I got a little carried away with the Deedee's images, I think because I usually find masculine cards such a challenge, but Deedee's pre-coloured images are such fun to work with and make masculine cards quick and easy!

Using Vintage Media

 The DP is from the set, and the woodgrain embossing folder is a 6x6 from X-Cut.

I cut the image/sentiment and layered it using SB 5x7Matting Basics A & B

 Using Grillin' & Chillin'

 I fussy cut the little images from the set and used SB Labels 46 for both the main image and sentiment

Using Sing Praises

 The image was cut with my paper trimmer and layered using my Perfect Layers tool. The sentiment is cut and layered with punches. The die cuts are SB Inspire - Prickly Pear

Outlawz Greetings Card Challenge

Happy Monday

The sun is shining in my little corner of the UK and at last I seem to be on the mend after a small op on my toes! I had some tiny kittens come in, who were so poorly with a viral infection I sadly lost 3 out of the litter of 4. I am hoping the last little one will be home today as it has been in the vets since last Thursday. 

This week it is time to emboss it over at the Outlawz Greetings Card Challenge 

Our Fab sponsor for this challenge is

Dotty About Outlawz

Happy Monday

It has been a sad week since my last Outlawz post, my dear friend Chana has decided to step down from the team, she has been out intrepid leader for such a long time and I will miss her terribly. The bad news for the team is they will now have to put up with me leading them, with the lovely Linda Webber as my right hand girl, I promise to do my best for not only the team, but all you lovely people who take time to enter our challenges each week.

So as the title says we are going a little dotty this week, as the theme for The Greetings Card challenge is "Polkadots"

Our lovely sponsor for this challenge is 

My card uses the image - Heels Polkadots

I started by colouring the image with Copic markers, and then fussy cut it out. I added some Stickles, this I will admit is a first I think for me, I purchased this product in several colours a couple of years ago in a sale, and there they have sat. Well perhaps you may see them and some Perfect Pearls popping up occasionally in future. I used Spellbinders Card Creator Matting Basics B and Polkadots  and also the M-Bossabilities folder Graduated Dots, to complete my project, you may recognise the flower from yesterdays post, it was a left over that was just begging to be used.
