BYSH Cardmakers day 7

 


I am back again with my final entry for the BYSHC blog hop
I cut the pieces for the truck on my Cameo and glued them together, except for the first layer, which has mounting tape in between. I had such a frustrating time trying to get my Cameo to cut, and ended up having to put in a new blade, which solved the problem.
I glued a rectangle of DP to my red card base and then attached the truck. 
The Merry Christmas is a sticker.
I will send this one to my 2 grandsons in Sydney, I don't think they will be coming for a holiday again this year because of Covid restrictions. 
Thank goodness for Skype!

Timeless Beauty

 


Back for my second post today

This gorgeous image is for this month's challenge at Fripperies and Butterflies, Gecko Gals Steampunk Challenge
After printing, I chose a dark green base card as it tones so well with the beautiful mask
I adhered a piece of old lace down the side and coloured it with gold paint, and also adding some paint to the top right for interest The clock embellishment also matches the one on the mask

BYSH Cardmakers day 6

 


I spotted this design on one of the blogs that I follow, so this is my version
I stamped onto kraft card and again on a scrap of DP using my Penny Black stamp (dated 2005)
I added a strip of washi across the bottom and then drew a white line either side
I drew the star freehand and outlined it with a black pen, then smudged it a bit
I also drew the black and white lines that the tree is grounded on
Message stamped in Brilliance grahite black

Challenges
Penny Black Saturday - a/g (I did not use the colour option)

BYSH Cardmakers Day5

 


My second post for today.
I am still making Christmas cards for the BYSHC blog hop, so that is filling my box nicely. 
It is such a great incentive!
Today's card was made with a background of distress inks applied direct to the textured card with a wet wipe. My snowman is a precut one and I coloured the patterned piece from the back so it would show better. I then added a couple of peeloffs from the 'mountain'

Challenges
Jingle Bells - I hope snowmen are creatures!

Cat Lovers hop day 2

 


Hello and welcome

It is day 2 of the wonderful cat lovers hop and this is my entry

I printed the digi stamp and coloured with copics, then fussy cut and adhered to a stitched circle

The message was from a dp pad, I thought it went so well with the cat!
