Mo's Captain Hugh

I love this image from Mo - in fact all her kiddy dressing up ones - although this one was for a  rather big kid!!  This is  Captain Hugh and you can find him here in Mo's store.  There is also a whole host of piratey accessories here although I was making a quick card so didn't have time to use them. 

As it needed to be quick,  I kept the card very simple, using Marianne Nautical Papers (PK9133).  I also punched out the little anchor candi dots from the paper too.

His cutlass, and skull and crossbones, are really ancient Quickcutz dies, I think, but great for this card, and I stamped the sentiment myself using a recent freebie from Making Cards magazine - an Alphabet stamp set! 

Well it's just about the weekend so hope yours is a good one.

Hugs, Juliexx

Something new for me

I've been wanting to have a go at using Ten Second Studio metal products for quite a while and when I saw Leandra French from PaperArtsy demonstrating last week at Ally Pally that was it I was hooked!  This was my first attempt which I feel quite pleased with, but I have also booked myself in on a one day Work shop at the Craft Barn in a few weeks time so that I really know what I'm doing!  This card was for my Dad - feel that  the metalwork just lends itself to male cards, which I always struggle with.

Basic Grey papers, Ten Second Studio Copper Metal, PaperArtsy Stamps, QuickKutz flourish die cut, K&Co sentiment.

Talking of the Craft Barn, take a look at the wonderful Candy they're offering to celebrate the first anniversary of their website!

This is along with a whole week of celebrations so go and have a peek!!
