#303 Crafty catz - masculine- Candy canes for a Pal

Well did you have a good Black Friday get any bargins? 

I got a Active fryer not that i wanted one but got talked into it by Son.

Well that leads me onto my DT card for Crafty Catz as it is Friday.

This weeks challenge is

MASCULINE

so dig out those stamps and time to make something for the boys.

Our sponsor this week is FRED SHE SAID

Well i went with another Christmas card with a fab digital image from Simple B Stamps called Millers Raindeer Pal

Image has been coloured this time with my promarkers. Lots of glitter but omg talk about being camera shy. Dies are whimsey and marianne.I have embossed the white panel and one of the trees with a cuttlebug folder and then lightly shaded with distressed inks.

DP is from another very old pad. i have refused to buy any this year as i have loads that need using up. It is a shame to leave them sat there. I think everything on this card must be at least 1 year old

Well thats another for my list to be ticked off.

Have you finished your cards yet i still have loads to do and think i will end up buying a few again.

Well if you have still some male cards to do then why not link them up to our challenge we would love to see them. never know you might even win a prize.

(remember our challenges run for 2 weeks but we start a new theme each week)

WINTER BIRTHDAYS

Oh now Winter Birthdays close to Christmas can often get neglected. For my Winter Birthday card I have used Octavia Frosted Winter and Twiggy & Toots CDs and made a winter scene.

 All printed onto Ultimate Graphic paper available in the shop here. As you can see this is for my Dad whooooo (sorry had to be done) has a birthday the week before Christmas.

I have coloured the image with my Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils.

Used a Crafters Companion Embossing folder and cut a oval with a Xcut die

Used some silver Glitter card for some sparkle to mount the sentiment and the backing paper.

Added a Diecut fence and a feern punch for the front. Finished with a nice big double bow with ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

Well I hope my Dad likes and I hope you do too.

Do you have a relative or Friend that has a birthday coming up if so why not come and join us.
