A sketch this week, used my new gorjuss girl stamp, coloured with promarkerd, matted and layered onto Nestie labels, used the versamark and chalk technique to make the blue patterened paper - not done this in ages - so used the same tech on anothe challenge card too! made a ribbon border from rope border punch and chalked to co ordinate, haven't added text yet nest to image as not sure who or what i'm goint to use it for x

Penny Black Saturday challenge

The challenge this week was to stick to a recipe:- 3 flowers, 2 papers and 1charm/brad

Never been quite sure of this stamp but hink it works okay with this layout. Think it meets the reuirements - 2 papers, image coloured with distress inks, 3 flowers cut with cuttlebug die, in matching papers and with gems in centre, PB sentiment, green ribbon with 1 metal love heart charm which say made with love.

Sketch Saturday #51

This is my card for the Sketch Saturday Challenge. I have followed the sketch and used papermania papers. I stamped teh flower embellies with 2 of the flowers from the claire curd signature range - the sentiment was a magazine freebie. The image was one of my new fairy doodles stamps, coloured with copics/promarkers and matted and layered on circles cut wiht Nesties.

Sketch and Stash Challenge #10

this is my entry for this weeks Sketch and stash challenge - the new item from my stash is the magnolia stamp and the anna griffin pink background paper. Created the black piece by using versamark on an imagination stamp and dusting all over with black chalk - it gives it an almost flock like appearance - hope it fits the bill xxxx
