CYP #76 - Occupational Hazards - Dude Time Doodles

Our challenge over at Craft Your Passion this week is "Occupational Hazards"... and I got a chance to work with this great image from Dude Time Doodles. I normally struggle with masculine cards, but this one was cake because of this wonderful image. I can't wait to give this card away to just the right man. It's such a guy thing!

I colored the image with my Copics, used some great papers from DCWV - masculine pack - added eyelets to frame the image... the sentiment just seemed to fit! The end result is a fun card that will bring someone a smile.

You should come over to Craft Your Passion and join in all the fun - there's a great chance to win some wonderful prizes, enjoy some inspiration and make some new friends. Hope to see your work soon!

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

Just Us Girls - #102 - Color challenge
Cute Card Thursday - #182 - Anything Goes
My Mum's Craft Shop - #23 - Birthday

Have a great week!

Steampunk goes wild...



This was soooo much fun to create... I've been working on it for about two weeks, not really sure what I was doing, but loving the images so much that just kept trying to mix and match them to get it all to come together. I started with the adorable ladies from TidlyInks, then came up with the wonderful Steampunk treehouse from Make It Crafty. Then added the amazing frame from Delicious Doodles. After all the coloring with my Copics I layed some scrap paper, some funky ribbon mesh , some lace, on the background before adding the images. The the buttons, butterfly, roses, flowers, and the such all found a home on the by-now-very-heavy card. I ended up spraying some Glimmer Mist in copper over most of it, giving it a little added sparkle and speckled grunge look. I hope you enjoy!

Adorable Little Bear





I've gone flower crazy!!! It's been so much fun creating my own flowers - last night (I didn't sleep much btw) I put on a season of 24 and just started playing. I've made several different types, still working on some others. This card came together somewhere about episode 12! LOL. I got this freebie cute little bear stamp in a magazine package from The Wild Ones... Isn't he just too adorable? I used the Mojo Monday sketch that seemed to fit this image really easily. There were no design struggles on this one at all. I colored the image with distress inks, although it looks just like Copics this time around. I punched the image with a large scallop punch, added hand-stitching and bling and it was done before I could see how Jack deals with the huge mess CTU is faced with this time, hehehe!

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
