Calling All Brads at Fab n Funky

Well it's Wednesday which means it's time for another challenge over at Fab n Funky. Firstly thank you to everyone who entered the last challenge and if you check out the blog the winners are posted there. Our current challenge is all about using brads in your design, large ones, small ones, plain or patterned it is up to you just show us your brads. Our fabulous sponsor this week is the super talented Kenny K - who is providing the prize check the challenge blog for details. We have as always had some super images from the sponsor to work with and in an attempt to get organised I have chosen to use my DT card as a chance to make Hubbies Valentine card.

I used Kenny K's Sexy Cupid which you can buy here 

I coloured her using a mix of mediums

Hair - Spectrum Noir - CT2, GB1, GB3 GB7

Skin - Promarkers Ivory, Satin, Vanilla and Blush

Dress - Promarkers - Poppy, Ruby and Maroon.

Wings and boots - papermania Metallic pencil in gold, overlaid with Sakura Sparkle pen

Tips of the Arrows and Earring - Sakura Glaze Christmas red 

Bow - Promarker - Cocoa and Poppy

The black highlights were added using a fine tip marker 

Once coloured I fussy cut round the image leaving a thin white border. I then mounted her onto a white heart cut using Marianne nesting dies and then mounted this onto a gold heart cut using the largest of the dies to get the lovely scalloped edge.

I used a plain white card blank and cut the front using a sizzix lattice die. I added the four brads to the corners and then lined the inside of the card with red paper, before sticking the image on top.

The sentiment was computer generated and mounted on the red paper (and is a bit of a standing joke as My hubby thinks it's incredibly funny to come up behind me grab me round the waist and shout Gotcha!) 

Inside the card I have die cut a white heart and mounted it on a red scalloped heart to write my message.

It's all Rock and Roll at Fab n Funky

Hi there, firstly thanks to all those who entered our last challenge at Fab n Funky you can check our the winners over on the blog now.

This week we have the fabulous Kenny K Downloads sponsoring our challenge this week which means the DT had some fabulous digis to play with. 

 Our theme is 

Its all Rock'n'Roll to me!

This means that you can either use a music inspired theme or image for your card

or as an added twist 

You can use a rock'n'roll song as inspiration 

- in which case tell us what the song is in your post

So come on - have some fun with this one - we can't wait to see your rock'n'roll cards

The prize is a fabulous 5 digis of your choice from Kenny K downloads - so what are you waiting for!

I chose to use Vicky Lee Vicious for my card. 

She is definitely sassy and a little bit punk so when I found these papers on a My Craft Studio Essentials papers CD I just knew they would be perfect for this girl with attitude. I took the colours for Vicky from the papers and coloured her with a mixture of Spectrum Noir markers and added highlights using gel glitter pens. 

Skin Tones - FS1 FS2, FS3, TN1, TN2

Hair LV2, LV3, and purple gel glitter pen highlights 

Outfit - BG1, BG2, BG3, LV2

Boots - Silver gel pen 

Guitar Gold Glitter Gel Pen 

I die cut the letters from white card and coloured them with gold glitter gel pen before sticking them to black card and did the same with the die cut guitar I used as a stopper 

Seven Down Seventeen to go - Funky Girls

At Through The Purple Haze this week the theme is funky girls and boys here is my design

The image is from Kenny K and I coloured her using spectrum Noirs, I added highlights to her hair shoes jeans and t shirt using glitter gel pens. The backing papers and the flowers are from Hot off the press as is the little tag. I aged the image slightly using brown ink and went round the edges of the flowers using a glitter gel pen. The paper clip is from a box I picked up at my local supermarket. I finished off with cosmic shimmer black pearl pva to make the flower centres and the  pearls.

I am entering this card into the following challenges
