Sketch Saturday #46

Hi Folks!!

Hope you are having a great Easter weekend and still managing to squeeze a bit of crafting and blog hopping too :o) Over on Sketch Saturday this week Jo has come up with another fabby Sketch. Clare Chanter who owns Thread Bare is sponsoring this weeks challenge, more details on the blog about the prize. It's also Broceliane's second week as our Guest DT. Be sure to check out her beautiful card and that of the rest of my fellow Designers.

I made this card for my buddy Christine Dark. Please join me in wishing her a HaPpy bIrThDaY today!!!! The papers for this card are by Imaginese. I punched a strip of vellum with my Martha Stewart punch. I think the ribbon was a freebie from a magazine. The cute Tilda is from the Spring kit. As usual I have chopped of the ladybirds antennae and replaced with curled wire ones. I coloured the image with my koi water colours. The flower and leaves are from my button box and have been adhered with dimensional glue gel. The sentiment is a Papermania sticker and I have finished the card off with some lush red self adhesive pearls. Not sure if you can see or not but I gave Tilda some eyelashes which help her to look ultra cute ;o)

Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #45 & a sneaky peek of Rosabella Flower

Hi folks!!

It's Sketch Saturday time again. This week is special as it's DT week and Tracie's turn to host. She has come up with a great sketch, and personally donated the fabby prize of two Penny Black stamps. Broceliane is our fabulous Guest Designer for the next two weeks. To see her gorjuss card and those of my talented fellow DT be sure to visit the challenge blog.

For my card I have used some yummy Imaginese papers, I just adore these soft colours and patterns. I have embossed the rectangle panel using my Cuttlebug. I punched another strip of vellum with the Martha Stewart Doily punch. I had fun stitching on some pink tulle and ric rac. I think you may be seeing lots more sticthing on my designs. Rosabella Flower will be available soon. I have coloured her using my Prismas, Koi watercolours and glitter for her wings. The leaves are a Woodware punch and the flower a little wooden embellishment I have has for ages (so nice to be using some of my ancient stash) I finished the card off with some pretty pink self adhesive pearls.

I've got a long weekend of work ahead of me :o(..... I'll be back soon with details of the new Kadoodle candy and the ,not to be missed, June Extravaganza at The Craft Barn :o)

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Hugs
