The Pixie Cottage Challenge & Passionately Artistic Challenge

Wednesday brings two challenges and it makes it much easier to do them
all in one so please patiently scroll a bit to get to the bottom...
Hope you all are staying cool. Here in the desert we are having
some really hot days. It was 117 degrees today
and supposed to be hotter tomorrow!

The first Challenge is at The Pixie Cottage.
As always we have a theme and sketch. You can choose one or
both. I used the theme
Summer Nights. MY brother has
a birthday on the first


so this man card is for him.
He just retired and now will have
the time to do the things he likes. One of those things is
fishing a
nd here in the desert it is way to hot to go in the
day so night fishin
g is pretty popular in the summer.

My image is called Gone Fishing, it was water colored and cut out
with a Spellbinder label #1 and matted on the green. Used the same
Spellbinder to cut out the fish dp. A little meandering stitching round
and round in brown just for a little interest. The card is tied
together at the top with the ribbon. I cut out a couple fish, shaped them
a bit and foam dotted on along with the sentiment.

Supplies used: SU and DC papers, SU scalloped
punch, Spellbinder Label #1 Pixie Cottage image,
Offray ribbon,foam dots water colors,
and Misc button.

Entering Challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar: Birthday
Tip Top Tuesday: Man Card
Cards for Men: Anything goes
Lollilpop Crafts: Make it Masculine
Sparkles Forum: One for the boys



The second Challenge is at Passionately Artistic and our theme is
Anything Goes. Some great prizes so be sure to stop by and link up to
the party. My card is using an old image from a stamp that doesn't
have the name or make on it.

I used water colors and some copics to color this image then
cut it out. Added some stickles around the frame and to the
roses. I stamped the scriptureand inserted in the cut out center. Matted the image onto the beaded
circle and attached that to the base embossed base.
There it is a small simple card.


Entering Challenges:
Cards and More: Anything but a Square
Papertake Weekly: Dies to die for
Shopping Our Stash: Red, Ribbon or Roses
Digi Design House: Dry Embossing
Clearly I Stamp: Scripture
SU papers, swirls embossing folder,

misc image and stickles.

Davi, your brother is sure to love the fisherman card. Just super and I'm sure he will know you put a lot of thought into making it just for him.

The second card is so beautiful with the verse surrounded by those gorgeous flowers.

117 degrees????? Yikes!!
