One for the Boys challenge at Crafty Cardmakers

Afternoon Everyone,
Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers.
Our host this time is Sally and she would like a male themed project.
This could be for a big boy, a little boy or a baby boy, so long as it's male themed.

We are sponsored for this challenge by ONE STOP CARD CRAFTS who are offering a £10 voucher for their store as a prize, and DIGI DOODLE SHOP with a $10 Gift Certificate for the Store. 

My card has been made for one of the 'Boys' at work who is leaving us this week to join his wife in Canada to start a new life.
I hope that he will be following his dreams so the sentiment seemed highly appropriate.

I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday using background papers from my stash.
I added some embossed leaves using a Clarity stamp and Frantage Aged Silver Embossing enamel. I also some Card Candy.

The image has been cut out using a Grand Nestie.

The stamp 'Lazy Afternoon' is from Lili of the Valley and I have coloured it using Aquamarkers and a waterbrush.
I hope that this is how Murali will spend at least some of his time once he reaches his destination.
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team have come up with over at Crafty Cardmakers.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Kimx

Not bad for two Old Dinosaurs :)

Hi
I felt that I had to make this one last quick post for tonight.

It's another Hobby Art card which I felt to be most appropriate since Jenny and I have been conducting an IM conversation whilst I have been working on my laptop. Not bad for two 'old dinosaurs' don't you think!

It was made using the new Scene it Window set and once again is quite different to the samples that the other DT members made. I used the Aqua markers direct onto the stamps but then spritzed them with water before I stamped them out, hence the watercolour effect.
Well I think it is well past this dinosaurs bed time, so I will say goodnight for now.
Love and hugs
Kimx
