Cardz 4 Guyz  #375

Theme: Checks or Plaids

I dug through scraps and found this cool plaid.. funny when I look through my paper pads I always find plaids but when I NEED to make a card with plaids  ---- can I find one NO.. I dug through my scraps. 

I used the Stampin Up punch for the bird and leaves.. I used another SU die for the other leaf. I layered the punch pieces just to make them a little more sturdy. I added to the plaid. I added a diamond drill for the eye and a few blue ones to the card. I stamped the sentiment.

Hello 

It's time for a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme: E - embossing / wet or dry

I was digging though some die images I had already done a long time ago.. I saw these flowers and thought I better use them while I know they are there now.. lol.  I took a piece of scrap and a small Stampin up folder and ran it through. I then added the flowers together and laid them out I needed a vertical sentiment so found this one. I stamped but it looked a little off (it's a red rubber stamp) so I stamped on a piece of card stock and used Tech. Tues. banner die.

Cardz 4 Guyz #374 

Theme: Seashells

 

I found this cute seahorse paper in my K&company pad so used it for the sea feel of my card. I stamped the shell and used copics to color it. and I fussy cut it out.. thank goodness it was simple. I'm spoiled by dies.. I thought it needed some sand so I used a Rubber baby buggy bumper old stamp and created the sand look and just cut out a mound. I put the shell down and though it needed more so I looked at my greenery stamps and found these Stampin up dies so I found some scraps and added them and the shell looks better with them in the background. I stamped the sentiment.
