Feeling Sketchy #72

Hi Guys,
I hope the team over at Feeling Sketchy are giving you plenty of inspiration to make some cards....I know I definitely need it!! Spending time in my scrap room just isn't very high on my priority list ATM so I apologise in advance for the very simple cards I have been turning out of late, although I do like the simple look too. I have used a glitter printed card stock that I have had in my stash forever and thought it matched up nicely with the new in colour from Stampin Up! called Baked Brown Sugar.

As you can see I have left this card very clean and simple but managed to get some twine in there in honour of our sponsor Whimsy Farm Twine.




This is a great sketch to play along with so please pop over to Feeling Sketchy and enter our challenge...there are always great prizes to be won and this month is no exception.

Feeling Sketchy #70

Hi there, It's time for another Feeling Sketchy challenge and this weeks sketch looks like this:

Once again I have used an image from our sponsor Sassy Design Studio and coloured her using mt Pro Markers. This is such a great image to colour with so many options. Check out the gallery on the Sassy website for ideas. 

Anyway here is my card, nice and bright:

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.

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.
