Cutie Pie Challenge Blog – Father’s Day

Hello, hope you are well!  Oh, wow! I just realised that I missed my 1 year Blogaversry (the jury’s still out on how you spell that one) which was on 3^rd June! I can’t believe that it has been a whole year since I started this venture! Where’s that gone?!! And, this is my 100th post too! Cor blimey, I think I need a sit down! J

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to my little band of loyal followers and those who comment so regularly! I have been blown away by this whole experience and continue to be on a daily basis! I have to admit that it’s all been a bit like Narnia for me!  An incredible world that was under my nose the whole time (but with less lions, witches and wardrobes)!!

So waffle over we begin a new challenge over at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog today and our theme this fortnight is Father’s Day!

This time we are sponsored by the fabby Bugaboo Stamps with this amazing prize on offer to one lucky winner!

I love this little cowboy (available here) and have to admit to singing ‘Home on the Range’ almost constantly whilst making this card. Be grateful you were not in earshot!! My poor dogs!!

This was one of my ‘evolving’ creations that just sort of grew and grew! I knew I wanted to do a stepper card and shrink the digi to use as part of a ‘Wanted’ poster and it just escalated from there really!

Ingredients:

Dies: SB ‘Cherry Blossoms’ & ‘Classic Ovals’ – Tattered lace letters from ‘Alphabet Bunting’

Paper/Card: Kraft – textured white vellum (coloured with SN markers TN4 & TN6 to make it look like a leather belt)

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers and pencils – ‘Vintage Photo’ DI

Others: Computer generated sentiment made into a poster – brads – string (from a wedding invitation!?!) – Horse charm from The Hobby House

Hopeless Hand drawings: Wanted poster outline - Cactus (no it’s not a waving alien! How rude!! J J )

Pop over to the Cutie Pies blog to see the amazing inspiration created by my teamies and play along.  Oh and please, please, please don’t forget to make your creation CUTE!

Thanks so much for looking, and have a great day!

Yee ha and see ya!

Colourful hugs
