PBSC week 139

Was supposed to be scrapping today but snow stopped play so I thought I'd have a go at this weeks Penny Black Saturday challenge.

The theme this week is cards for men so I rummaged through the Penny Black drawer and picked out my 'going ape' stamp and coloured it with Promarkers to match the manly papers which I had picked out. Punched out a branch from a Stampin Up punch and added Sizzix buttons and a Craftwork Cards message. Base card is also craftwork cards.

Thank you for looking

Down under

This card will soon be wending its way down under for one of the great nephews birthdays.

This Lili of the Vally image had been stamped but not coloured a while ago (think I must be in use up mode, don't think it will harm me any), so I coloured it with pencils to tone in with the card I had already stamped with memento bahama blue ink, a bit less randomly than the previous one.

It was matted onto turquoise card and I put the 3 little squares of card in the top left corner just to balance it up.

Base card and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards, turquoise card has been around too long a time to remember where it came from, paper string came from a local art shop I think.

Thank you for looking

Quick and easy

I had stamped and coloured this Stampin Up image last year sometime and the card base was stamped with another Stampin up set the other day using Memento Bahama Blue ink.

I matted the image and sentiment onto green and turquoisw card and cut some strips of the same colours which I stuck on for a bit more interest.

Base card and sentiment from Craftwork Cards, coloured card from my collection.
