Sketch Saturday #38. Sponsors - 'The Craft Barn'

Hi folks!

Saturday has rolled around again and Jo had provided another wonderful sketch to play with over on Sketch Saturday. This weeks sponsors are The Craft Barn. I am thrilled to say that the winner of this weeks challenge will receive Dan & Daisy, both part of the Kadoodle range (which is exclusive to The Craft Barn) and both designed by me! I hope you like them :o) Please be sure to check out all the wonderful designs by my fellow DT, another mixed bag with inspiration for everyone.

I had a comic strip in mind when making this card. I wanted Daisy to be thinking about Dan ( like the comic strip thought bubbles) and of course she had a huge crush on him, hence the heart shapes and all the doodles.
The patterned paper is Hot Off The Press. The notepaper down the side I cut using a Sizzix die from cardstock. I doodled the Daisy & Dan messages onto it before adhering to black card using glue gel to add dimension. The blue circle is cut from funky foam using my Nestabilities. The heart and scalloped heart are from the Doodlebug Cricut Cartridge. I then embossed the white heart using my Cuttlebug. Both the characters have been coloured using my Koi watercolours. I finished the card off with tiny hand tied bows for Daisy's plaits, a button in the shape of an apple and some red gems.
This card took quite a while to make but I had a picture in my head as to what it should look like. I'm quite pleased with the results.
Hope you are able to join us in this weeks challenge.

Multi Challenges and more from Demo Day

Hi folks!
Here are more cards from the demo day I had at the Craft Barn last Saturday. For the Cowboy one I followed the sketch from the Sketch and Stash challenge. I thought the Sizzix belt and buckle were just the ticket for my little Cowboy Dan, from the Kadoodle range at The Craft Barn. The black & white paper is available at the shop and the white swirly hearts are made using my Cuttlebug. I have used the Go-Kreate alphabet, Amsterdam, and die cut letters out of funky foam for the sentiment. Cowboy Dan has been coloured in using Derwent coloursoft pencils and glitter.

It's too late to enter this challenge as they have moved on to the next week but I did follow the Cutie Sunday sketch #25. There is some movement on the card as the image is only held onto the card using the ribbon. The papers are DCWV and I have used my Nestabilities to cut the label shapes. My Clown, part of the Kadoodle range, has been coloured in as above and this time I have used the 'London' Go-Kreate alphabet for the sentiment.

These cards would fit in great with the Charisma Cardz Challenge which is to use Black & White and one other colour and also the Cute Card Thursday Challenge which is Valentines creations.

I HAVE BEEN TAGGED!!!!!

....by Jackie over on Pink Diamond Workshop.... thanks Hun!!!

The instructions are,

1. Navigate to where you keep your pictures, select the 6th folder, and the 6th picture in that folder.

2. Post the picture on your blog with an explanation about the picture.

3. Tag 6 others to do the same, and let them know they have been tagged!

And it's a picture of my eldest, Tommy. He was messing around that day and thanks to 'digi' I have about 30 shots of him posing and pulling all kinds of faces. I like this photo of Tom as the colours are quite neutral in it and I could go for any papers to make a scrapbook layout. Needless to say I have less opportunities for snapping Tom messing around in front of the camera now.... I suppose it's just not cool anymore.

I won't pass this tag on anymore as I think it's done the rounds. If you want to take it... be my guest.

Hugs
