Friday Sketchers #68

This is a card I made for Friday Sketchers.  It was made for my friend Lyndsey and her fiancee, Sean.  They recently got engaged.  So Lyndsey if you are reading this - big congratulations again!!! 

I used papers which I have had for a while, and to be honest I'd forgotten about them and found them in a pile of others!  It's also the first time I have used this stamp and I've had it absolutely ages!! Isn't that just so bad!!  I used promarkers to colour the image once again.

Supplies:

Image - Sarah Kay

Sentiment - Stampin' Up!

Paper - Cosmo Cricket

Tools - Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Retro Flower Punches and Martha Stewart Border Punch

Other - Brads and pearls from stash

Cute Card Thursday #51

Here is a card I made using the sketch from Cute Card Thursday. I enjoyed working with this sketch. I used a lovely Tilda stamp which my mum bought for our friend Lyndsey. She came over a couple of weeks ago and spent the day with us. I will at some point show off the cards I made! Anyway whilst here she let me stamp this cute little Tilda. Here she is! I used my prismas to colour her in.

Look! I've even decorated the inside!! I won't be doing this all the time!

Supplies:

Images - Magnolia

Sentiment - Stampin Up

Papers - My Mind's Eye

Others - Punched flowers, flowers and brads from stash

Whiff of Joy Challenge

I thought as I now had some WoJ stamps, that I would take part in this week's Whiff of Joy Challenge. Not only is this a challenge but also a call for Guest Designer for Whiff of Joy Stamps. Katharina has provided a fantastic sketch. I absolutely loved making this card up. It's one of the best I think I have made for a long while and love it! I had a rumage through my box of Basic Grey papers and found some I've not used before. The image is obviously Whiff of Joy and is one from the spring set. I've used my prismas again.

Supplies:

Image - Whiff of Joy

Sentiment - Stampin Up

Papers - Basic Grey

Other - Charm, flowers, brad and ribbon from my stash

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend. Doesn't it go so quick?!

Cute Card Thursday #47, Sketch Saturday #38 and Friday Sketchers #39

So you've waited a week for a card and three come along at once! I've been storing them up!

The first is for Cute Card Thursday which was 'music and dance'. This little image of Edwin strumming on his guitar was perfect. Dug out some old papers and used those prismas again!

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Papers - Basic Grey

Sentiment - stamp unknown

Other - buttons from stash

The second card is made for Sketch Saturday. It was such a nice sketch to work with and I am sure if I am stuck, this will get used again. Don't you just love Tilda and Edwin in this?? It's so cute. Again dug out some old papers and used my prismas again.

Supplies:

Images - Magnolia

Papers - K & Co

Sentiment - Stampin Up!

Other - punched flowers and brads from stash

The third and final card for today was made for the Friday Sketchers. I love the colours I've used - bright and cheery. This has to be one of my fave Tilda stamps. Again I've dug out some papers and coloured with my prismas. They are certainly getting a work out and I'm about now getting used to them! I do miss my watercolours though.

Ok I'm now off to watch the rest of the Brits. Coldplay are on at the moment and I have to say they sound great (I love that song!) but personally I can't wait to see Take That as I have loved those boys (sorry men!) since I was 12 years old! But how fantastic does Kylie look at 40?? Wow! What an amazing woman. And James Cordon and Mat Horne?? They are hilarious!

Yes I know I've been a bit AWOL since Christmas. Hope you are all okay and had a lovely Christmas and New Year.
