Sarah Kay - Week 6

This week over on the Sarah Kay Challenge Blog is a sketch. I really enjoyed making this card and feel like I'm getting back into making cards again.

I dusted off my Craft Robo and used it to cut out my scalloped oval and also the large scalloped rectangle. The papers I used are from DCWV and the blue flower is a Bazzil Bling with a small prima on top. I stamped my image using black stazon and coloured most of the image with prismacolour pencils and the the flowers I water-coloured using sakura gel glitter pens. I then used some distress inks to do the grass and sky.

Shout Out to SheetLoad

Whilst blog hopping the other day I came across http://sheetload.blogspot.com/. Each month they release a free ezine which you can download in pdf format. Go on, pop over there and have a look. For this month, May they are giving away Bella's and other things too.

Here are a couple of cards I made using this May issue - as I don't have any Bella's I've used a Cuddly Buddly stamp and a Magnolia tilda. I used Glossy blue cardstock for the main card and then used cream card, DCVW paper, yellow cardstock and white card onto which I stamped and then watercoloured the images. I've also left off the sentiment (from the bottom of the card) until I know what I'm using these for.

Funky Fairys Challenge 9

It hasn't been a bad day here today, dull but dry. I managed to get a little crafting done.
I made this tag for the challenge on Funky Fairys "Create a tag, something tag-shaped or including one or more tags, and your tags can be any shape or size"
I used Tim Holtz Distress ink for the background and then stamped the Tim Holtz sentiment/saying randomly over the tag. I used some DCVW paper and stamped the sentiment again and also stamped the Tim Holtz bird and then I tore the papers to get a nice rough edge on them and then inked the edges using old paper distress ink. I then just added some ribbon and fibres.
