Sketch Saturday #79

This card I have made using the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.  I love working with their sketches, and this was no exception.  It worked really well with the image I used.  I used those papers again, are you sick of them yet?

Supplies: Whiff of Joy stamp; Daisy & Dandelion sentiment stamp; MME paper; Stampin' Up! eyelet punch; brown chalk ink; pearls, snowflake punch

Sketch Saturday #73

Hope you are well. It's the middle of the week and not long now until the weekend.  This is the last card I made on Sunday and I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday, it was right up my street!  I used my lovely Henry mouse stamp from WoJ and used those very lovely (and colourful!) MME papers.

I really hope you are not bored of my Christmas cards especially as I seem to have repeated the stamps and papers a lot!

Supplies:

Image - Whiff of Joy

Sentiment - Daisy & Dandelion

Paper - MME

Tools - SU Scallop Punch and Snowflake Punch

Other - Gems from stash

Thanks for taking the time to look!

Sketch Saturday #71

Here is my card for a great sketch on Sketch Saturday.  I flipped it to work with the image.  I went with Christmas again using those Cosmo Cricket papers (well they are still out and I really must use up papers!) and an old Magnolia.

Supplies:

Images - Magnolia

Paper - Cosmo Cricket

Tools - Snowflake punch

Other - Gems and Pearls from stash

1 Card, 4 Challenges!

Today's card I've managed to enter into FOUR challenges!! I always look at the challenge blogs and see if I can group a one together with a sketch.  I managed to group three with a sketch today.  I think that's the most challenges I've entered one card into, it would have been five if I had used different papers.  Serves me right for not concentrating.

So the four challenges I've entered are: Sketch Saturday, Anyone for Anya (funky flowers), Secret Crafter (one for the girls) and Cupcake Craft Challenges (pearls and swirls).

I'm still using up my Wild Raspberry papers (I hope you are not bored of look at the same papers!!). I still have loads left!  The image was coloured using promarkers and it was one I'd found in a little pile of images I'd stamped and coloured ages ago.

Supplies:

Image - Miss Anya by The Greeting Farm

Paper - K & Co

Tools - Flower punches, Cuttlebug and Nestabilities

Other - Brads and pearls from stash

Sketch Saturday DT Call

Here's my card for the Sketch Saturday DT call.  I've entered DT calls before and never been successful but I don't let it get me down, I will keep trying and one day hopefully I will be!  I love how this turned out in the end.

I've used a stamp that I've had for ages and never used, Flutter Anya by The Greeting Farm.  I've coloured it using promarkers and used some more of my fave papers from K&Co.

Supplies:

Sketch Saturday #56

My entry for Sketch Saturday. I love this card. I don't usually use a lot of yellow. But this looks great. Again used promarkers to colour in. I also used my new fave papers from K&Co. I got this stamp a few days ago. It's so easy to colour in. I think I may have to invest in a few more even though I should now be saving to pay for my holiday!

Friday Sketchers and Sketch Saturday

First this one is just for fun. No sketch and no challenge. Love the colours in this one and I love how it turned out. Used some fab ribbon which I got from the local garden centre! Matches very well I think. Used my prismas to colour this little gorjuss girl in.

This card is for Friday Sketchers. Such a simple sketch - I like those!! The picture quality is a bit poor - sorry. Again I used my prismas to colour the image in. I glittered up those wings for a it of sparkle.

Supplies:

Image - Magnolia

Sentiment - unknown

Paper - My Minds Eye

Other - Flowers, pearl and brads from stash

This is made using the sketch at Sketch Saturday. I turned it round to fit the image I used. Again I used prismas to colour the image. Am really getting used to these now especially as I ordered some more! Also dug out the lovely MS punch that I bought back with me from Florida.

Sketch Saturday #39

I received a GORJUSS delivery yesterday!! I have been playing with them ever since. I made a card earlier tonight and I will show it as soon as I can! I probably won't be around much. I'm off to race night tomorrow with some friends and then at the weekend we are helping a friend move into his new house! I have Monday off next week, we have gone on a four day week for a couple of months so I'm hoping to have a little craft time!

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:

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:

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!

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!
