Feeling Sketchy Week 37

Hi there, I don't know about you but one week just blends into another at the moment. Today I actually managed to spend a bit of time in my craft room and for once my mojo came with me LOL!

Jess D has come up with another great sketch for us to play with this week at Feeling Sketchy

I have used all Stampin Up! products on this card including a sneak peek at an up coming promo stamp and punch set but you will have to wait to hear about that. I took the colours from the butterfly paper and went with that. I hope you like my entry this week.

I really enjoyed making this card, I am so over Christmas cards!

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.
