Yoo Hoo! - Sketch Saturday #11

This card I made for the Sketch Saturday challenge blog. I used cream cardstock for my main card and the various papers and card from my stash. The owl is a download from Pink Petticoat and I coloured it using primacolour pencils. The little flowers are fabric and have little gem centres and these were from C&C.

Papertake Weekly Sketch #8

This card I made following Katharina's sketch over on Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog.

I thought I would go with a pink and brown colour scheme for this one and my Pink Petticoat little owl image. All the papers I have used were from my scrap box - so sorry I don't know who they were made by.

Two Cards - One Challenge

I needed to make a couple of cards to send off to a few friends, so I based both of these on Nicola's sketch over on My Paper World.

The first card I used some scrapbook paper from my stash and the little bee image is from pink petticoat - I printed it out and then watercoloured it and added some glitter to it's wings. The gem flowers are crafty bitz embellishments.

The second card I used some lovely papers and a stamp from Crafty Individuals. The four birds are stamped onto an alcohol inked background. The little "for you" which I also stamped was part of a PIF I received from one of my SBS-13 sisters, Richelle. I then punched a couple of little flowers and attached them using brads.

Ismaki Challenge and My Time to Craft

This card I made using the sketch challenge on Ismaki

It also qualifies for last weeks challenge on My Time to Craft, which was Sparkle "Use shiney card, gems or glitter".

I used pink petticoat papers, some cuddly buddly papers and some bits of card from my stash. I stamped the Cuddly Buddly stamp, Charley onto white card and watercoloured it and then cut it out. I added 3 large flower gems, which are nice and sparkly and also a prima flower.

Di Hickman March Sketch #4

I made this card following a sketch on Di Hickmans Blog. I used a lilac A5 card and the papers I used are from Pink Peticoat. I just added a purple ribbon and bow as on the sketch. I feel that there is something missing from this card - it looks too bare to me. I might alter it and add something else to it ..... but then it wouldn't follow the sketch LOL.

Inspired by a friend

One of my forum friends has some lovely black and white cards on her blog. I was so inspired by these and so made some today. Thank you Andrea for the inspiration :-)



For this card I used a black A5 card and some Pink Peticoat papers. The stamped image is one of my new Lost Coast Design stamps - Winged Girl and stamped using black stazon onto white card. I simply layered the stamped image onto some black and white cardstock and mounted it onto the card, added some black ribbon and a bow.

Spread your wings and fly

This is another of my new Lost Coast Design stamps - Spread Your Wing and Fly. Again, I stamped the image onto white card using black stazon and then layered it onto white and black card. The paper I have used is again another Pink Peticoat one and again I simply added a black ribbon and bow. I do like black and white cards :-)

Di Hickman Challenge

Happy Thursday to all :-)

This card I made for the Di Hickman Card Sketch Jan #5. Another first for me as it is the first time of joining in with the challenge.

I used Pink Petticoat Blooming Doodles paper (putty & black). I put some silver & black rose ribbon down the right hand side of the card which I matted and layered onto silver, putty and black cardstock. I put a strip of black card, mounted onto silver card running along the lower card and added two little silver heart peel offs and a black ribbon bow.

I'm not sure if I like the end result as it is quite a "busy" card - not my usual style at all - but it is growing on me LOL

Fat Book Pages

These are some FBP's I made today for the Flower swap on Craft Swap Forum. I used Pink Peticoat papers on three and the other one I used a cuttlebug embossing folder. The stamp I used is from DMD, I stamped it in lilac and then put Holographic embossing powder on. I just added a little bow and a few square lilac gems. The papers are all lilac and white, but look a little grey in the photo's.
