Hi everyone! Hope you're all well. I've a couple of cards for the Cupcake Craft Challenge this week. The theme is to make a card for a male- adult or child- so I've decided to do both! So first up is Grillafella. I love this stamp so much cos what man doesn't like to BBQ? I coloured him in with watercolour pencils and double mounted him on assorted cardstock that I'd corner punched. The papers are all from the Papermania male pad. Sentiment is Lili of the Valley.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Stamping Bella); Watercolour pencils; Paper (Papermania); Assorted cardstock; Corner punch (Woodware); Sentiment (Lili of the Valley)
My second card is this little cutie stamp by Spiral Whisper. I coloured him in using copics and then masked him out whilst I sponged ink onto the background. I doubled mounted him with assorted cardstock. The paper I can't remember who it's by but I bought it from Banana Frog, I thought it'd be great for little boys' cards. I also cut out some rings using nesties just to add a bit of dimension.

Onto my 2 awards, I received these from the lovely Helen. These awards come with the following: "These blogs are exceedingly charming, these are the kind of bloggers who aim to find and become friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are proper gated, please give more attention to these writers."
It's so lovely to receive these from Helen as I'm glad to say she is a top blogging buddy who is full of encouragement and support! I'd like to pass these on to 8 lovely people who've left really supportive messages to me recently. They are:
Thank you, ladies x
