Friday Sketchers Challenge #58


Hi guys..yes I know..you would think that as I'm at home all day at the moment that I would be out there enjoying the sunshine, the thing is, I got a bit toasty yesterday so thought I would have a break and do some cards..I trawled 'Blog World' and came across Friday Sketchers Challenge and as it was a fab sketch I had to have ago...

.... Do go and have a look at the great DT's cards. I used a Gorjuss one and I thought she went well with the DP's which are Basic Grey Wisteria..just loving these..I coloured her with primas pencils and sansodor and tried to give her a 'tied dyed' look!!! Thought I would let the papers speak for themselves and kept it simple..just added some punched flowers with white cherry blossoms in the middle and a few dew drops. I touched up her boots with Glossy Accents and gave her some bling in her hair.
Hope you all are keeping cool!!

Stamping for the Weekend Challenge - Week 3 - Rock 'n Roll 60's



*** Edit*** This is my chosen card to be considered for a member of the design teamor a guest designer.
many thanks
Jan ****

Well...when I first saw this challange I thought ..nah can't do that!! This week the guys over at Stamping for the Weekend would like you to use the following song titles as inspiration, ~ A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum ~ Time of the Season - Zombies or ~ Please Mr. Postman - Marvelettes ~ (just the titles not the lyrics) but when I saw the fab DT cardshere I just had to have a go. Which one did I choose? lol...yep you got it - Whiter Shade of Pale...well it should be cream shade of pale but hey!! I used my favorite little cutie Ketto Agnes by Stamping Bella as I thought she was delicate enough to give this creation the look I wanted..DP's are Pebblesinc. I used Punched flowers with paper roses which I dusted with Shimmer paint and sizzix leaves. I tied tulle on the ribbon as I wanted a light and airy feel and added sparkle to Agnes. I hope I did the classic tune justice!!
Regards

Truly Scrumptious Challenge #9


Hi All...this is my entry for this weeks Truly Scrumptious Challenge. There is a lovely sketch to follow plus they want to see altered flowers, why not pop over to check out the DT'S cards herethey are wonderful as ever.

Now my card...yes I know its June but isnt this the time of year when we start making our Christmas cards? At least its a cool theme as its going to nice and warm next week. I made a square card as I just cant do anything else!! lol so I hope that it is allowed. Lovely Tilda with Bell has been coloured with Prismas and sparkled. The DP is Forever Friends and the flowers have been altered into 'flower flakes'..lol. I punched and spotty embossed them, then chalked with shimmery blue. The middle snowflakey bits are from K & Co and have to say that whoever put them together needs new glasses as all the gems were off centre and I had to take them off and reposition them!!..lol finished with a bit of ribbon and sentiment from Craftworks and of course a bit of bling..Thanks for dropping by...

Sizzix leaves, Punched flowers and some summery gingham ribbon from stash completes the look. Your comments would be great!!
