The Robyns Fetish Challenge # 160 "Four Legged Friends"

The Robyns Fetish Challenge is being sponsored this week by Oak Pond Creations with a lovely prize of 3 digital stamps of the winners choice.

If like me you love animals then our "Four legged Friends" challenge theme will be right up your street !!

My four legged friend  from Oak Pond Creations is called " Snack Cat" 

A fun birthday card, but how many times have we said this girls .......

To make my sunray effect backing paper I have used three different kraft papers by Craftwork Cards and inked the edges using a distress ink. Then pleated a strip from one of the papers to put along the bottom. Added a piece of velvet ribbon and then coloured  a very thin strip of white card to match the cat and glued it on top. The cat was coloured in using promarkers and then decoupaged. Stamped the letters to make up my sentiment onto white card then coloured in cream using a promarker and then out lined eack letter with a black pen and cut out. The fab wood embelishments I was lucky enough to win from HobbyCutz , check them out !!

  and I chose the theme

"Add A Charm"

Up for grabs is this fab stamp called

"Tea Party Anyone"

 

 

 

 Now here is that cute mini I was talking about...

 

My little book is only 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" and  is held closed by a belly band. Made the bottle top charm which has Benson "Bundle of Hearts" digi image in. That's what I love about digi stamps you can have then any size !!

Inside I have a lovely friendship poem and have also used another Benson digi called "Just For You". I've printed off the flower over and over again in different sizes.

 

All the images have been fussy cut out and coloured in with good old promarkers, added a bit of lovely pink velvet ribbon and a few beads to finish off !!

The Robyns Fetish Challenge #159 "Pirates & the Sea"

Sponsored this week by KPM Doodles with a prize of 2 sets of the winners choice.

The fun set I have used is called

 "Combo Pirates Digital Clip Art and stamps"

I really did have fun making my card as I love fussy cutting and making a scene !!

Printed the sand dune and palm trees onto a piece of A4 white card and coloured with promarkers. The cut it into 4 pieces and distressed the edges with tearing and a knife. Then on another piece of white card printed all the other images in several sizes and also coloured in with promarkers and then fussy cut each one out.  Arranged them onto my 4 panels to make the scene and glued in place.  Then stuck the 4 panels onto a piece of kraft card which I had also  torn the edges and distressed with a knife. Finished off by stamping the Yo Ho Ho and Happy Birthday Captain along the bottom and then tied it up with a piece of distressed ribbon hopeing it looked like a pirates treasure map !!

Well you won,t be able to buy one of these in the shops, its one of a kind !!

My card today is using "Me and My Cat"

I've had lots of fun using lots of layers with this one. Used Marianne dies to cut fences, tress, ivy and birds. Stamped each letter out to make my sentiment and hand drew round each letter with a black pen. Coloured "Me And My Cat" in with promakers and made a cloud background and hand drew the grass. To finish just added a few die cut clouds and a peg !!

One smashing card for any little man in your life !!

Challenge # 158 "Spring Colours"

Lots of scope here for you !!

Sponsored by

 The Robyns Fetish Store

with 3 digi's of the winners choice
 

There are times when simple is best and this was one for me with my card using "Ms Birdie"

This is a super cute image which I have paper pieced using papers from a you to me pack called "Spring Chic" I fussy cut the bird out and 3d her onto my card front. Then matted and layered four different papers from the same paper pack and did my usual faux stitching round each layer.  The sentiment is two stamps from a Little Claires stamp set.
