Sweet Stampin' - Punches and Dies

The title might sound like the synopsis of a Rocky film, but it's actually the theme of our new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'!

We had a great week looking at all the lovely entries in our mega birthday prize giveaway so don't forget to hop over to Sweet Stampin' tomorrow to see if you are one of the lucky winners.

We are sponsored this week by Pollycraft and the DT (Team Abi) were each given an image to use. I had this handsome chap:


I coloured the image with Copics and cut him out with a square Nestie. The shaped mats are cut using Go Kreate dies and the grass is a Magnolia Doohickey. 

I used digi papers from NitWits this time as I wanted something a bit more modern to go with the image.  I added some buttons from my stash and threaded some Basic Grey fibres through them.

The sentiment is from a Craftwork Cards pack that I've had for ages and the ribbon was off a box of chocolates!

Hoping that the weather improves and that we don't get the terrible gales that are forecast.  They often mean no power and that really is miserable, especially at the weekend!

Hi Tracey, great image and perfect masculine card - love the colours. Do hope the wild weather didn't do too much damage to the power lines. In a related sort of way, the high tides made it down to us and caused havoc at a local seal colony - washed some of the pups out to sea!
