Sweet Sunday Sketch -#81

Hello again everyone. This was the second card that I made while skyping with Sherry lol. I really loved this sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketches and enjoyed working with it while chatting away. It was not how I originally wanted it to be but you know how it goes lol.

This is the sketch we were to follow. . . .

This is my interpretation of the above sketch. I used some of my fav paper of course and the sentiment stamp is one I bought online recently and if you would like to know the brand just email me, but I so love what it says. My SU buttons just happened to be a perfect match for the lace that I chose how was that. All cardstock and stamp pads are from SU as was the 3/4 inch circle punch. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card and if so please leave a comment so I know you have visited.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day with glorious beauty.

FTL #103

Hi everyone. Well for those that go between Sherry's blog and my blog you will know that we skyped the other day and we only get to do this once a week now which is not enough in my book lol. We both made two cards and I honestly forgot to post my two creations yesterday lol. Too much study the day before and cranking out the assignment lol. So I did the Clean and Simple sketch this week and I like these sketches but I really struggle to stop lol and keep it clean and simple, just ask Sherry hehehe. So here is the sketch we were to follow. . . .

and here is my interpretation of the above sketch. I once again used my fav papers. The yellow ribbon was a gift with an order I made online. The sentiment is from SU as is the cardstock and stamp pads.

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog and if you did please leave a comment so I know you have been.

In the meantime. . . .

Oh Alice Challenge Chapter 26

Hi everyone out there in Blogland lol. Well it is another week and another challenge over at Oh Alice. This week we are to follow the sketch below to create our card. But before I get to my card I have to say that my entry for last week WON!!!!. I am so thrilled as this is the first time I have ever won a challenge even though I have done so many but also it is the first time I have ever actually won a prize, so my sincere thanks go to the design team over at Oh Alice for choosing my card as the winner. . . .thankyou so much ladies!

Below is my interpretation of the above sketch. . . .

I used Tim Holtz papers and SU cardstock for both the card base and the mats. I used another fabulous image from Alice in Wonderland. I love these images they are a little dark (as in how the artist portrayed it) but so much detail. Once again I used my watercolour pencils and an aqua brush to blend. Prima flowers once again. This card is so dark compared to my card of last week lol but I still love it. I have not put a sentiment on it yet as I will leave that until I need a card. I hope you have enjoyed visiting my blog and seeing my card this week.

In the meantime. . . .

Oh Alice Challenge Chapter 25

White Rabbit, White Gloves, White Wonderland. That is what the challenge is over at Oh Alice! this week. To create an all white card with the exception of your main image, everything including embellishments had to be white. I loved this challenge. I have been following the blog for a while but never did one of the challenges but this week was my week to complete it. As you can see by my card everything is white except for my main image which is Alice and the Red Queen. Your card does not have to include something from Alice in Wonderland but I wanted to and found some great vintagy type images so I used my Derwent watercolour pencils and an aqua brush to colour the image in. The ribbon, braiding and lace are from my stash. The white flowers are Prima E Line. I used the Swiss Dot and Victorian embossing folders. Now the card itself I cut on my Cricut machine from the Sentimentals cartridge which has some awesome card shapes and matching envelopes, I just love them. The cardstock and stamp pad are from SU of course hehe. The pearl brad in the centre of the flowers are from my cheap shop in town where you get 16 pearl brads for two dollars!!!! I bought 3 packs and I will go back for more lol it is a great bargain.

Okay I had better get back to my studying as I have an assignment due this Friday.

In the meantime. . . .

Sasya's Sketches #22

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday. It is now Sunday evening in my neck of the woods in Australia and I have had a lovely day crafting with my two daughters who came to visit without the grandbabies lol. This week over at Sasya's Sketches we were to follow the below sketch. . . .

So now you will find my interpretation of the above sketch. I used my brand new 8x8 paper pad from Making Memories for the Slice for the background paper and then I used Graphic 45 DSP. I used all SU cardstock, stamp pads and Butterfly stamp set as well as the leaf Sizzlit die. The flower I made myself using Prima E Line flowers.

Okay I hope you like what I have to show you today. Make sure you pop back tomorrow as I will have another card I made for another challenge.

In the meantime. . . .

All Things Unity - Sketch It Up

Hi everyone. Sherry and I have been playing on Skype this morning and we chose two challenges to work on. Playing with Sherry is one of the highlights of my week and we have so much fun. Sherry found this new challenge which I also liked so we both did our interpretation of it. The challenge blog is called All Things Unity. Why don't you pop on over and join in the fun. Below is the sketch for this week.

Here is my interpretation of the above sketch using of course Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper collection and I used my fav butterfly stamp set and matching punch from Stampin' Up! as well as Real Rust and Chocolate Chip stamp pads and Short and Sweet stamp set for the sentiment cut with the word window punch. So other than the DSP the rest of the supplies used were from SU my fav company for everything matching and coordinating. If anyone would like to purchase anything from SU please let me know but only customers from Australia . . .sorry!

Okay girls that is it for me today I will hold over the other card we made until tomorrow hehehe.

In the meantime. . . .
