Big Guy Golfing Card

This happens to be a difficult card for me to make since losing my own Dad but I love this image by Mo Manning at Mo’s Digital Pencil it's called Big Guy Golfing and it is perfect for a few occasions, Fathers Day, a retirement of a general men's cards. I coloured the image with Copic Markers and teamed it with Stampin Up designer papers and used thickers for the lettering.

Tomorrow I’m going to share some information on how I get the best picture and true colours for my card.

Siren of Pearls is by Make it Crafty and coloured with copic markers I used open laced cotton lots of pearls, some ribbon and buttons and a big dollop of love to bring the card together.

Swashbuckerling Beauty

This swashbuckling beauty is Alvida the Pirate from Make it Crafty and I fell in love with her lavish attire and treasure trunk. She's a real beauty yes?

Coloured up with Copic Markers and teamed with a rich satin material paper that I've had since my scrapbooking days. I wrapped this one up in a gorgeous golden yellow satin ribbon and added a gold buckle.

LetraTac by Letraset

I wanted to share a little piece on LetraTac, I find this amazing for those hard to glue pieces that you need to add to your projects, it is a couple of sheets with a layer of glue between and it comed with a handy tool to make sure you get maximum stick.

You open up the sheet and pop your pieces inside .

Close the backing paper back over the top of your pieces and give it a wipe with the special tool then you are ready to stick your pieces to your project.

As you can see in the next picture they stick beautifully.

It is repositionable until you burnish it with the tool.
