour, ABC challenge where metallic had to be used, Creative Card Crew Challenge where the card had to be embossed in some way. Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge asked this week for brads or eyelets. One stop Craft Challenge was to see some cut work on my card.
Thank you for stopping by ... Jose

Fantasy

This weeks Penny Black challenge was Monochromatic you can choose Black & White, or you can go with different shades of one colour so I opted for browns. I used the PB stamp Fantasy and embossed it with copper.

Stripey waistcoat

The Darling Challenge 'a card can be for any age from 1 to a 100 but it must have a number on it ' so here is mine
I have seen several waistcoat cards but didn't have a template for one, so drew this myself, and quite pleased with the result.
