A Card for Crafters Companion "Masculine" Challenge

Good Evening Crafters, well Ive created yet another male card this week, and this one is for the Crafters Companion "Masculine" Challenge, this is Humphrey and I have stamped him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used a rectangle Nestabilitie Die to cut him out and a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is one that came with the image and Ive done the same with this as I did with the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, the papers I have used are from Crafters Companion "Humphrey" Cds and the first is a sentiment one then on top I have used two others the first was cut in a strip and I have used a EK Success border punch on it, and the third is a spot one and this was placed on another piece of the blue card.
The mounted image was then placed towards the right, and the sentiment below on the right hand side. To finish of I have  used the flag empathy punch and some of the left over paper to create the embellishments that were placed at the top on the right hand side.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

And we were lucky to have been given several images to play with and I chose this one.

Isnt he a character I love the look on his face, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him and then cut him out with my Nestabilitie Rectangle die and then cut a larger one for the mount out of red card. The sentiment was one I created on my computer and printed it out and mounted it in the same way as the image.

The card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, and the three papers Ive used are from the Nitwit Downloads "Super Stewy" paper set, the papers where cut across the middle and Ive used a piece and then one of my border punches and tucked it behind the check paper. Its a simple design and I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment underneath.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pop across to the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented team have created for your inspiration and I do hope that you will also take part in this "Cheeky Chappie" Challenge.

This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

You really should visit The Paper Shelter Webshop site and see for yourself what gorgeous images they have and also their papers and accessories you will be blown away by them they are stunning.

Anyway heres my card for this Challenge.

For my card I have used this sweet image titled "Love Cats" isnt she a cute and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then used my copic and tria pens to colour her afterwards I cut her out using Nestabilitie Labels Die No.10 and used the die again to draw around for the mount, the sentiment is one from my stash and I have used the smaller size die to cut it out with and again used it for the mount.

The base card is again a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of beige pearlescent card and for this card I have used The Paper Shelters "Pepe L'Soures in Love" digi paper set you will find them here, this first paper is a beige background with pink and beige flowers on, and I have then used two strips of different papers in beige and pink from the same set to create layers down the centre, and on these two I have used the EK Success Puppy Paw border punch along both of the sides. Around the middle I have wrapped a lace ribbon with a Hello Kitty grosgrain ribbon on top these were all attached to the back of the first mount. I then positioned my mounted image in the centre with the sentiment at the bottom on the right.

To finish of I created a spray of three flowers with the die-namics rolled flower die with some of the left over papers, and these were arranged in the top left hand corner and stuck down with silicone glue on top of some punched out rose leaves.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will visit The Paper Shelter Blogspot and see what the rest of my very talented "A" Team have created for you, and hopefully it will inspire you to take part in this "We Love Animals" Challenge.
