WCMD On Trend ...

.... Morning all!  I do hope you all had as much fun as I did yesterday.  I was able to spend all day in my craft room playing.  I posted one card yesterday and today I've another to share.  Lea, at Winnie & Walter - On Trend,  has challenged us to make a card using the very on trend camera theme.  I just had to give this a go!!

Stamps: Winnie & Walter - Bubble Talk; Stampin' Up! - Snapshot, Filmstrip, Just Sayin', What's Up?
Inks: SU - Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo; Memento - Tuxedo Black, Morocco; Versafine - Onyx Black
Dies: SU/Sizzix - Word Bubbles Framelits
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kaisercraft DP - Happy Snaps; SU Punch - What's Up?; Copic Markers

I used the layout from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch! - CTS#95 and made the card landscape instead of portrait.  The colours are from Colour Q - cQc#261.  I used my stampamajig to get the film strip border stamped (mostly) straight.  I found some words associated with photography, positioned them above the strip and stamped in them in blue.  I stamped the camera onto scrap card, coloured it with Copic markers and cut it out.  I adhered to the card with dimensional tape.  The word bubble was made by stamping one of the word bubbles from Just Sayin', then stamping the words from W&W Bubble talk and cutting with the matching die.  It is adhered with dimensional tape.  On the inside I cut a mat layer in brown design paper and on the white panel added a sentiment from the paper pack. 

I'm doing more crafty stuff today - only this time it's photography.  We're all off to a photo shoot with a couple of models - Andrea and Jasmine - they're both great fun and gorgeous too!  See you soon.

TMR - Metal ....

...  Good morning everyone!!  It's time for our new challenge at The Male Room - we'd like you to use METAL on your project.  Here's what I made:

Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Half Pint Heroes, Free Spirit Sentiments; Winnie & Walter - Bubble Talk
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Stampin' Up! - Blackberry Bliss
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Always Artichoke; Self Adhesive Metal Sheet; Cuttlebug EF - Diamond Plate; Copic Markers; SU Marker; Adirondack Alcohol Inks - Ginger, Butterscotch, Cranberry, Lime

I used a couple of challenges to make this card.  I used the sketch from the current Fusion challenge - FUSION#18 and the colours are from this week's Paper Players - PP#213.  I turned the sketch to make a landscape style card, I also used the idea of a car, but made it masculine.  I made the central panel from a self-adhesive metal sheet.  I embossed the metal and then added colour with alcohol inks (matching them as closely as possible to the Paper Players challenge colours).  I layered the panel onto a piece of green card.  I stamped the little car on white card and coloured it with Copic and Stampin' Up! markers.  I made the sentiment banner from white card, stamped the sentiment and attached it to the card with dimensional tape.  I glued the car directly to the sentiment panel.  On the inside I cut a mat layer of green card and on the white panel stamped a simple sentiment and another car.  I've also included a detail shot of the metal panel where you can really see the colours!

For more inspiration using metal on your masculine projects - check out The Male Room blog and see what my team mates have made!  Before I go, I'd like to thank everyone for the fabulous submission for our last challenge - so many wonderful projects!!  That's all for now!
