Oh my I have been asked to join Janets "Pink Gems" Design Team

I had a big surprise a couple of weeks ago as I had a wonderful email from Janet of Pink Gem Designs asking me if I would like to join one of her Design Teams and of course I was thrilled to say yes, and tomorrow I will be bringing you my first Challenge Card and I thought for a tease I will bring you a card I created for the Gems of Inspiration Blogspot and I thought it was ideal for one of my many grandsons and little friends that I have.

This image is "Skateboard Andy" and you will find him here, I have printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used Tonic Circle dies and scalloped edge one for the mount out of blue card. The sentiment is from Die-namics and is the die as well.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers are again another of the Pink Gem Digi Designs its called "Slugs and Snails" and you will them here. Please do go and pay a visit to Janets website here and see for yourself what beautiful papers and gorgeous images she has for your inspiration to go wild with. I have used three papers from this set and the first is a blue background with more of Skateboard Andy on it and the second is a beige one which I have used a Martha Stewart Border punch on it, and the third mount is a green one.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and tucked the sentiment behind the mount at the top on the right, and to finish of I used the flag Empathy punch to make three buttons down in the left hand corner at the bottom.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

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:-
