You're 50?!?!?! Someone's Growing Old!

I have another birthday card to show you, today. This time, we have a male card.  Male cards can be so hard to do, sometimes, but I think this one turned out really cute.  What guy wouldn't love to get this?!  My card features the image and sentiment Gus Birthday - Optional, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. A mix of patterns was used - Plaid, Chevron and polka dots. (Yes, guys can have polka dots - At least on cards!) Several punches were used on the sentiments.  The buttons are recycled from an old shirt that was thrown away.  They're threaded with green and white Baker's Twine.  A tiny little bow was added, tied from thin white ribbon. The happy birthday is by Sentiments 4 You.

My Bingo for this challenge is: Starts With G (Gus), Die Cut/Punch and Twine.

I'm A Witch - So What?!

Whoo Hoo! Welcome to another Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug! As you may know, once a month, Catch The Bug has a Bingo challenge for you to play in - Well, this is Bingo week!   Everyone loves this theme, so I have a feeling you do, too!  Remember, there are fabulous digi prize packages up for grabs, so be sure to play along, for your chance to win!  Are you ready to get busy creating?! I hope so! Check out the bingo board for this challenge, as well as all the wonderful inspiration creations at Catch The Bug!

My project, today, features the image and sentiment set, Stella - Call Me Witch, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used fun Halloween papers from my stash.  Sparkle and Shine has been added to the stars and hat buckle on the image, with a clear star gelly roll pen.  I used a clear Glaze to Stella's glasses, to make the lenses have that glassy look.  The sentiment is punched with a circle punch.  The creepy ooey gooey black border was created with the Drippy Goo punch by Bugaboo Stamps. Bright green buttons, recycled from old clothing, and a polka dotted black and white ribbon, all from my stash, were used for embellishing. For my card layout, I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
