Monochrome madness for boyz

 Morning all.  We have a fresh new challenge for you this morning over at Cardz4guyz.  We did monochrome for the galz a few weeks ago and now it's time to do the same for the guyz.  I have to say, monochrome is so much easier for guy card.  I chose blue for a colour scheme and cars for a theme.  Simples!

Mum needed a card for a friend who's a driving instructer and this fit the bill perfectly.  I'm not sure how he'll feel about being called an old wreck but mum liked it.  The stamps are an old set by Kanban. I've had them for years but never really got much use out of them.  I may do some more like this.  It was very quick and simple to do.

Please pop over and join in the fun.

Thanks for reading.

She shoots, She 'scores'!

Morning all.  We have a nice new challenge over at Cardz4galz this morning.  The lovely Debbie has chosen the theme of 'more that one score/fold'.  It was so nice to do something like this as I am not one to venture far from the simple square or rectangle. To be fair, I've still not wandered far from the simple square.  However, I have added a small step in front of it. This type of card is so easy to do and I do them when I want a little added impact.  You just need two square card blanks in the same size.  To one of the blanks you need to fold the front in half and score.  You then stick the back of the card blank to the front of the other card - making sure you have the step in the right place of course.  You wouldn't be the first to stick the panel on the wrong way round - or even find the original blank is upside down or back to front.  In my time I've made every mistake going.  Anyway, once your card blanks are made up you can then decorate it anyway you like.  I'm using up my scraps and old stash at the moment so you have some Art Deco backing paper and a very ancient topper from, I think, Kanban.

This is a really fun challenge to take you out of the normal shapes and sizes so please join in the fun.  I'm off to make another.  I still have one old topper left.

Thanks for reading.
