#365- CRAFT - Father's Day / Male

Good morning well Thursday comes around again and that can only mean your here to see what CRAFT challenge is doing.

Well this week we have the theme

FATHER'S DAY/ MALES

I do believe here in the UK it is the 16th June

We have 2 sponsors for this challenge that kindly gave prizes and images to work with and they are

Digital Delights 

and  our sponsor of the month

Oddball Art

for my card I have used a image from Digital Delights called  Pizza Chef

I have gone with a Black and white theme for this

Image has been coloured with my promarkers

Papers are papermania and Dovecraft

Some faux stitching

Dies are Lawn fawn stitched boarder and spellbinders the Dad has been cut with a Creative Expression males relatives die

I simple layout with no embellishments as I think this image doesnt need any.

Well hope you like and it is over to you.

Now for Something Different

Good morning I dont normally post on a Monday but had this little project i have been wanting to share for a while. 

I made this with Polkadoodles Sticks and Bones Download using there coloured image.

I bought a clock chip board base and working from a local shop back around Christmas and just knew what I wanted to do with it.

Printed the image onto one of the backing papers from the collection making it flat so the hands would catch. Glued it to the base.

I then cut strips of Hessian and wrapped around the chip board ring. I used lots of glue and pressed down so it would stick the fibers as they where very raw. Made a bow with another strip and tied with some brown ribbon attaching to the from. I the assembled the clock checking that the ring didnt catch. Then glued the Top ring onto the base.

Very simple but wanted it to look rustic to go with the images.

Well if you have time no pun sorry leave me a comment and let me know if you think it needed anything else. This has since gone off to Nikky at Polkadoodles so hope it didnt.

Have a great day and take care
