Hey , hope all is well with you and yours.
Today launches a new challenge over at the Cutie PiesChallenge Blog and our theme this fortnight is ‘One for the Boys’. Now we all know those male persons in our
lives are notoriously difficult to cater for so pop over
to see what my fellow Cuties have created here. They have
designed some amazing makes that can’t fail to inspire you. And don’t forget to make them cute. Yes, hard to believe, but boys can be cute
too!
This week we are sponsored by Di’sDigi Downloads and one lucky winner will win a selection of digi stamps from
Di’s fabulous online store.
For my card I chose to
use a Di’s Digi called ‘On the Bench’. I
love this little guy and his dog is so cute (and so good!). I coloured him with Pro/Flexmarkers and
created grass and a cloudy sky so he wasn’t ‘floating’. I used Glossy Accents on his boots; the black
areas of the footballs and of course the little doggie’s nose. He is being a very good boy that dog. If that was one of mine they would off down
the football field eating the ball before you could say “SIT!” (Sigh!)
Anyway, I have a bit of a fetish for making things! “Really”,
you say, “you’re a card maker you Wally, of course you like making things”. No, what I mean by making things is exactly
that; ‘things’: ‘things’ or ‘objects’ to
put on my cards. And in this case my ‘things’ are a goal, a flag and a
scarf. I know I really should know
better and stop embarrassing myself in this way, but I get these ideas and I’m
like a runaway train; there’s just no stopping me!
So, in full ‘must make a ‘thing’’ mode I started with my goal. The mesh is made from a Spellbinders lattice die
and the posts are simply rolled up pieces of paper. To hide the joins I stamped
a football and added a flag made from a toothpick and a Spellbinders Ribbon
banner die with the end chopped off! My
‘scarf’ is cut freehand (that’s why it’s hidden behind the images :{) from
stripy paper with bakers twine tassels tied on the ends for extra scarfyness!
So there you go, some Tattered lace corners to finish and we
have ‘One for the Boys’.
See ya!
Smiling always (I have 3 brothers; this one has a home
already!)!
Scribbly hugs
