Your favourite movie for Sweet Stampin'

Hi everybody

Here comes my second post for Sweet Stampin' and Carrie chose the theme of Favourite Movie.  This week we are sponsored by Fairy Dust Crafts, and our monthly sponsor is Pollycraft Digi Stamps.

This was something of a struggle for me - I am not really a movie buff - I don't often go to the cinema - and most often wait until something comes on TV - usually pay per view, or whatever it is called, and I know there are a couple scheduled for the end of this month. 

One thing I did decide that it was not going to be cute this time around, so out came my Tim Holtz stamps, and something from B Line Designs.

My background is a variety of Distress Inks on to Ranger Manilla Card.  It was so easy to blend on this card - the first time I have used it and very impressed.  I stamped the Umbrella Man - such a favourite of mine - and then masked him to stamp the Tower Bridge in the background.  The stippling  represents the rain falling.  My sentiment refers to 'dancing in the rain' - well Gene Kelly did dance in the rain, as well as 'Singing in the Rain'.  I attached an Ideology fragment with a piece of calendar behind it and  black/grey thread pulled through it.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Res-Q-Challenge - A touch of pink
Daring Cardmakers - Home baked - I made my embellishment
Moving Along with the Times - Card or Project for a male
Paper Romance - Use as many colours as possible
For Your Inspiration - photo inspiration

I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

A very simple Christmas card - maybe for a guy ...

This stamp is from a set of Elusive Image stamps I have had for a long time, and not really used.  I quite like the image of the reindeer with the swirls, and wanted to stamp in a colour to go with the tartan ribbon,  Hence the red.  I do think probably I need to find a slightly darker red next time around though.  Either side of the ribbon I have scored a couple of lines to add a bit more interest., but they don't show in the photo.

I am going to enter it into the following challenges:

Cards for men - anything goes
Stamping 411 - I followed their sketch

A lazy Sunday afternoon - Sweet Stampin'- DT Post

Hi everybody

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend.  As I write this, on what was supposed to be a warm, sunny day, it is cold, miserable and raining, and I am wearing a thck fleece over two t-shirts.  Aaargh!

The challenge on Sweet Stampin' this week is clean and simple.  To most people this is probably not clean and simple, but I was just itching to use this LOTV image for a male card.  I have coloured with Copicsa, used Nesties to cut out the image, and the textured background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder which I have run through the Cuttlebug, and then lightly rubbed over some Distress Ink.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

CAS-tastic Challenge #8 - Father's Day
Cupcake Craft Challenge #95 - One for the Boys
Cards for Men #12 - Father's Day
Stampin' Royalty #24 - Masculine theme


Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.
