Catching up with a few challenges....

Today, I sat down just to catch up with a few challenges this week. I haven't made a card since last thursday... my DT card (which was posted yesterday) was made a few weeks ago, I make DT cards in advance :) My first card is for multiple challenges Keep it Simple #25 - BE INSPIRED (because I love nature and landscapes), CASology Week 67 - COUNTRY, the theme challenge at Less is More Week 142 - TREES and the CAS on Sunday #19 - GET WELL SOON Challenge.

To make this card, I roughly hand drew the scene. Then I masked and inked with a semi circle to make the land. Hand drew and colored the fence. Hand drew the tree trunks and masked n inked the tree tops with masks made with sizzix circle dies. I stamped the sun (from Studio G - iClear set) after masking the trees. Finally, drew and colored the bird. Sentiment is hand written. Country reminds me of such a scene with fence, trees, birds and sun and a bright day is always said to bring health n happiness ;)

For my second card I was inspired by the Photo at Inspired by #93 challenge, Sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!! #50 and CAS Masucline card challenge at The Paper Players #169.

I decided to make the lens of the camera with its shutter open. I cut out a 2.5x2.5" panel, stuck the circle in the center that will form the base of the lens. I then hand drew and colored the shutter of the lens using Sharpie Markers. To make the lens, I cut out a transparency and a circular frame to surround it. It was  stuck with foam dots. Finally, I hand drew and colored the flash. This is a perfect masculine card as men enjoy all these gadgets ;)


Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
