Terry: It was about time that I made a card for a man,  I worked on the background with a piece of carstock, designpaper and Light Modelling Paste with a stencil. When I was finished with the stencil and light modelling paste I colored the background with a bit of Metallic PanPastel and White Coarse...to give it a lighter surface. I stamped a image and used ink around it. Placed it on another piece of cardstock and onto the card. Last but not least I placed a sentiment. Wanna see more pictures, than you can click on my name and it will bring you to my blog.

Let's have a look at this weeks inspiration from the DT

Doreen-I covered my background with Permanent Red, Phthalo Blue and Black Panpastels while masking off the moon with a punched circle. I  stamped my image and this was then mounted onto white and black card

Anjie - To create this card I used 2 of the roses from the Roses A5 stamp set and stamped them to create the corner. I stamped some of them a few times and decoupaged them up. I then used the frame and sentiment stamp and the roses in bud stamp to create the message section. For the background I used the A4 Butterfly mask and embossed it onto white card.

Yvonne - For my Birthday card this week I've used Hansa Yellow and Pthalo Blue Shade - no green!.  I blended the two colours over the background then masked off a square with a post it note.  I then stamped the raindrops and branches and removed the post it note.  More details on my blog would love you to pop over.
