Right onto my card for the challenge

I couldn't resist this stamp from Sweet Stamps.  This grumpy old man is called "Lyle", he is such a dream to colour up! (links at the the end of the post)

I have used one of the new release dies from Cheery Lynn. Its a border die called Burlap and as always lots of gorgeousness.  The rolled flowers are from Marianne Designs and the leaves are another from Cheery Lynn

Here's a close up of grumpy old Lyle..

and one of the flowers, which I have made out of core'dinations cardstock..

Two Birds in a Pod

Hi all, back again with my DT post for Anything Goes Challenge blog.  This fortnight our theme is.. 

"Make it Manly" so we would love to see your those projects for the men in your life.. 

I had a lady ask me for a card that was blue and white, it had to have two birds on it so this is what I came up with. 

I used an older style embossing folder I believe this one is called "Script". I have then gone over the raised words with Stormy Skies Distressing ink. 

Copic Colours I used 

W7, 5, 3, 1

T7, 5, 3, 1

B95, 93, 91

Inside view I die cut the bird and centred it in the middle of the Tim Holtz clock and for added depth a little more of the embossed script.. 

Craft supplies
