Feeling Sketchy #62

Hi there,
How excited am I! This is my first post as a Design Team Member for Feeling Sketchy, so I hope I inspire you to come and play along. This month sponsor is Lucy Sunshine Stamps and Heather is generously giving the June winner a $20 voucher to spend at her store. Pop over and check out her awesome digi and goodies.

I have made my card using Emily- Spring Ladybug Digi Set and I think she is just adorable. She is coloured with my Letraset Pro and Flex Markers but I must say...those pleats! OMG

Now it's your turn, here is this weeks sketch to follow I would love to see what you come up with.

Remember every entry gives you a chance to win the monthly prize draw.

I love to read your comments so please share the love and let me know what you think.

Hi

Well the move has happened, the craft suff is unpacked. I am still getting used to the new and different space I now have to work in but hey, I'm making cards and that is all that matters! LOL

Just wanted to drop in and let you know I am still here....somewhere.......and stay tuned for my new role as a Feeling Sketchy Design Team member. Oh, did I forget to mention that bit?? That's right my pleading to 'pick me, pick me' worked lol, i was invited to join the DT on Feeling Sketchy so instead of entering the challenges myself I will now be trying my best to inspire YOU to enter the challenges.

Look out for my post tomorrow and come play along. Until then happy creating.

Feeling Sketchy #55

Well this might be my last post for a couple of weeks. My craft room is about to be packed up ready for a move, so not sure when I will have it all organized and ready for creativity again. Not tooooo long I hope!
This weeks sketch at Feeling Sketchy is a nice and simple one so I have kept my card just that, nice and simple! I wanted to use the stamp block technique where you ink up a block and stamp it out giving you a  rustic background. Well on this occasion the block that I needed to use for the size I required didn't want to play nice so I had to compromise. After stamping with the block and not getting anywhere near enough colour that I was hoping to achieve, I masked the edges and added more colour with a sponge....happy! With the masks still in place I then stamped the delight flower and sentiment from Stampin' Ups! Blooming with Kindness set.
This is the out come:

The brown strips were swiped with a touch of white craft ink to give it that linen look that the background paper has. This is a quick but interesting technique to use.
This is the sketch

I hope you like my card......I don't know how I will cope with no card making for a couple of weeks but I will enjoy looking at everyone's lovely creations....if I get time. lol

Until then.....happy stamping!

Dragonfly for Feeling Sketchy

Hi Guys,
I haven't been able to get here much of late. There is a lot going on in my life ATM and challenges are the last thing on my mind, however, I miss it so here I am.

This is a quick card I put together for both the Feeling Sketchy Challenge and also my swap for my card group. The stamps are from Stampin Up! and the paper is from a pad I purchased at the recent Papercraft Show.

This is the sketch:

I hope you like my card. Sorry for the quick post! Hopefully in a months time things will settle down and I will be more in the mood for card making and sharing with you.

Nature Walk Sketch #51

Hi Guys,
A really quick post tonight to share my card for this weeks sketch at Feeling Sketchy.
I pulled out some Stampin Up! stamps for this one. Images are from Nature Walk stamp set which I have coloured up with distress inks. The background layer was stamped with a scriptive stamp from  Stamp It and the embossed in clear. I then coloured that up with Distress Ink as well. Over all a very pleasing effect.

I hope you like my card, here is the Sketch:

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog. Please leave me a comment because I love to read what you think.
