One Man and His Truck

 Hello Nomad friends.  The new challenge at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is For the Men.  Did I hear you groan???!!!!  Where's your spirit of adventure??  Your get up and go??  I know, it got up and went bwahahahahaaa.  But do not despair!   The team and I are going to inspire your socks off and masculine will be our new favourite topic, at least for this month LOL.

 

I started by digging out some game stamps, Carmen's Veranda Dice Background  and Lost Coast Designs Domino Border.  I stamped the dice background with midnight blue archival on pale blue card.  Then I stamped the domino border a few times on white card, fussy cut and added it as a frame around my background.  I stamped and Carmen's Veranda Old Truck with black archival ink on some UHK mottled blue patterned card and fussy cut.  Then I cut out the windows with a craft knife and backed them with a piece of the same UHK card.  WHY???!!   Why did I do that??  Answers on a postcard to me..........   Of course, it looks so much better because I did use a piece of the patterned card that was 2 tones lighter bwahaahhaaaaaaaa.  

 

 

Anyway, hop over and check out all the wonderful man makes.  The team has so many amazing ideas, and we even give a real red rubber prize when we get more than 20 entries in the linky.   New ideas will be added all month so grab you coffee and box of after eights and join us.

 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Howdy Friend

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  Make a card, send a card, get a card.  Everyone gets a card, everyone is a winner!!  The participants of the Card Chain Challenge have now exchanged OVER 5000 CARDS!!  How amazing is that??

 This month there were 26 participants and my card winged it's way to Brenda in the UK.  Brenda is a longtime online friend, and I know she loves dogs, so I used this cute Pokey Dog stamp by Lost Coast Designs.  Pets was one of the options for July. 

I used a Marianne Design die for the stitch detail round the aperture and the panel is a piece of filter paper splashed with Brusho powder and water.  I stamped Pokey Dog on the card to get the extra details I didn't want to cut out.  Then I stamped him on some slightly brown card, added some distress marker colour and fussy cut.  The gold letters are stickers.

If you would like to see all the amazing card that winged their way around the planet for March check out the REVEAL POST.
