Clearly Besotted Month #7 Pick a plushie

Clearly Besotted Month #6 Fluffy Flamingos

Snarky Valentine

 The newest Clearly Besotted release is all about Valentine.

Now I don't send out Valentine cards, but this set has cats, so seemed mandatory ;-)

It's Clearly Besotted Purrfect Valentine and the Sentiment is also Clearly Besotted Laugh Out Loud Love.

Simon Says Stamp carries them and I thought they would be perfect for the new and  or unused challenges at the Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenges. I may or may not have entered a few this week ;-)

I've stamped the cats with Gina K amalgam ink and colored them with Alcohol markers from Graph it. cut them out.

I made a stencil with heart shaped nesting dies and applied Distress inks through it (Candied apple, Mustard Seed, Picked raspberry and Wilted violet).

Stamped and messed up the sentiment, so I layered another on top, mounted that with foamtape and the cats with two layers of foamtape, adhered them to the cardbase.

AAA Cards Challenges #181: Up to1/3 + Summer in January

 Welcome back to another year of AAA Cards Challenges every other week.

This fortnight it's : Up to 1.3 and Summer in January.

For my card I've used an old stamp from A Create a Smile kit, called Frosty fun.I think it's a snowman building a snowfort, but I turned it into a beach scene with sand castle.Shame he's wearing a winter sweater, but hey  he might get sunburn if  not ;-)....Anyway this is my take on Summer in January, you might have better ideas, so play along.

I've stamped the image and sentiment with Gina K ink and coloured it with Alcohol markers.

Adhered the panel to a cardbase with tape runner.

It's cold outside

 Infact it was frosty this morning.

The Less is More Challenge this fortnight is: Fashion and or accessories.

I thought my Penguin from Woodware looked very dapper in his new jumper.

And as it's the first time I use it, I shall also enter it into the Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenge: Something new.

I stamped the Penguin with Versafine ink and colored it with Talens Ecoline, adhered it to a cardbase with taperunner.

Clearly Besotted Month #5 Anteater Antics

Three's a party! and DT

 The Male Room Challenge this month is: animals.

And they're having a DT call too, so go check them out if you fancy a spot. I've added DT behind my name, so fingers crossed.

I've used a Mo's Digital Pencil digi for my card. Although  these pigs are the obligatory pink ones, I think they're attitude qualifies for a male card.Also I didn't want to confuse people with spotted or brown ones, but I've used two kinds of pink and a muddy field.

Coloured the image with watercolours from Talens Ecoline and set it with a fixative spray.

Mounted the panel with foamtape.
