Friday Sketchers #56

It's been a while since I've taken part in a challenge and I did like the look of the sketch for this weeks Friday Sketchers, courtesy of Jeanette.

I was asked to make a card for a lady who is a Pampered Chef representative. The only stamp that popped into mind was my Baking Tilda. I went to one of these parties last year and, in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, purchased some pink products so I thought it only right that the main colours for this card are pink!

I'm really pleased with the colouring and shading on this image. I think I must have been sat there for about an hour getting it right! Very therapeutic.

Supplies;

Stamps: Baking Tilda - Magnolia; Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black & Copics

CS: - Core'dinations - Docrafts; Tools: Oval Nestabilities, Swiss Dots CB Folder, MS Lace Doily Punch

Embellishments: Flowers - Prima, Ribbon - Meiflower, Oval Sentiment - Craftwork Cards

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.

Happy Easter! - Friday Sketchers #47

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you get lots of yummy chocolate eggs to enjoy as it's the one day of the year we needn't feel guilty about eating it!

As I said in my previous post, I must try and start participating in a few more challenges so I thought "why not check out the Friday Sketchers challenge this week?" Jacqueline has come up with a fabulous sketch for us to follow and I couldn't wait to try it out.

I used the cute Hunny Bunnies from CC Designs that I got from Dies to Die For. I've coloured with copics before cutting out with oval nesties and mounting onto a scalloped oval. The base is made up of using a piece of last years DCWV Spring Stack pack and adhered to some pale blue bazzill basics card which I have also used for the strip across the top. I've cut the swirl from a Sizzix die (scribble swirl I think). The sentiment is from Elyzbells. I've finished off by adding some gemstones.

It's a bit different for me as I'm not used to using dp, but wanted to give it a go. I've tried to coordinate the colours on the paper with those that I've used to colour my bunny. Any tips on how I can improve would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by.

Friday Sketch #4

I have finally been brave enough to take part in the Friday Sketchers challenge! It's week number 4 and this weeks sketch has been provided by Heidi.

Edited to say that I have just realised that this card also qualifies for this weeks Cute Card Thursday Challenge as the task was to use patterned paper.

I have used one of my favourite Penny Black stamps, Lazy Days. The backing paper is from Papermania and is the Amethyst Fusion Creative Tones set. The flowers are from Prima and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I'm looking forward to my "Lazy Days" soon. Jon and I will be off to Skiathos is just under 4 weeks and I can't wait!! It's our 4th year going there and we just love it. The people are fantastic and the food is out of this world.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend.
