It's not the Destination It's... the Journey. Needed a card for a friend of my Hubby's and this is perfect for this fortnights Twisted Thursday challenge at the Outlawz. I make lots of male cards so have done two variations with this image from Justinkedlined called Born to be Free. Tried to link it but I had no luck. The first card I used watercolour on the bike image then fussy cut it out. Worked out where I wanted the bike and printed the sentiment unto the pattered paper that I then adhered it to a red card base. Taped the bike to the card front and a quick and easy card that didn't take long to complete. The second image is still waiting to be added to a card so will try and do it tomorrow.

No Age Limit Back from my lovely holiday in Bali and finding it hard to get back into the swing of things. The weather is freezing here and I'm missing the lovely sunshine. Swimming one day and the next all rugged up. I have done my card for this month but found it hard to get motivated. This is such a cute image and as usual it was coloured with copics then cut out with a die set that a friend gave me. Used a larger die from the same set and cut set a scrap of coloured card to frame it. Adhered it to a spotted card base and added a computer generated sentiment and I like the result. Now just need to do some more crafting. Copics:  Skin: E00,02,11,134,R02. Clothes: Suit N3,5,7,100, Shirt C00.1.3, Tie B000,01, Cummerbund: R29,32,59. Shoes: C3,5,7,9. Flowers: Y15,YR08,E15, Leaves,YG17,69, Paper G0000,000. Heart Box: R14,27,29, Bow YR14,20,Y15. Shadow: W000,01. Ground: E31,33,35.

Happiest of Birthdays Heading of to Bali in a few days so have been trying to get a few craft projects done. When I saw the criteria for this weeks challenge at C4C483 I had this off-cut of paper sitting on my desk from another card and this is the result. I am a hoarder and have been trying to use the bits and pieces I save. The stamp is from a SU set called Bella and Friends and I coloured it with copics and then fussy cut the two images out. This was then adhered with dimensionals to the strips I had cut and placed on a white card base. The sentiment, from a set called More Essential Sentiments by MFT, was white heat embossed on black card and adhered over the images.  Copics: Dog: E11,15,19.N7. Bird: B24,26,R24,27,89YR07. Balloon: YR07,18,68, White Gel pen & Bow R24.

Birthday Party Pandas Having a break must be good for me as I seem to have lots of ideas for cards drifting through my brain. When I saw the colours for this challenge I knew what I wanted to try and it turned out pretty much like I imagined.  Love these pandas from SU and they are fun to colour with most mediums.    Used copics to colour them and die cut some small clouds from Memory box to give the illusion they were floating. The sentiment was one I cut out ages ago and never used  It was originally joined but was to big so I did some fussy cutting and it fits okay now. Added dimensional magic to the pandas eyes and the balloons then onto a pink card base. Copics: Pandas: C00,N0,1. Hat: RV23,25. Balloons: RV000,11,21.43. Shadow: E0000.
