Hi! After winning City Crafter Challenge’s Week 299 challenge in February, Kirsty invited me to guest design for one of their upcoming challenges.
So, today is the big day and I’m so happy and excited to be here as a Guest Designer for City’s Crafter Challenge Blog’s Week 306 Challenge “You are my Super Hero!”
Isn’t this a bright, fun and inspiring challenge graphic?
(1) Super Hero
(2)Comic Strips
(3) the word SUPER
You don’t have to follow the color of the picture, but if you could find inspiration from there, that would be great too!
Here’s my card:
I made this for my son’s 17th birthday later this month. 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed making a card for this challenge! I had a perfect Papertrey Ink stamp set to use. I’d like to play this at The Male Room’s Challenge#32 – Theme, Magic/Fantasy.
I used an emboss-resist technique (on tiles #2, #3, #5 & #9), some stamping, masking, a little fussy cutting and a bit of drawing (Spiderman’s head) to make this card. I would like to play along at Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge 224-225: Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp Monday’s: Try to Resist.
I popped up the sentiments with foam tape and stamped on the inside of the card too.
This card was so fun and, surprisingly quick and easy, to create.
I wrote 1 of the sentiments by hand, but I did make a little spelling error. Can you spot the sentiment and the incorrect spelling? 🙂
I’m really happy with the result and I think my son will like it. Shhhh! Don’t tell him, it’s a surpirse! 😉
Please make sure to check out all of the DT members super work!
Thank you Kirsty, Ros, Stella and Marina for allowing me to be your guest for this challenge!

P.S. Here’s my winning card from challenge #299. This was another joy-filled card to make. 🙂
Love it! This really is perfect for a little boy (and some not so little ones too!). This is brilliant. Thanks so much for playing along with our Magic/Fantasy theme at The Male Room. Deborah, DT.

Ohhh my goodness I am so jealous. This card is perfect and I have a 32 year old son who is so into the super heroes he would so love this. I wouldn’t even know where to start. He has a spiderman and ironman outfit that he loves wearing to fancy dress parties and actually dresses up and knocks on the front door and when my granddaughter answers she thinks spiderman or ironman have come to visit. Cracks me up so much.
Anyway back to your card, what a brilliant creation and since I cant spell for nuts I couldn’t find the spelling error so your safe with me. Bet your son treasures this one for ever.
