GDT for Papertake Weekly

It's Tuesday so that means it's time for my second card for Papertake Weekly Challenge...yay!! This weeks theme is "Father's Day"....so how easy can that be??

I have gone for something a wee bit different...the stamp is called Sail Away from Stampin up which I stamped onto kraft card.  The papers are Carta Bella Giggy Up Boy which was layered onto bazzill card. I also used several die-namics blueprints to cut out some elements for the card...hope you likey!!

A Little Hug...

Hello everyone...hope you are all enjoying your weekend!!  I have been a bit manic with work recently however this is the first weekend in a wee while that I haven't had to work so priorities right and a card was in the making!!

The lovely Abi sent me these papers and they are beautiful, gorgeous colours and right up my street...thank you my love!! So I hope you like what I have made with them...

So this is my favourite sketch...you may have noticed, I sometimes do a wee variation it it though...the stamp is "A Little Hug" from Leanne Ellis at Sugar Nellie, the papers are MME - Hattie, the flowers have been cut with 2 different die-namics dies, the buttons have also been cut using a die-namics die. The hearts have been cut with my sizzix hearts die....so I am not into valentines although I think this looks ok, non pink but with hearts.

I layers the papers onto kraft card and doodled around each of the edges of the layers, I also did a bit of distressing to the layers, I coloured the image with copics and then shaded with polychromos.  I layered the image onto the card and added a ribbon and tied a little bow at the side.  I attached a die cut button and charm, added the die cut flowers and hearts. The sentiment is from Personal Impressions which I thought matched the image well...
