New Challenge #85 at Glitter N Sparkle

YAY,
It's Sunday again.
Well I've been a busy little bee this week,
I was asked to make some cards to donate
for a charity sale this weekend.
So I've spent most of the week making 
around 100 quick cards for all occasions.

Then as well as that 
I've been trying to get myself organised 
for my Sisters Hen Do next weekend.
Forgot just how much you need 
to sort out for a holiday.
but panic over I found my Passport (lol)
got my Spending Money,
and even remembered Travel Insurance.
Just need to do the Washing, Ironing 
and pack my Suitcase 

Anyway here is my project for this Week.
I'm using an Image that I already own,
by the very talented 
Mitzi Sato-Wuiff's Images:-

The Theme at 
Glitter n Sparkle is:-
Male Card/Masculine Colours

Our Sponsors this week are:-


The Doodle Garden who are offering
3 Images from their store

The Stamping Boutique who are offering
3 Images from their store
(4 if you used one of their images)

Eureka who are offering
5 Images from their store


QKR Stampede who are offering
5 Images from their store

Aurora Wings who are offering
an $10 Gift Certificate for their store

My project for this week is:-

Warrior and His Pack of Wolves Digi Stamp 
from Aurora Wings
(one of our sponsors)

I thought this Image would be perfect to make a 
'Game of Thrones' Fathers Day Card.
And I know a certain someone who thinks 
it is the best thing out at the moment.
With the Wolves and Snow, 
it just reminded me of
Jon Snow of the Nights Watch,
with Ghost, Summer and ShaggyDog...



To began with I used an A4 sheet of 
Pearl Black Card
(Ross Papers)
and cut it to make a 16.5x24cm Rectangle.
Then Scoring it at 4cm, 8cm and 16cm
to make the folds.
This is my Base Card.

Next I printed off the image for this project,

on White DC Paper.

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.
               Skin -                Vanilla
                                        Satin
                                        Dusky Pink (Mouth)
               Hair -                 Burnt Sienna
                                        Slade
                                        Cool Grey 5
                                        Black
               Tunic -              Cool Grey 2
                                        Pastel Blue
               Belts -               Burnt Sienna
                                        Cool Grey 3
                                        Black
               Boot/Gloves -    Burnt Sienna
                                        Shale
                                        Cool Grey 3
                                        Black
               Fur Cloak -        Cool Grey 1
                                        Cool Grey 3
                                        Cool Grey 4
               Outside Cloak - Black
               Inside Cloak -    Cool Grey 4
                                        Cool Grey 5
               Scarf -               Cool Grey 4
                                        Cool Grey 5
                                        Black
               Snow -              Pastel Blue
               Sword -             Cool Grey 4
               Wolf Mouths -   Dusky Rose
               Wolf Eyes -       Gold
                                        Poppy
               Wolf Fur -         Cool Grey 1
                                        Cool Grey 2
                                        Cool Grey 3
                                        Cool Grey 4
                                        Sandstone
For the Sword Blade I used a Metallic Silver Gel Pen. 
And for Highlighting I used a Black Fibre-tip Pen
on the Outside and Inside of the Cloak,
the Scarf and the Sword.

For the Sky I sponged on a bit of Light Grey Ink 

(Me-To-You),
just to give it a bit of a stormy feel.

Then I using a 10x13.5cm rectangle 

of Pearl Black Paper
(Ross Papers) 
I Die-Cut out the Largest MFD008 Rectangle
(Nellie Snellen)
and used the frame that was left 
to place my image inside.
making sure that the White Paper was slightly
larger so that it made a border 
around the Black Paper.

Next I cut out a 11x14.5cm Rectangle of

Dark Grey Card
(stash)
and placed my framed Image on it.
And place it on the back facing fold 
of my Base Card.

For my Sentiment,

I've used the 1st Line of the Night's Watch Oath
(from G.G.Martin's Game of Thrones)
'Night gathers, and now my Watch begins.'
and 'Happy Father's Day'
and printed it off using the 
'Pristine' Font on my computer.
 I then Backed it on to some 
Pearl Black Paper and 
then again on Dark Grey Card.
And placing it in the centre of the 
front facing fold of my Base Card.

And to finish off my card 
with a touch of embellishment,
I added some Black with Silver Circle Candies
(Candi, Cardwork Crafts).
