I am being very good and have been going through my supplies and trying to use them up instead of cutting into full sheets of papers. And I am actually enjoying it, finding all sorts of treasures, so I guess I am doing some spring cleaning to! So this card has been created from all sorts of goodies from my stash and the image has been coloured with Copics.

I added layers of patterned paper, a doily and some muslin to my card with some stitching to add some texture and interest. The papers are Cosmo Cricket 'Tea for Two', flowers are Wild Orchid and some bits and pieces from my stash.

The Sketchy Challenges #46

Another lovely sketch by Cordine, you can see the lovely DT's creations here.

The other day I needed a male birthday card and discovered I have heaps of pretty girly cards but not much at all for boys! So I decided to use this great sketch to create a boys card, I am sure it takes me longer to create boys cards but I am determined to make a lot more.

This darling pirate is a WOJ stamp and is part of the Spring Secret stamp kit.

The papers are Authentique 'Journey', some washi tape, a bit of twine, a charm and  a button to finish it off.

The Sketchy Challenges #43

We have another gorgeous sketch for you and this fortnight its by the lovely Jane, you can find her sketch here.

I created a card for a boy this time and I must admit I do find this somewhat challenging, I want add more but there is not much available for boys. But I inked up WOJ 'Mechanic Henry' and had some fun colouring him in.

The cute little WOJ car charm and WOJ 'You Are My Hero' sentiments made it a little easier to create this boy card! Papers are MME, I finished it off with some washi tape, twine and a button.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments, hope you can join us.

Time for another sketch, this gorgeous sketch is by the lovely Kathrin and you can find it here.

I just received this new lacy frame die and I love it, it comes with two swirls as well, you can find it at Lime Tart, it gives a perfect finish to my card.

The Sketchy Challenges #39

Wow...this month is just flying, it still feels like we celebrated christmas just the other day! So, I am already back with a new sketch at The Sketchy Challenges.

The awesome sketch is by the lovely Karen and I created a boys card with not one flower ;) This cutie is from this month's new release from Whiff of Joy 'I Love My Vespa'.

The papers are Authentique 'Bundle' and half way through this card I was starting to think it was too yellow. Even though I love yellow I decided to tone it down a bit by matting the pattern papers on dark brown cardstock, inked the edges with Distress Ink 'Vintage Photo', added a strip of gorgeous spotty grey washi and finished it off with a button and some WOJ button twine.

Did you notice the two new dies I used?

I just received them this week and I think they are awesome. First up is WOJ 'Arrows' and the die includes a variety of 7 arrows.

And the WOJ 'Banner' border die, adds just the perfect touch, especially to a boys card!

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments, please come and join us at The Sketchy Challenges.
