Crazy 4 Challenges #91, It's a Man thing!

 

Our Fabby Crazy Lynda, brings us a Masculine Card Challenge Today! How Fun~

I broke out my new IPPITY Stamps for this one!

THE MAN

is one of the fun new Stamp Sets available exclusively from your Ippity Chick!

I'm offering Free Shipping on purchases over $35.00 this weekend and some blog candy! Check it out in this post HERE

 
I used this fun DP From Fancy Pants (it's the little things) and my new Fleur de Lis Rectangle Nestabilitie. I stamped the shirt image onto the DP and then sponged around the edges with black ink (hint: I cut along the sleeve line to ensure to get ink in all the right places to create shading). I have to apologize a wee bit for my stitching. It appears that my sewing machine has gone on the blink and I'm probably going to have to take it in for service...........so the sewing is a little gnarly..........thank goodness it's a MANLY card.........men don't mind gnarly........in fact they almost relish it!  Anyhoooo, I hope you all are having an AMAZING weekend!

Everything's coming up daisies!

 

I have a few samples of the latest release from the {Stamps} of  Life. Daisies2garden is perfect for quick and easy cards!

Each of these cards worked up very quickly, but I still like the way that they look! 

This card was a little more time consuming because of the reverse masking, but even at that, It was still a really quick card.

All Cards were made with the Daisies2garden set and you can find it HERE

C4C90 -It's Inspiring~!

This week, our lovely crazy Lynda presented us with this pretty pretty picture for our inspiration!

Here's what I came up with!

What stood out for me in the photo was the colour combination and the crows~ Luckily, I have this fun crow stamp from Stampotique Originals!  I used Crow Line along the top and bottom of the card after having created this fun background with sponges and Tim Holtz Distress Inks!

I cut out one extra crow and grounded it on this pretty Grass Stamp.

Lastly, I added the Sentiment, which you can find HERE

The {Stamps} of Life-June Release

I'm excited to share two samples for you from the latest Stamp set now available at the {Stamps} of Life. What's not to love about Kids2love. So stinkin' cute that I can't stand it!
For my little Girl Card I used a combination of Jillbean Blossom Soup Paper, Lavender and Red Cardstock......who'd have thought they would match up okay!!!


I call this card "Leave it to Bieber"! I used one of the pony tails in the set to create this "Bieberish do". It seems to be a popular cut, but most boys would NEVER admit that it was a "Bieber Bob!" lol.............Jonathon had one for a bit, but quickly ridded himself of it when someone mentioned it resembled the "Bieb". I used the clouds from the Kites2fly set to make a bit of a background on the card base. Martha Stewart (Border) and EK Success (Stitch) punches were used to jazz up the turquoise layer. The blades of grass are made with the same stamp that I made the little lady's bangs with!!! I coloured with Copics on both images. Lastly, I used some Stayzon Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the ginormous green brad. Be sure to head on over to the {Stamps} of Life Gallery to see all the yummy new samples!


Happy Stamping!
