Challenge 45 - Tiets Sketch

Well another day and another challenge card.  I seem to have neglected my blog over the past week this is mainly due to getting everything ready for Amy's funeral for Thursday, but just to keep me sane I have managed to make this challenge card as I loved the Sketch and the Autumn theme.


I definitely think I have achieved the autumn theme as I have manage to find some papers in the depths of my craft room called Abstract Prints which are from Dovecraft full of lovely browns, rich reads, warm oranges and yellows.


The card is an easel card with a difference, as I was over on the Score-pal website and found a little tutorial that was for an easel card with draws and I have been meaning to have a go at one of these for a while.  I think it is great for putting little chocolates in or small items of jewellery.  The draws were made out of the same paper that I have decorated the top of the easel in and the draw pulls are card candy.


I have chosen to use a pre-made sentiment from Craftwork cards which was originally white and because I wanted it to blend in with my card I have coloured it in with my mustard promarker which I thought worked quite well.


A closer look at the top of the easel card so that you can see the layout used.


The image I chose to use is called "Elise" and can be found here at funky kits.  I have coloured her in with my promarkers using Blush, Honeycomb, Oatmeal, Mustard and Poppy.


My final greeting that has been put on the outside of the easel card once again was not the right colour for this theme so I have coloured it in with my Mustard promarker again.  I cannot tell you where this greeting is from as I have had them for years and have only just started to use them.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and for any comments you may like to leave.

Happy crafting.

Challenge 44 - Lilians Sketch - Sugar Bowl

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge over at "The Sugar Bowl".  It is a lovely sketch by Lilian.


After sorting through all my Sugar Nellie stamps I decided to ink up the Manga Princess to make this card as it had never been used before and I do think she is sweet.  The card blank I have used is an Ivory one that has been distressed around the edges with the Spun Sugar Distress Ink Pad.  My papers are the free ones from Creative Card Making Issue 17 designed by Craftwork cards.


I have coloured the image with promarkers in the following colours, Skin & Hair in Sandstone and Blush, Headdress and Dress in Ruby and Rose Pink.  The distressing around the image has been done using the Spun Sugar Distress Ink Pad.  If  you would like to buy this stamp it can be found here.


The greeting is one Craftwork Cards and has been mounted onto pink stardream card after being cut using one of the small Petite oval circle nestabilities.


The pearls are by Mark Richards crystal stickers in 3mm Rouge and are curled freehand as they come in long strips (5 to a packet) and can be purchased from most craft shops.


Once again the flower is one of my own hand made flowers and you can find the tutorial on my side bar if you would like to make your own   The foliage has been punched using cream stardream card which goes well with the card.

Sweetie search - My Entry

Well after checking all of the challenges I usually enter, I spotted the post for the sweetie search and I must say I do fancy the job so here is my take on the sketch.  I do hope you enjoy looking at my card and good luck to everyone else who enters.

My biggest challenge for this card was to decide which image I should use (as I do have a few Stamps to chose from) and I finally decided to use "First Dance" part of the Home Grown collection and can be found here (Home Grown Collection - First Dance).



All the card used in this project is Stardream Card in Cream and gold.  I have made an easel card which is 14.5cm square.


The image was stamped with memento ink and has been coloured in with promarkers using Cool grey 5, cool grey 3, Cocoa, Black, Pastel Pink, Ivory and Blush.  Cuttlebug embossing folders used are Swiss Dots and Roses.


The flowers I have used are ones that have been hand made by me as I could not get the colours I wanted.  These flowers were coloured using the spice marmalade distress ink.  If you would like to make these flowers yourself please see the link on my sidebar for the flower tutorial.


The sentiment used is from The Greeting Farm and is included on their wedding set which I also think is called Happily Ever After.
