Need for Speed

Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Sunday if you can. Had a busy day yesterday but ended it with a lovely trip down to the coast at Whitstable. We sat on the beach at Sunset eating fish and chips looking at a fantastic view with good friends, beautiful.


Anyhow back to business, today is a new challenge at Here Come the Boys challenge blog and I am sponsoring the prize. So if you fancy winning a Stampin Up Ink Pad and some ribbons make sure you check out the blog and enter. The theme is Orange and Brown. I chose one of the stamps from the mini catalogue, Motorcycle, and had a go using a brayer to make the background. The colours used are Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Soft Suede. I am no expert with a brayer but I was pleased with the result.


Hope you like the card and don't forget to check out the design teams great cards on the blog.

Medallion Man!

It was my regular Monday night class yesterday, we had two new peeps, Glenda and Sandra, welcome and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. We had a really good laugh with lots of Chocolate.
The theme was cards for men (always tricky!). It was a great reason to use some of the delicious To the Nines designer paper, until you see this in real life it is difficult to appreciate just what excellent quality this is. Textured and double sided, a real luxury.

We made an origami shirt and a cute tie from the Soft Suede polka dot ribbon, I found the idea on Monica's blog and thought it would be perfect for this card. We also made a faux button from punched circles of cardstock with Crystal Effects to add shine.

The second card is a more vintage style, using the Medallion and French Script background stamps. We sponged some soft suede ink over the image to soften the white cardstock.


Our last project was this hanging treat holder, there was a bar of chocolate sitting in it, but that got eaten last night!

Thanks for looking
