Food is love!

Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Love is in the Air. I have used this fab image called Trattoria Chef.

I definately love food!!! And get a great deal of enjoyment from eating. In fact my day is probably planned around meals and what the next thing to eat will be!!

I kept the card fairly simple and the image as the key focus. I coloured him in with promarkers an fussy cut around him. I die cut a large heart using a Spellbinders Nestibilites from My Favourite Things Paper pad Hearts and Stripes collection. I added some ribbon from my stash and three striped Card Candi dots from Craftworks cards.
The greeting was stamped using letters from Lawn Fawn alphabet called Harold's ABC.  Finally I added Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen over the grey fork to make it look metallic.

I coloured the image with these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Skin -  Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Apron - Red, Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy
Hair  & Fork - Cool Greys
Spaghetti -  Saffron & Sandstone.
Meatball - Pine, Saddle Brown & Burnt Umber.
Sauce - Firebrick & Poppy.
Powder blue on the whites to shade

Hope you like this card and agree with me that the way to the heart is definitely through the stomach!!

Hole in one Hal - Father's Day

This is Hole in one Hal from Dr Digi. This is my latest DT post over at the Dr Digi blog. I've made this for Father's Day for the future Father in law.

I used 3 different papers from My Minds Eye Lime Twist range called Out of the Blue. Its one of my favourites for Men's cards and I am nearly running out - but I'm not sure its around anymore.
I fussy cut around the digi image and die cut two scalloped circles one in Salt Bazzill Swiss dot and one in black which I used to mount everything. I used a Friskars edge punch on the Orange paper and also on the black but staggered it so that it created an mounted edge.
I die cut the Happy and Day from the same black bazzill card stock and used Amy Tangerine - American crafts Thickers to spell out Fathers.
I used 3d foam to attach Hal to the die cut and also to attach 3 white card candi from Craftworks Cards that reminded me of Golf balls! I also added a little glaze to his sun visor.

To make this card I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. 
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice.
Hair, golf bag & Shoes - Ice Greys 1 - 5
Top - Soft Peach, Mango, Peach & Orange.
Shorts - Capri Blue, Midnight blue & Navy Blue.
Clubs - Ice Grey 2, 4 & 5
