And this is one of their designs called
Determination

our theme this week is
Anything Goes


This is quite a simple design made with men or boys in mind. The image has been coloured with polychromo pencils. The back ground card has had a frame of masking tape put round the edges, then the centre has been done using shades of grey distress oxide ink. The stencil I've used is  from Sweet Poppy Stencils called Brick Wall. Then I've die cut a sentiment to finish.

Hot and tropical


It's my turn to be host for this weeks new challenge at

Our sponsor this week is 

The theme I chose for this week is
Hot Colours


I've picked this lovely flower image and coloured them with polychromo pencils. I've then cut them out and layered them in one corner of the card base.Then the opposite corner I've made a rectangle layer in orange and the white layer has punched corners. The happy birthday sentiment has been die cut out of the same orange card. The leaves have also been die cut.

Sir Hare



Summer has arrived here in the UK as we start the month of June.

So today is the start of the new challenge at

Our theme is always anything goes
but please make a critter the focal point of your card.


This is a stamp from Sweet Poppy Stencils, called Hare, and it's in the sale only £6 reduced from £17.99 and includes the sentiment on the card too. What a bargain. It's a perfect looking hare which I've coloured quite simply with Copic pens. Then, so as not to detract from the image I've put it on die cut layers using a stitched edge rectangle. Then just the sentiment from the stamp set to finish.
