Spoil yourself today.......



Hi Guys,
This week the Design Team at Feeling Sketchy get to play with some awesome images from our sponsor

 
You can check out the store here .

I have used the adorable Bubble Bath Sassy on my card this week and I could not resist adding a cheeky shower curtain to the sketch layout. It just fitted in perfectly and what girl doesn't love a bubble bath and a little pampering!




 Sassy was coloured in using my trusty Pro Markers, I have used my favourite skin tone colours of Blush, Dusty Pink and Coral. The bubbles have been given the sparkle treatment with twinkling like stars clear Spica pen but sadly it doesn't show up to well in the photo. Anyway, I hope you like my card this week and it inspires you to play along with the great sketch over at Feeling Sketchy.

I hope to see your card there, I'll be sure to drop by and leave you some love :)

Happy crafting

Butterfly and Sunflowers for #68

Hi Guys,
Now that I am working full time and my daughter and I are busy doing Uni visits at the moment, my visits here are getting less and less, however, I still like to know that you have come to visit my blog and see my Art 4U. This week is another image from our great Sponsor Eureka Stamps. the image I have used here is called Butterfly and Sunflower however as you can see I didn't go with the traditional Sunflower colour!






I coloured the image in with my trust ProMarkers.....I was missing them a bit, hadn't pulled them out in a while! All the papers are from Stampin' Up! although a retired set from a few years back. I can't quite remember the name of it but it was a page layout kit the included a couple of sheets of embellishments.

I have given the butterfly a bit of a 3D effect by cutting it out and sculpting the wings a little with my sculpting tool. If you don't have a special tool it is really easy to do by simply rubbing the back surface with a rounded object onto a mouse pad or similar soft surface. I find paint or makeup brushes often work well.

I hope you like my card and decide to come and play with us at Feeling Sketchy. Here is this weeks sketch:




Also go and check out the Stamps at Eureka Stamps......you never know you might be our monthly winner!


Happy creating until next time ....

OOPS!

Oops....I am so sorry guys. I completely missed uploading this weeks Feeling Sketchy card Blog. I have been crazy busy and it slipped my mind but here it is a little late.






 Image and prizes for this month sponsored by 


This one was done using the sponsors image Hummer and Gladioli which I have coloured using watercolour pencils and a blender pen, then fussy cut around. A liitle different for me but I have lost my mojo and can't seem to find it. So please if you haven't done so, go check out the wonderful cards from the other DT members and play along in the challenge.

 Back with another card for Feeling Sketchy. Naomi is really rockin' it with these sketches, they are awesome. I thought I would add some bright and cheery this week with pretty florals from Bo Bunny's Ambrosia Collection of papers.This is really a very different combo for me but I let the papers do the talking.

Blinged Up for FS #65

Hi Guys,
I hope your creative juices are flowing and you a ready for another great sketch from the Feeling Sketchy Team.
This week, in honour of our generous sponsors, I have added some Bling to my card. I have used Stampin' Up!'s Crumb Cake and Soft Suede as my colour combo with a touch of the recently retired Bravo Burgundy in the sentiment. The background has been stamped with Flowering Flourishes in crumb cake with the embossed Fan Fare piece for accent. The flower I picked up from my local scrapbook shop some time ago.

This is a great sketch to work with so please join us and enter a card at Feeling Sketchy.

Here is my card:
And this is the Sketch:


I love seeing what you create from our sketches so please have a go and I will stop by and give you some love.
