May Card Sketch challenge with the Fisk-a-teers

Hello Everyone!

Today i have for you a great Challenge.

Rebecca's May Card Sketch Challenge over at the Fisk-a-teers website.

Here is the sketch for this month.

If you would like to have a go just click on the above link to enter.

Here is the card i created with this layout.

To make this card i used my trusty old shape express and templates. Spellbinder eat your heart out!!!!

I got a great window in my card and made a frame to place my sentiment on with my shape templates and go a great effect at the fraction of the cost of a set of spellbinder dies! how great is that!!!! you can still buy all the templates and starter kit in Spotlight!! 

Once i did this i then took a paper smooches chubby chum stamp and coloured it. i Then used my Fiskars finger tip knife to cut the bird out, and die cut a couple of leaves and a branch. I glued them inside my card and used 3D foam for the bird so he looked like he was coming out the window.

Lastly i stamped my sentiment around the frame and glued it on.

So if you would like to have a go at this great challenge, head on over to the Fisk-a-teers website and have a go!!!

Masculine Card with Mad for Markers

Hello there everyone!
I hope you are enjoying your first week of out new challenge. This one was a hard one for me as i do not really have many manly images....i have 2 girls so not really much need for them i suppose! Anyway i finally found something to use for masculine card.

I used the Greeting farm build a ones-ie for boys clear stamp set and coloured with several copics shown below

I then used several Fiskars border punches and some kaisercraft papers.

lastly i used some bobbly eyes to finish off the little monster and a sentiment sticker.

If you would like to have a go at this challenge check out the right side bar on the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog and add a card!
