Boys will be Boys

Time for a new challenge over at

DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGE BLOG

#180 For a Boy or a Man

and our sponsor this time round is

CUTE AS A BUTTON

 and this fabulous image "High Stakes" was just

perfect for Hubby's Birthday card this week :D

 I gathered some neutral coloured papers...

 and made my base card ready to take the 

image when coloured, knowing I can match

any papers using my trusty ProMarkers.

Hubby wears a cap all the time, so while colouring

I accidentally started colouring his head as a hat lol.

And this is the beauty of using digi stamps...

 I simply cut out and coloured a new head to glue

over the top :D (I always print more than one of each

image I'm using just in case)

 The phrase I typed out and printed using Craft Artist,

and added a little sparkle with Stickles.

Lets face it, choosing your "life partner" 

is a risky business, but I took a gamble.

No one thought we would last a month...

but 36 years later we are still happy we

took that risk :D

This fortnight's challenge from

DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGE is

#176 Dry Embossing :D

and our sponsor is the amazing

CUTE AS A BUTTON

*using Button Love*

I wanted to make a floral embossed background 

for this image, but didn't want it to be just one colour.

I chose a striped paper and put that through the folder

and love the extra dimension it creates.

Next I matched up my Promarkers to the colours

in the papers...

and ,as well as the image, I coloured some tiny

buttons...

to use as flower centres :D

I added glossy accents to the buttons on the

image for even more detail.

Another Niece...another birthday lol
