RILEY1813, Make It Male!

Hello, it's challenge time at Riley and Company, and our hostess this week is Frances! It was Father's Day this past Sunday in Australia, so she's challenging us to make a card for a Male!

I must confess I had no idea Father's Day was different in other countries. The other night my Daughter went to bed and came out looking real upset. She had looked at her calendar and saw it was Father's Day and thought she had missed it! lol

So for my card today, I went with a card shark/poker theme! This is Poker Riley, I coloured him with copics. The designer paper is from Kaiser Kraft, called Shaken not stirred, perfect for this Riley.

I also used this weeks MOJO Monday Sketch MOJO309.

Please join us in our challenge and upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY1813.

Have a Great Day!

Riley January Sneak Peek Day #3!

Hello Out there, welcome to Day 3 of the Riley and Company Sneak Peeks! Today I'm showing you 2 more of the new Rileys being released this month!

First we have the new Cookie Riley, but I changed him to Sophie, it was easy and Riley didn't seem to mind...I think he's a bit of a cross dresser at heart! lol

Riley/Sophie is coloured with copics. I also stamped him/her again on scrap paper and drew on a little skirt. Then I cut the skirt out, and used it as a template to draw a skirt on dp. For the blouse, I just drew on a collar and (the right word escapes me) but the lines going done! I added dots with a copic and the buttons are tiny gems.

The card base is cherry cobbler with a layer of old olive embossed with the swiss dot EF. The dp is from October afernoon. trift shop. I also added a vanilla border made with a MS edge punch.

The flower was made with the sizzlits birds & blooms die and the little leaves die.

The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings set!

The truth is out Riley is a party animal! lol I have several ideas for the new Poker Riley, this just happened to be the one that came to life first!

Riley was coloured with copics, and don't you love those cards!!! it's Basic Grey dp from the June Bug pad, it really reminded me of the design you often see on cards!

I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen. The band around the flask is Bo Bunny. Riley and the sentiment (from SU) are popped up!

Don't forget, tomorrow Thursday January 20th is the Riley Release and Blog Hop, at 10 pm est. There will be blog candy, all you have to do is leave a comment on each Design Team Members Blog for your chance to win!

Have a Great Day!
