Little Boy Blue

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well. I cannot believe how quick that fortnight went, we have a new challenge at Here Come The Boys already !! Well done to our winner on the Sketch Challenge Nat #7. Your card was fantastic, well done also to our Top 4. We had some great entries on the Sketch Challenge.

Onto this fortnight's challenge, this time we would like you to make something which fits a Little Boy Blue theme, it MUST be for a boy/male and we are looking for a monochromatic theme. You can use skin and hair tones, but the rest of the card must be blue.

This is what I came up with

I have used Edwin With Airplane stamp from the Prince & Princesses collection from Magnolia. I have coloured him with my Polychromo pencils again. I am really getting the hang of using these now.

The backing papers I have used are from a Dovecraft Back to Basics pack.

The greeting has been stamped in Memento and is from Lili Of The Valley.

Here I have wrapped some blue and white twine around one of my layers.
I hope the Dt have inspired you and we cannot wait to see your creations. Have a great weekend, I am off to play in my craft room now.
Luv & hugs

A sign of promise

I have woken today to a beautiful sunny day, I always think the day is more positive with a bit of nice weather. As I drive around doing my job I notice the things that shows everything is changing. I love this time of year, it is a sign of promise, daffodils and new lambs everywhere I go.

Anyway that's enough from me. Congratulations to our winner Linda, and our top 3 in the last challenge at Here Come The Boys. Yet again there were some fantastic entries. Well done to everyone that entered. Our challenge this time is a Sketch challenge.

I absolutely loved doing this sketch, it was brilliant to work with. I decided to turn the sketch around. Here is what I came up with.

I used some papers that I found in my scraps drawer which I believe where from the Docrafts Wellington range, that's the great thing about sketch challenges, using up all the bits we crafter's save " just in case ". The stamp was free with a magazine. This has been edged with distress ink Vintage Photo. 

I stamped the greeting on a scrap of white card.

The blue clock background was made with a piece of blue paper and stamped with a clock stamp in a darker blue to create my own paper.

All the layers were mounted onto Kraft card to bring it all together.

 I hope you find some inspiration from my interpretation of the sketch and from the other DT cards, we always love to see your creations. Good luck and see you next time.

Hugs
