Totally Gorjuss - Lovey Dovey - 223

Love is in the air - and I'm all lovey dovey!!

So with that in mind here's my DT card for this week's challenge over at Totally Gorjuss,.The theme this week is LOVEY DOVEY (obviously).  The is actually my hubbie's Valentine's card - he loved it.

Here's What I Did -
The cream card base is an 8 x 8. The red background card was distressed with scissors and distressing ink, this is not my normal style but I thought I'd give it a go.  I cut a piece of Kraft paper into a large banner and partially rolled the end (this was originally the liner paper rolled inside my Xmas paper - I keep everything lol). I threaded some Bakers Twine down the centre and tied it in a knot with a die cut heart button to secure it.  I tore and distressed the edges and added some distressing inks to age it.  The cute cupid was printed out 4 times, coloured with Copics, cut out and layered up. I die cut the letters and hearts which were attached to the card base along with some Candi.  My cute cupid was such a dream to colour in, but a nightmare to cut out....especially his arms and legs. But it was definitely worth it.

Here's What I Used - 
Digi: Make it Crafty 'Whoopsie Cupid'
Cardstock: Cream CS, Red CS, Paper Pad (Can't remember the name - sorry!), Kraft Paper
Copics: Skin - E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13, R30, R20 / Hair/Undies/Quiver - R32, R35, R37, R46, R59 / Bow Shaft - E33, E35, E57 / Wings - BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09

Sweet Stampin' Challenge Card - Last Minute Christmas

Hello everyone and welcome, today it's my turn to create my Design Team card for Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog. The theme this week is LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS and  remember your card/project must have a stamped element on it. We hold a weekly challenge with a fantastic prize plus a monthly prize draw for everyone who enters a card/project throughout the month. 

My DT card this week was made for my hubbie a day before he went back on the rigs in the North Sea - basically I erm, forgot! I thought I had loads of time but I didn't hence the last minute bit.  So my contribution this is was apt.  Hope you like, I know he did.  It's a 8 x 8 card so the digi stamp on it is really large so it looks fab. I used a simple background to keep it simple.  The digi was printed 3 times, coloured with Copics, cut out and layered up.  The base layer included the sentiment and his hand. I finished it off with a tag die and some holly.

 Here's what I used:

Digi Stamp: Make It Crafty 'Cheery - Santa'

Cardstock: Kraft Card, Red CS, First Edition 'Nordic Christmas', Velvet CS (for markers)
