Daring Card Makers - Watch The Birdie

It's time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme for the week is

Watch The Birdie

I've used this fab digi stamp by Faith at From The Heart Stamps.  I'm not sure if the shop is still active as Faith passed away at the end of July last year.  I've coloured him with Promarkers and added him to the card with foam pads.

I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card with a black fine liner pen.  Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Cardmakers Guest Designer - Up In The Air

Almost my last week as Guest Designer over at the Daring Cardmakers Challenge. And the theme for this week's challenge is:

Up In The Air

I've used a random sheet of printed paper I found in my stash (I have a feeling it is from Funky Hand and probably one of the early cd's) along with a great From The Heart Stamps image and sentiment (I shaped it to look like a cloud) - Super Birdbrain which I've coloured with Promarkers.

The clouds have been cut with a Memory Box die and from scrap card and the cityscape scene is a Clearly Besotted die.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Super Dad!

Such a cute stamp - From The Heart Stamps - Super Birdbrain which I've coloured with Promarkers (plus a little glossy accents on the eyes and belt clasp).

I've used rather shiny blue and silver card from my stash for layering and also the stars, for which I've used X Cut dies.  A little bit of faux stitching and the card is complete!

Super Birthday!

I'm hoping to be a bit more organised this year and to be able to join in with From The Heart Stamps weekly sketch challenge - I really enjoy colouring the images and I always enjoy a good sketch too!  I've used the Super Birdbrain Chick image and coloured with Promarkers plus glossy accents on the eyes.

Papers are offcuts from making a wordbook - Blue Christmas download from Funky Hand - I just don't like to throw anything away!  The sentiment comes with the digi and the embroidery thread is from my stash.  I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the panels, image and sentiment with a black fineliner.
