Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I made for Dude Time Doodles' sketch challenge.  The challenge is being sponsored by Technique Junkies.  This is the sketch I had to use.

 On the outside is the greeting "You're Forever Young".  On the inside is says "In Your Dreams!"  I thought Little Boy Blue from Graphics Fairy was the perfect image for this.   The card was created in shades of blue.  The large mat uses the TJ technique Double Bugging.  I highlighted the embossing with white ink.  The fancy trim on the right was made with a punch.

Winner of Challenge #14

The winner of Challenge #14 "Be a Sport" sponsored by Dude Time Doodles was Sharon Rogers.   She has been notified and her entry is posted in the winner's box on my sidebar.  Keep in mind that even though I may not list the winner in an actual post, I always place the entry on the sidebar and notify the winner after each challenge is closed..

Challenge #14 - Be a Sport

Are you tired of basketball? I hope not as the challenge this week is "Be a Sport" Don't limit your creations to basketball now as there are other sports. Soon baseball will take front stage on my TV. What sport will you take part in or watch...maybe it is racing. I can't wait to see what you make.

My card is on the whymsical side again.  I believe this golfer has hit his ball into the rough again.  My image is from Dude Time Doodles, my sponsor for this challenge.  I used it on a zig-zag accordian card which is an expanding easel card.    This card can be found on the "Fancy Folds and Motion Paper Crafts" CD by Technique Junkies.

I tried to made the foreground like the rough that the golf hit his ball into.  Of course, I needed a golf ball.  That was easy to do.  I just punched a circle, ran it through an embossing folder and then highlighted it by the paper direct method.  What rough doesn have high grass.  That was done with a borrowed punch.  Coloring was done with Copic markers.  The greeting was from Dude Time Doodles also.  I wonder how many men are on the golf course today and how many have this problem?.  I hope this card puts a smile on your face today. 

Petra - Bicycle Artistry

My first DT piece for an exciting challenge: Be a Sport. After finding the amazing and intriguing image from Vintage Bicycle the sport of cycling had to be the choice. The card base is a white square card which is layered with Pink Petticoat Kraftcard and patternd paper from 3Bugs in a Rug. Before adding the image I stamped 'creative' words from Stampers Anonymous onto the paper. The sentiment is printed, the wonderful vintage bicycle image is from Hero Arts whereby I couldn't resist to 'improve' the bicycle hubs with snap fasteners. Enjoy the ride and the excitement of the artistic adventure! Petra.

More "Be a Sport"

DT member Michele here with a bit more inspiration for you in the last few days of the "Be a Sport" challenge.  I obtained this cool digi from our wonderful sponsor Dude Time Doodles.  It is called "ride like the wind" and it reminds me of some of the great motorcycle trips I've had with my DH.  I've never used a digi before so I just printed it on some brown paper bag paper, cut it out and put it on a background on which I'd used the Technique Junkies chalk line technique.  The lines created by the technique made me think of the open road.  I used my Route 66 stamp from Inkadinkado and also a Harley Davidson sticker and some star stickers.  I hope you enjoy it.
