Feeling Sketchy Wk 35 Sketch

Hi there!
It has certainly been silly season around here for the last few weeks but this weekend I was determined to get a card made to enter into a challenge. I decided to go with the great Sketch over at Feeling Sketchy this week. It's Mum's birthday on Monday so I have made a birthday card using the sketch and when it comes to my Mum I can never go past butterflies...she loves them!

Here is my Card:

The papers are from a paper stack by  Prima called Rondelle, I have fussy cut a few extra bits to add dimension. The butterflies are from Stampin' Ups Papillon potpourri which I stamped in black staz on and coloured with my trusty blender pen. Stickers and glitter ribbon are from my stash.

Here is the sketch:

I hope Mum likes her birthday card!

Always the Flower Girl

I am off to Canberra this weekend for my cousins wedding so craft time is a bit limited but I couldn't leave without entering a card into a couple of my favourite challenges. I have used the very appropriately named "Always the Flower Girl"digi image from Tiddly Inks for my card and followed the fab sketch that Jess and the girls have come up with over at Feeling Sketchy.

Here is my card:

I am entering this into Tiddly Inks Challenge #98 Gratitude and also Feeling Sketchy Week #33 which is this sketch:

All the papers are from Stampin' Up! as well as the sentiment. I have colored the adorable image in with my Pro Markers and the flowers again are a SU! stamp that I have colored and fussy cut to tie in with the flowers she is holding. I hope you like her.

FMS #60 Wedding card

Next weekend my husband and I are traveling to Canberra to attend my cousins wedding, so today I have made a card for this wonderful occasion.

I have used Stampin' Up! card stock, inks and stamps. I don't know why but I always find this colour combo very romantic! LOL The sketch the Tui has come up with at Freshly Made Sketches was the perfect layout for this card so I am entering into this weeks challenge.
Here is the sketch:

As you can see i have embellished a bit but hey it is a wedding card after all and I like them to be a bit special. The bow, flowers and hat pin finish the layout just nicely.

Colours: Crumb Cake, Neutrals,  Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, Illuminate shimmer.

Teddy Flower for Feeling Sketchy

WOW these challenges have got me hooked!  I am amazed that I have found (or should I say made) the time to participate in  my very busy schedule. My darling sister Naomi told me about this challenge at Feeling Sketchy so I thought I would play along.

My Mum gave me some Lily of the Valley images that she got as a freebie when she purchased a magazine some time ago, I decided to use the very cute and adorable "Teddy Flower" for this card.

This is the sketch layout, as you can see I decided to flip mine to suit the image.

 All the papers are from Stampin Up! also the ribbon and sentiment. The little leaves were cut out on the Big Shot.

 I have coloured the image using Pastel Pencils and my trusty blender pen. I used the flick technique in three different colours on Ted to give him that real fur effect. I think he looks very cute.
I have enjoyed playing in my first Feeling Sketchy challenge.

Card Stock: Early Espresso,Primrose Petal, Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade DSP, Whisper White (sponged)
Ribbon: Primrose Petal Stitched Satin

Annabelle Sweet Melon made like Lou!

Hi,
I am so excited to enter my first card into the Tiddly Inks challenge. I found this site a couple of months ago and purchased a few digital images and have been following the site to get some tips on colouring up the images. Today was a public holiday in Victoria so it gave me plenty of time to play and a 20% off sale at a local scrapbook shop sealed the deal! LOL

Anyway the challenge is to "Make it like Lou" layout, colours, image any thing you choose so I decided to go with layout.

Here is my card using the very cute Anne Belle Sweet Melon: (sorry the picture came out a bit dark)

The papers are from Imaginisce and I used the coloured spots on the background piece to choose the matting colours. Stampin' Ups! Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Polk Dot Parade SP in Marina Blue match perfectly.
 Pro Markers are still fairly new to me although I have had them for a few years I don't pull them out too often because I always tend to SU! stuff instead.



Pro Markers used:
Dress                       Skin                                           
Bright Green           Satin                                      
Forest Green           Dusky Pink                                      
Holly                       Sunkissed Pink        
Mandarin                Soft Peach-cheeks     
A  mber
Hair                        Watermelon;
Caramel                  Carmine
Tan                          Ruby
Mustard
Buttercup

A couple of Prima flowers with SU! Designer Neutrals buttons, a sentiment from Pursuit of Happiness stamp set and some cute hat pins that I coloured with my Pro Markers to match the card and the card is finished. I had so much fun making this card, I hope it is worthy of being in the Tiddly challenge! LOL
