My Time To Craft 'Outdoor Sports' Challenge

Good morning all.

This week at My Time To Craft we are challenged to 'Outdoor Sports' so football, rugby, fishing, golf etc etc.  When I first thought of this challenge the only image that came to mind is the one I used on my first card of a young lad and his fishing rod, after making the card I remembered the second card I made for my step grandson's birthday so thought I would post them both.

 For the first card, I didn't like the fact that there was only a fishing rod and felt it needed something else. I found a couple of fish and cut them out on my silhouette cameo, then I very nicely asked my husband if he had a bit of fishing line with a hook attached that I could 'borrow'. He got me out the line first about a metre of it and then asked what sized hook I wanted, his face was a picture when I showed him my two fish that I wanted caught lol. I do think they finish the card off nicely although it will have to go with an accident advisory attached looking at the hook!



Supplies:-
6" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Bazzill
Designer Paper - My Minds Eye Miss Caroline 'Dolled Up'
Image - Sweetpea Stamps 'Bobby's Day Out'
Sentiment - Crafter's Companion Mulberry Wood 'Fishing'
Medium - Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Die Cuts - Fishing Charms #12719 by Snapdragon Snippets

Finally here is my other card which is definitely more sport's like. Samuel is a huge football fan and Tottenham Hotspur supporter so I had to make it in the relevant colours. I made this so that the shirt had a triangle back to it, ensuring it would stand up yet leave enough room for me to write a message on. The card is 7" x 5".

Card Stock - Lidl

One Shoe, One Card!

Good evening all, not very often I find myself with an evening post but wanted to get this done before I start on my dt work tomorrow. 

Having had a very busy few weeks I was determined not to do anything over the weekend and have time to just play with my craft stuff. I made two different items and neither of them for anything in particular other than my pleasure lol.

The first was this shoe that I made, some of you may of seen it on Facebook already. It was a free file from SVG Cuts that they gave away and if you made something with it and uploaded it to their page then you get a gift card worth $6.99 which is enough to buy another set of files. I really want the gorgeous bag's set they released a couple of months ago so thought why not make it, enjoy it and get what I want for free! 

The base of the shoe is quite fiddly to make but once that part is done the rest went together really quickly and all the embellishments were from my stash apart from the 3d rose on the front which was a Lori Whitlock file. 

I am really pleased with how this turned out and think it would make a lovely gift for someone, it is even big enough to put something inside of it. It measures 12cm tall, 18.5cm long & 4cm wide.

Here is the shoe from the side

 Here it is slightly turned so that you can see the front and inside detail better.
Supplies:-
Card Stock - Bazzill
Designer Paper - Craft Creations
Black Bling Chain - Poundland
Feather, Brad, Ribbon & Red Bling - Stash

Ok onto my second item which is a card I have made for the Elphine House Challenge. Most of my followers will know how much I love all of Elisabeth Bell's images but quite often when I saw challenge's I couldn't enter as I didn't have a suitable image for the challenge (in my mind). Well, over the last month I have received 18 new stamps as well as the new Simpler Times cd which is packed with images, papers and other goodies. So no excuses now, BUT when I saw this fortnights challenge I nearly chickened out lol. It is my worst nightmare 'Distressing'. 

I set to work with my new distressing tool I brought at the Doncaster show and that was still in the packaging along with my distress inks and panpastels. I used this lovely image called Bobby's Day from Sweetpea Stamps because in my mind distressing only works on male images lol. I coloured it with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, then masked it while I added some sky, mountains and greenery. I then distressed all layers before inking with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The end result I LOVED IT. 

Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Bazzill
Sentiment - Dandelion Goes Fishing Set
PanPastels - Turquoise, Turquoise Tint, Green Shade & Bright Yellow Green Shade from Natalie & Amy's
