Simon Says tape it and distress it

Today I had inspiration to make a card for 

the Monday and Wednesday Challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp blog. and it turned

out all could be in one card. It took me all day to make,

for i lost my beer stamp and it was a scavenger hunt

to find my beer stamp ( looking for it i also cleaned

my table, but finally found it clinging to my

Michael Strong coffee stamp! :-) )

For the Monday Challenge it was:

Tape it Up!

I just love these miniblueprint stamps CMS 336

by Tim Holtz with the beer and wine stamps.

 Now I  make lots of men birthday cards with it.

The celebrate is a die and the wordt is one of the 

sentiment stickers by Tim Holtz.

The musical washi tape is perfect for birthday cards.

The background of this card is made with vintage

distress oxide ink. First I colored the card

with a blending tool and with the same color

I stamped the images. The bottles are stamped

in black and colored a little with karisma pencils.

The Wednesday Challenge is:

Distress it.

Thank you for looking

and have acreative day!

TJ Gesso and Goosebumps for men

Today I combined two techniques from the new

Technique Junkies

Artist Effects CD

the gesso resist and goosed stains techniques.

When I made the background it immediately made

me think of clouds and the sea,so I was thinking

this one is great for amen's card.

So I got out the Stampin'Up! set  The Open Sea,

which is a wonderful stampset for men's cards.

Paper and inside sentiment are by Club Scrap.

Thank you for looking.

Have a creative day!

I amnot finished playing with all the techniques and here is

~Goosed Stains~ technique

I stamped the sentiment in black and added

the white lines in the middle with a white

signo pen. On the dungarees you see some buttons,

those are sticky tiny gemstones.

Cowboys

Over at Gingersnap Creations is a challenge

for making cards with  a "cowboy" theme

and Technique Junkies are sponsering

so here are some of my creations, using

the Faux leather technique.

This technique can be found on the

"Emboss or Die" special CD.

For this card I found a picture on the

internet and the tag and all the other papers

are by Club Scrap.

The inside text i made with the computer.

I found this free font on www.dafont.com

an is called cottonwood.

The cowboy theme is great for male cards. This is one

with a rodeo poster I got of the internet.

Printed out the sentiments and some stars

as an extra touch.

Hope you are inspired to add your card to the challenge and

win some TJ goodies.

Have a creative day!
