Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 27 - The Paper Shelter

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by The Paper Shelter and I've used Casual Boy and coloured him up with Promarkers.  I've used off cuts of papers from Papermania For Him 6x6 stack (I've had the papers in my stash for a long, long time!)  The sentiment is an X Cut die and I've layered it onto some cream card.  Embroidery threads all from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

On Your Retirement - Part 5

And here is the last page of the retirement card using Anglin' Andy from Dr Digi.  Coloured up with Promarkers plus really ancient Papermania For Him Colossal 6x6 stack.  Sentiment stamped with Calico Studio alphabet stamps and over the top I've added glossy accents.

On Your Retirement - Part 1

One of our Directors at work eventually retired (this was the third time of trying!) and I made a card for the whole office and other colleagues to sign!

This is the front page and uses Mastermind from Dr Digi; coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment is a Calico Studio alphabet stamp which I've then added glossy accents over the top.

Papers are in keeping with the organisation colour theme and are from Papermania - For Him Colossal 6x6 paper stack (I've had these in my stash for years!)

Retirement - Part 3

Here is the third page in the retirement card I made for a work colleague.  His last day was Friday and although I wasn't in work that day I've been told by quite a few people that he loved the card and I also got a lovely email to say the same.

This page features Crouching Tiger Hidden Dunderton from Dr Digi and I've coloured him with Promarkers plus a computer generated sentiment and papers from a Papermania 6x6 stack - For Him.

It was easier to take the photos of each individual page rather than when they were joined together with metal rings!

I needed a card for one of my son's and this is the perfect image from Bugaboo!  Video Game Guy has been coloured with Promarkers after deciding which papers I was going to use - the background is watercolour pencils.  Papers are by Papermania - For Him 6x6 stack and I've used X cut star and arrow die cuts from bits of card found in my stash

I handwrote the sentiment.  I'd like to enter the following:

Cute Football

I know I say it every year, but this year I am really going to try and use up some of the stash I already have! I had a tidy up and clear out just before Christmas and found loads of stuff that I'd forgotten I had or had never used so it got sold on ebay!

However, the cute Lily of the Valley toppers were never not going to be used, so I've had a look through them and decided that this one would be good to get going with!

I've used a kraft card blank and then papers from Papermania - For Him 6x6 stack (again found in my stash along with a full unopened pack.....!)  I've distressed the edges with scissors and used a die for the circles, using random off-cuts of card from my stash and a kraft tag (again found in the clear out!)
