Sunday Sketch & Stamp #126

Good Morning,

It's Sunday which means a new challenge over @ Sunday Sketch & Stamp. The lovely Sam has given us a lovely sketch to work with, don't forget we do have to use either a rubber or digi stamp somewhere on our creation. You can rotate the sketch if you wish and embellish as you wish, but most of all HAVE FUN!!!

Little Mouse's Slumber

Good Evening,

I've had a little play with one of my new digi stamps that I won , it is  'Little Mouse's Slumber' from Di's digi downloads, isn' it just so cute. I was spoilt for choice, there's so many great images in their store. I'm sure to return to fill a basket or 2!

I coloured the image with Pro & Flexi Markers and added glamour dust to give the butterflies a bit of sparkle. The sentiment is computer generated & the bow has been embellished with a pearly heart. Yet again I've used my favourite embossing folder 'swiss dots'

I made this to enter this week's challenge over @ Willow Sketchie

This week you can choose to follow any sketch from recent challenges. I choose the sketch  from the 9th August, this was Pauline's final sketch before stepping down from the DT. The theme is favourite things, I've used my fav embossing folder

Friday Sketch Challenge #27

Good Morning,

I've been quiet for a few day's as I've been poorly. Usually I'm ill when on leave but this time it waited till I got back to work. Dragged myself to work as I don't want to hit a sickness trigger, on the mend now so will be round to visit you soon.

It's Friday & that means a new challenge over @ Friday Sketch Challenge & there is still time to enter the DT call there. So if you like using sketches to inspire you, hop on over to find out more.

Here's my card using the sketch that Christine has designed for us this fortnight, it's a fab sketch,nice & easy & lots of scope. Hop on over and see what the team have created to inspire you. This week's prize has been sponsored by The Digi Garden, they have some really cute images in their shop & every Friday they have a freebie for you on their facebook page

Lucy's Flower

Good Evening,

What a wet day it's been. My washing was hung out to dry but got a lot wetter. Oh well!!!
Hope everyone that went to Ally Pally had a good spend, lots of goodies to play with!

My card today has been made following the sketch & theme (paper piecing) over @ Willow Sketchie. I do like working from a sketch.

The image I have used is Lucy's Flower from The Digi Garden.
Her skin, hair & socks have been coloured with promarkers & chalk. The dress & headband have been paper pieced with the orange polka dot paper used as a backing paper which I shrunk down to give a smaller print. I then picked the colour from the dotty paper to colour a piece of paper that I then used to paper piece the shoes & flower.
The backing papers are a free download from The Shabby Princess which have been edged with a spellbinder die. Seam binding ribbon in ivory has been used across the card with a bow that has a brad in the knot. I have used a pearl in the centre of the flower & viva pearls around the image.

Here Comes the Bride & Groom

Good Evening,

Thought I would share a card with you that I was asked to make by a friend of a friend. The brief was a wedding card using the LOTV Bride & Groom image in autumnal colours. It's not a colour scheme I usually use but I think it's turned out OK.

The roses were made using a torn circle of cream pearlesent paper which was torn into a spiral & rolled.

Toadstool Fairy

Good Evening,

Bit of a chilly one here in Northampton! Soon be needing the heating on.

My card today has been made following the sketch & theme over @ Willow Sketchie.
The image is  grey scale & I have just picked out a few bits to colour in with Aqua Markers & glittered the wings with glamour dust. The backing paper is a download from Raspberry Rd 'cute as a button' & yet again I have used the swiss dot embossing folder to emboss a strip of white paper. Everything has been mounted onto yellow mats and scalloped circle die from Spellbinders.

I would like to welcome all of my new followers, I am so pleased you decided to join me.
