Fantasy Stampers Challenge 12 - For the Boys

Good morning everyone,

It's time for our next challenge over at my challenge blog - 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

Well we are nearly at our six month marker - I can't believe it! Although we have been experiencing a low number of entries for the last couple of themes and I just wondered if there were any changes that you would like to see on the blog to improve it - would love to hear your thoughts ...

So, onto the next challenge - for the next two weeks the new theme will be ...

I think this will be a more popular theme and with Father's Day coming up we have a great reason to make a male themed card. Although your entry can be for anything male related - so birth to retirement and anywhere in between.

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

I made this one for my Dad for Father's Day using an 8x8" ivory scalloped card blank. I used a combination of kraft card and a gorgeous plum coloured backing paper from my stash for the layers. The image is LOTV 'A Lick of Paint' and is coloured with my Promarkers. I added a piece of ribbon, a button and some card candi to embellish, finished off with a sentiment printed on my pc.

Why not pop over and check out what my teamies made for their inspiration.

Jeans and Denim

Hi there crafty friends,

I am loving my time off school - it gives me loads of time to craft without feeling guilty! I have been playing this morning making a card for the 'Graph'It Markers challenge', although I have to say I used my Promarkers as I don't own any Graph Its. The challenge this week is to colour 'Jeans and Denim' - so here's what I made ...

I automatically thought of a boys card when I thought of denim (I know - a bit stereotypical!) so reached straight for my Polkadoodles CDs which I know have a great selection of boy images to colour. I used pale blue, denim blue, cornflower blue and cool grey 4 to colour both the jeans and shirt (I wanted to keep the monochrome effect to enter another challenge). All other items are from my stash.

I would also like to enter the challenge at 

'That Craft Place' 

which is Monochrome.

Have a great day,

Jan xx
