Beloved of Amun-Re lord of thrones…

I have a cute little image, Jude Tut, a new digi from Simply B Stamps, on the card I’m sharing.

I’ve made this card up following the current sketch over at RetroSketches, one of my favourite sketch challenges.  I swapped out the circle element for some die cut cattails because this is going out to a friend who is a landscaper.  Hence the lovely bit of woven matting for the horizontal element too.

I think little Jude is just adorable dressed up as King Tut so I guess I’ve got the cute theme at Crafting Musketeers covered so I’m entering my card over there.  Being King Tut I couldn’t colour Jude up in anything but blue and gold with a white skirt (sure the Egyptians don’t call them that but you know what I mean!) and as there is definitely no red or pink on this I am also linking it up at Open-Minded Crafting’s current challenge.

Oh my ears and whiskers…

It’s challenge time over at PunkyouGirl and it’s an easy peasy one of ‘anything goes’ and I’ve used a great image from our sponsor, SLS Lines, called Goth Girl and Rabbit.

To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch over at Retrosketches.  I just swapped out the butterfly element for my image and mounted my sentiment on a Tim Holtz Tattered Curvy Scroll.  I’ve kept the embellies and papers fairly toned down, one, as this is a ‘darker’ project in the PunkyouGirl style, and, two, I’m thinking this for a male card.

As I’ve got a die cut and the card would suit a male I am entering it in the current challenge at ScrapbookerPhD.  The inside of the card finishes the sentiment for a belated birthday card.  And yes, it’s supposed to be slightly cheeky with a nod toward the Playboy bunnies given her somewhat provocative pose and as it is for a male.

Now over at Open Minded Crafting they have a theme of ‘new year’s resolutions’ for their current challenge.  Mine is to be on time with my cards this year so how does a belated birthday card fit that theme?  Well, if past years are anything to go by where I’ve made similar resolutions to be on time with my crafting are anything to go by I am going to be raiding my stash for this card when I realise I’ve missed one of my male friend’s birthdays.  I’ll then be glad that I made this resolution and started off so well in having a card at the ready so I’m not quite so late!
