A Little bit Red

Well this was a challenge and a half to create something all red,  also something for a Man which Im not that great at doing,  I always get stuck for embelishments for blokes its so hard to make them look half decent.

anyway I used some Dark red papers, a Kenny K image called Cool Dude, a Mariannes Ribbon border die and some Stars I cut with my Cricut. I added some Faux Stitching on the image and one star.

Image : Kenny K
Mediums : Copics
Papers : Papermania I think,  It was a rummage through all my stacks and trust me thats a lot lol
Card Stock : Red
Embellishments : Cool Grey ribbon, Card Candi and some Bazzil Stars
Sentiment : Papermania inked with Barn Door distressing ink

From The Heart

This weeks challenge on SSDS is sponsored by Delicious Doodles,  I chose this fab image, I  love this type of wintery scene,  I only coloured in the Box as I wanted a striking center point,  I used my Copics in Reds, Greys and a bit of Black, the papers are First Edition Festive Treats,  I love their paper packs as half are embossed and glittery and half are plain and Double sided,  I chose 2 design sheets,  the embossed Hearts and snowflakes I thought this muted Green was better that the other side which was red and didnt quite work, I used my MS border punch for the heart border and finished the card with Old Paper distress ink on the image, a Large white Poinsetta from WOC and a charm I added some glamour dust to the snowy parts of the image too.

Pop on overto SSDS  and why not join in, see all the other DT Makes.
