Stampavie Group Challenge 2

Stampavie (the company who manufacture Sarah Kay and Rachel Anne Miller stamps) have a group over on Paper Craft Planet and the latest challenge set was another sketch (I do love sketch challenges........lol).

Here's the card i made.............

On the sketch the ribbon was along the bottom and the sentiment down the side but i wouldn't beable to fit it that way on this card so i swapped them around.

The papers are BG Boxer. Used my crop-o-dile to make the wholes and set the eyelets. Ribbong and metal sentiment from stash. Image was coloured with distress inks (again......lol).

Thanks for looking. x

Sarah Kay - Time for apple pie

Well i have to say that the new Sarah Kay stamps are gorgeous. I have managed to find some time to make this card for the challenge over at the Stampavie group on PCP. The challenge is a sketch (I love sketches as the layout is the part that takes me the longest).

I have used BG granola papers - they are so lovely, and i've coloured the image with distress inks. It's the first time i have used these inks to colour with and i'm pleased with the results they give. I have been practicing a bit with the inks but decided to go for the first one i done so it would be special to me (as i hope it will be special to the friend that receives it).

Thanks for looking. x

Ooops........forgot to post!!

After sussing out how to schedule posts you would think i would start to get myself organised!! I just can't believe how quick the days go and i've been really busy lately sourcing new stock for the shop, sending orders, making cards for DT commitments, family, work etc etc.

I have forgotten to post my DT card for last saturdays sketch saturday challenge, so thought better late than never.........lol.

Supplies used:
Paper - Cosmo Cricket Love Notes
Lace from stash
Prima Flowers
Stamp - Sarah Kay
Metal embellie - Making Memories.

Thanks for stopping by. x

Sketch #16 - 13th September

Sorry for the short post but thought i'd quickly blog my sketch saturday DT card.
This was a great sketch but for some reason i struggled a bit with it. I kept trying to add a bit more detail for dimension but everything i had didn't look quite right. I think i must need some more stash!!..........lol. Anyone who knows me would laugh at that as i have more stash than i care to admit!!

Sketch #14 - 30th August

First off i would like to say thanks to Jo for choosing me to be part of the DT for sketch saturday *Woohoo* - I am so excited i was chosen as there were so many talented ladies that entered.

Here's my DT card for the sketch:

The card itself was quick to make and as soon as i saw the sketch i knew exactly what stamp and papers i wanted to use. But when i decided on the papers (and cut it all out) i realised i had no flowers to match them so decided to make my own!! It was a bit of a trial and error process but i'm quite happy with the end result.

Supplies:
Papers - New basicgrey offbeat collection
Metal embellishment - making memories
lace - from stash
ribbon - papermania
stamp - Sarah Kay, stamped in impress ink and coloured with copics
Nestabilities - rectangle classic and scalloped
Flowers - made from PP and held together with rivets using a bigbite and brads in center to secure to card.

This card cost me a fortune to make as i pinched most of the supplies i used for it from my shop, but surely thats one of the perks of the job.......lol, and most items such as nestibilities and the stamp will be used again and again!!

Thanks for looking. x

Sketch #13 - 23rd August - also DT members wanted!

Woohoo!! I am posting my cards in the right week..........lol. I made these cards the other day. For the first one i used some new papers from the basicgrey range Eva - loving these papers. The second was made with some left over christmas paper from last year. I'm not really happy with the christmas one but my excuse is that i just can't get in the christmas spirit till late November........lol.The 'merry christmas' tags look awful in the photo as there is glitter over the text but honestly it looks much better in RL.
