Wired for Sound

Morning All - Im on my own this weekend whilst the o't half is off on his stag do so I've had some quality time in my Craft room.
Today's post is using Wired for Sound. 
It reminds me of the 80's with the roller skates as when we were growing up there was a roller rink in town. This shut down but has recently re-opened and its cool again... I've not strayed in yet but reckon I'd look pretty much like this image - In my throw back Neon legwarms!!

I used papers from Simple Stories DIY Boutique for both the patterned panels which I mounted onto co-ordinated card stock. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn Wonky stitch rectangle. I also die cut the silver chevrons using a My Favourite things die. I added three green Doodlebug sprinkles in the top corner and then added the greeting using Doodlebug letters in pink. I used a little silver pen to highlight bits on the image.

I coloured the image using these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Hair - Ice Grey 3 & 1 along with a little Cloud blue.
Pads & walkman - Ice Grey 1 to 5.
Top - Arctic blue, Sky blue & Azure
Shorts - Lime twist, Lime green & Bright green,
Skates - Babo pink, carmine, shocking pink, vermillion.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges - 

Hope you like it... I'm going to get my mix tape and find my Ghettoblaster!

Jolly Chap with Kenny K

Morning - Time for another new Challenge over at I love Promarkers.
The challenge for this week is sponsored by Kenny K and the theme is "Men at Work"
I have used a image from Kenny K called Jolly Chap and I die cut around him using a new set of dies I got from My Favourite Things Die-Namics called Inside out stitched square dies.

I went with a kraft card background as it seemed more "manly" and made the black and white pop a bit more. The paper with printing on is from Simple Stories - DIY boutique, whilst the diagonal patterned papers are from My Minds Eye Black and Grey Necessities.
I die cut the skyscape from black and gold and slightly offset them to make them look like the light was glowing. I also die cut the Happy from gold card and created a little flag with the gold and patterned paper - which I then put a Gold Freckled Fawn heart on. The black & gold bow was from a pad of bows by Craftwork Cards called Noir De Luxe.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin -  Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice.
Suit & Hat - Ice Greys
Briefcase - Warm Greys. 
Powder blue to shade the white clothing.
I also added a little gold pen.
