May Card Challenge - Characters

This months challenge has been sponsored by Visible Image. 


Visible Image is a clear stamp designer and manufacturer run by Mark & Helen. "Our stamps are made with high quality photopolymer and are very deeply etched, 4mm thick, to ensure you get a perfectly stamped image every time you use them. Every stamp is also hand-cut ready for you to use. Our designs include unique characters, brilliant backgrounds, stunning sets, original verses and sentiments, and much more.... We are sure to have something you'll adore!"








Lynn and I met Mark & Helen at Alexandra Palace recently and were impressed by their lovely stamps. 

The challenge is to make a card using a character (or more) if you have Visible Image stamps please use them, if not, any character stamped image will do.
We were inspired by the following card so asked our DT to work with this couple - Bradley and Emma - it's fun to see how different they all are.


We were very impressed with the quality of the stamps and the image they create.

Here are the cards created by our design team to give you some inspiration.

C is for Corrugated Cardboard

Scrapology have discovered a talented scrapper on Scrapbook.com to introduce to you this month. 

Her name is Tracy Christine Funk from Ontario, Canada. Tracy is a stay at home mum to two boys, Evan(14) and Colin (10). Her gallery can be found HERE.
Here is the lovely layout called 'Four Sisters' we have chosen to scraplift:
Tracy says this photo shows her mother (on the left) and three of her five sisters in the 1940's



We challenge you to create a layout inspired by Tracy's page, our sketch and DT samples. We would love to see you incorporate some corrugated card as well.

A great video is available on Gabrielle Pollocco's blog using corrugated card which we think you will find both inspiring and useful.
