Friday Sketchers and Papertake Weekly

Hope everyone is okay. I've not had chance to visit many blogs and leave some comments recently, I'll try my best over the next few days.

Today was my day off and I was really happy when my Miss Anya stamps dropped through the letterbox as it meant I had some time to play!

The first card is for Friday Sketchers. A fab sketch which I will probably use again in the future. I used my watercolours to colour her in.

Supplies:

Image - Miss Anya by The Greeting Farm

Paper - MME - Magnolia

Ribbon - SU! Choc Chip

Other - Flowers and brad from stash

The second card is for Papertake Weekly which is another one of Dawny's fab sketches. Love the vibrant colours on this one. Again I watercoloured her.

Supplies:

Image - Miss Anya by The Greeting Farm

Sentiment - Hero Arts

Paper - Basic Grey

Other - Flowers and brads from stash

Colour Create #3 and A Spoon Full of Sugar #39

2 more cards for 2 more challenges. I've been really busy making cards for the last couple of days. I still have 3 more to show!

The first card is using a fab sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar. I used my very new and very fab Whiff of Joy stamps from the spring kit. This is the first lot of stamps I've bought from Whiff of Joy and I'm so pleased with them. They stamp out fabulously and colour like a dream. If you didn't get the kit, I think you can now purchase them separately. I used some old papers and coloured the image in with my prismas.

Supplies:

Image - Whiff of Joy

Sentiment - Hero Arts

Paper - Basic Grey

Other - Flowers, brads and pearls from stash

Coloured using prismas

The second card was made for Colour Create which was to use the colours red, blue and white. I think I managed this one! I do like this colour combo. I dug out some papers that I have had for a while which were perfect. Little Edwin was coloured using my prismas again.

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Sentiment - unknown

Papers - Daisy Bucket

Other - buttons from stash

Coloured using prismas

I'm now off to watch the rest of Ant and Dec. Take That are performing - woohoo!

Papertake Weekly Sketch 8 and Ismaki 09/006

Before I start, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who commented on my previous card. I was overwhelmed to say the least to see that I had 20 comments! It was a real lift and a joy to read them.

I have to say that I'm not really liking both cards I have made tonight. I don't know why. I think its because I'm starting to go off all the papers used!

This card was made for the Ismaki sketch. This was a fab sketch by Kiki. Again used some old papers and a previously coloured image using watercolour pencils.

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Papers - Papermania

Sentiment - Hero Arts

Other - Flowers, brads and gems from own stash

This card was made using the Papertake Weekly Challenge sketch by Dawny. Was a very nice sketch to work with I have to say. Used a previously coloured image (using watercolour pencils) and some old stash. I'm in real need of some nice new papers as I am now well and truly bored using some of my old papers up! I need something new to kick start some creativity!

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Papers - Basic Grey

Sentiment - Stamp is unknown

Other - Flowers and brad from own stash

Double Dutch #10

This card is using a fab card on the Double Dutch blog. Really simple and could be used many times over. Used more old papers from my stash and a previously coloured image using watercolours. Still getting to grips with my prismas but the more I use them the more I love them!

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Sentiment - Hero Arts

Paper - My Minds Eye

Other - Flowers and Brads

Sketch Saturday #36 and One Stop Craft Challenge #14

Another 2 in 1! This card is for Sketch Saturday using a very nice sketch and One Stop Craft Challenge was buttons and bows. Another different card for me, monochromatic! Also this is the first card I have made using a stamped image coloured using Prismacolors - note this isn't the first image I coloured using them, just the first card made with it if you know what I mean! once again I dug out some old papers!

Supplies:
Image - Magnolia
Sentiment - Hero Arts
Papers - Papermania
Other - Flowers, Buttons and Ribbons from stash
