Dirty Harold

Good Morning & Happy Thursday to you all!

I hope you've had a good week so far! 

It's time to share my card for Just Inklined with you today!

The image I have used is Dirty Harold! 

Brilliant isn't he!

He looked a bit intimidating so I put him behind a fence to contain him! 

Actually, we don't want him wandering off in his slippers now do we! 

Here he is in close up, coloured up with my promarkers, 

then cut out with a  Spellbinders Circle Nestability die and inked with

 Black Soot Distress Ink.

Paper from Papermania 

Twine is by American Crafts. 

Sentiment stamps from Lili of the Valley.

(I have long admired these, then, lucky for me, I won some blog candy,

which included a voucher for LOTV! Yay! I got my stamps!

Thanks Sammy Jean, I loved the chocolate too!)

The sentiments were stamped & then heat embossed with 

Midnight Black EP from Create & Craft

Picket Fence Die by Crafts Too 

 Card Candi from Craftwork Cards!

  "Stargazer" 

from one of this months sponsors

 Delicious Doodles

We are also sponsored this month by 

Kenny K 

 I'll share a card using one of their fantastic images a bit later on!

A closer look at the image!

As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

I used a matt black card base then used white linen embossed & matt black

 cardstock to matt & layer.

The image was printed onto the linen CS

The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards

I added matt of black cs cut with a circle nestie.

The sprinkled a few stars which were punched from black glossy finish CS.

I also decorated the inside of the card.

I was thrilled with how this one turned out, it was exactly as I pictured

it in my head! Something that doesn't always happen for me! lol!

I hope you like my card & I can't wait to see what you create!

Good Morning everyone!

It's Thursday once again & time to share another

Just Inklined card with you!

This one was made for my hubby's birthday!

It had to be quickly made as he kept following me around & was

there at every turn!  If I'd wanted him for something, he'd be

 nowhere to be seen! lol

I used a Craftwork Cards card blank for the base.

The design paper is from Southfield Stationers Craft Pad - Male.

I love this tartan paper.

Not sure why I decided on a Black & White theme but I did!

Here's a closer look at the image, it's called Speedway 

& is one of the fun exclusive images available on

The Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD- Rom 

which is still available for just $5 or £3.05.

I keep finding more & more on there!

I coloured up the image with my promarkers & matted on to

black cardstock. I added this to the card using foam tape for dimentsion.

A button threaded with a little twine was added  for embellishment,

 the sentiment was matted on to black cardstock, with brads added

 to each end & then attached to the card using foam tape.

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you like this little card!
