Best Dad for Chunky Monkey

Hiya, this is my first official post using the new Chunky Monkey Crafts sentiment stamps,
this set I have used is called The snarky sentiments  they are A5 in size and really well made from high quality clear photopolymer, they stamp beautifully and stick to your block really well, which is a major bug bear of mine,  don't you just hate it when you get all lined, up ink your stamp and then it promptly falls off, no chance of that happening with these beauts,  you can get this one for £12.99 from the Etsy shop there is also a smaller set A6 called Sending smiles which costs £6.99 Well worth a look.

For my Father's Day card I used a piece of stamping card that I coloured wth Oxides, Wild Honey, Antique Linen and Iced Spruce, once blended it was splashed with water and dried, I stamped a couple of Tim Holtz Crazy Cats and coloured with distress inks.

I doodled around the edge of the card using one of the white gel pens from Chunky Monkey Crafts, this is the best white pen I have ever used, and highlighted the kittys, on the back I used this stamp, which I must say is very apt because I'm sending this card to the local shop to sell, the sequins are also from Chunky Monkey Crafts and the colour is Autumn Leaf

GDT, Malkolm makes me smile

Hello, I'm delighted to be a guest design team member over at the Digi Choosday challenge for the next couple of  months. I adore polkadoodles images, so wasn't going to turn this chance down.
The DT theme is embossing either wet or dry, I used both but as always but you can join in with "Anything Goes"
Background is watercolour-card coloured with Brusho's, when dry I stamped some gold flowers using a freebie stamp and gold embossing powder, then I ran it through my Gemini with a dotty embossing folder. The edge of the picture is embossed in gold as well.


The image I chose is Little monsters Malkolm that I coloured with copics
The sentiment is from Quotes Winnie special moments
