Well done ladies! Don't forget to pick up your Top 3 badges for your blogs!

So back to our 'One for the Boys' challenge, the DT have created some fabby projects to inspire you!

Anjie - To create my card I used the Roses A5 stamp set. You wouldn't think that a Roses stamp set would suit for a male card would you! For the background I stamped the large splat in a dark blue ink, and then the smaller splat with a lighter blue and a dark yellow. For the front stripe I used the 3 different clock faces and a set of clock hands in the same colours. I used the Phthalo Blue Shade - Pan Pastel to give a distressed look around the edges. I then added one of the sentiments to the front and some bakers twine.

Claire C I've made a canvas using Maimeri Light Modelling Paste and PanPastels in Raw Umber plus Shade, Burnt Sienna plus Shade creating lots of texture to give a wood effect and sealed with Maimeri Glossy Gel Medium. I've used Maimeri Acrylic Paints on the cogs.

 

Terry I was playing around with a heart wallhanger for the Boys, the background is worked on with light modelling paste, the roses stencil. The roses are colored with PanPastels that I mixed together. The wooden butterflies underneith are colored with Pans too. 

 

Lou: I too have used the Roses A5 stamp set. as adore all the elements of this sheet. I created my background using Diarylide Yellow Shade, Raw Umber, Hansa Yellow Tint and Rich Gold pan pastels. For my background, I have over stamped with the clock image using Mustard Seed distress ink. On the main image, I have stamped my images using black Adirondak ink pad. Hearts have been punched out from red card and layered. Also for a change, I have made a DL card!

        

I'm sure you'll agree the DT have created some fabulous projects to inspire you. You can find the linky for the challenge

Good morning, and welcome to a brand new challenge.

One for the boys

You've got two whole weeks to enter and as always the DT have created some gorgeous projects to inspire you

Claire C I've made a card for a new baby boy using Maimeri Light Modelling Paste, a Dutch Doobadoo Stencil and PanPastels in Ultramarine Blue Tint and Diarylide Yellow and Tint The image has been coloured with Graph'It markers and I've distressed the edges with Raw Umber PanPastel

 

Terry I have made a Vintage Babycard for a boy, I have worked with scappaper, colored the die underneith the baby with blue PanPastel, the hearts and all around the card and even the roses are colored with Pans. And to finish I placed some lace and hearts.

Lou: I decided to show how versatile Pan Pastels are with your die cuts to make a "Dad" themed card. The majority of my die cuts (at least 90%) were cut from cream, linen card and I have coloured them with my pan pastels. Full details of how I coloured my die cuts can be found on my blog.
