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.
Supplies:

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!

Grrrr

I have been sat here for ages trying to get my images to load. I'm not having much luck. Hopefully I will be back later tonight with a couple of cards to show off!

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

Cute Card Thursday #46, Stamp Something and Friday Sketchers #38

A 3 in 1 card today. I made this Friday afternoon as we were sent home from work early because of the snow! Very unusual for them to shut the whole office however it didn't seem very fair that those that live out of town could go and us that live in town had to work so they had no choice! What was funny is that by the time we left it had stopped snowing, we all made a quick dash before they changed their minds! At least I had time to do something useful!

So, this card is for Cute Card Thursday which was "metallica". I have used metal heart brads. Stamp Something which was something for valentines and Friday Sketchers which was a fab sketch. I enjoyed making this card mainly because I should have been at work! I used my new Tilda and coloured her with prismas. I'm starting to get a little better with them! Dug out my fave papers again.

Supplies:
Image - Magnolia
Papers - Daisy Bucket
Others - Flowers and brads from my own stash
