Sketch Saturday #512.. Fred She Said.. You are the sweetest..

Hey,

Happy Saturday to you and welcome to the latest sketch for the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said and they are offering a $10 gift certificate to their store.

Here's the sketch...

I chose to use Daisy Cupcake, I always choose the images to fit the sketches.. it makes it a bit easier.

I've been all about the pinks and purples lately, so I decided to go yellow for this card. I printed the cupcake out and coloured it using Promarkers and Spectrum Noir sparkle pens.

As I was making this on Sunday whilst on my playdate with JT, I asked her advise on my choice of background paper and we settled on this pretty one by Stampin' Up. My circle dies are by Simon Says Stamp and Sizzix.

I used a piece of glittery tape for my banner and added the great sentiment by Clearly Besotted.

I love it, sadly you can't see how shimmery the cupcake is IRL.

I can't wait to see what you do with the sketch, but first check out what the rest of the DT have made over at Sketch Saturday.

Challenge ends May 11th 7pm GMT / 2pm EST.

Sketch Saturday #494..Tiny Santas...

Hey,

Happy Saturday to you and welcome to the last Sketch Saturday challenge of 2017..what a year it has been!

Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said Designs and they are offering a $10 gift certificate to their store as a prize.

Here's the sketch...

I loved the Little Fat Santa stamp and had this idea, of how to use it on my card...

So...to get the idea in my head to work, I had to print the Santa's pretty small, cue several Santa's recycled due to incorrect maths by me.. Finally I got them to be the size I wanted..but then I realised how small they were, colouring them was a BEAST. Note to self..tiny is not always best..

I created the fun dotty background using the Dotty Turnabout stamp by Concord & 9th..it's a bit tricky at first, but it's worth it as the results are so pretty. The smaller blue dots I added as I wanted smaller dots too.

Adding the sentiment and some stickles to the santa's were the final touches. I love how this came out, wish I had made a couple more!

I can't wait to see what you do with the sketch, but first check out what the rest of the DT have made over at Sketch Saturday.

Challenge ends 29th December 7pm GMT / 2pm EST

Sketch Saturday #482.. Simple Roses

Hey,

Welcome to the latest sketch for the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Our sponsor this week is Fred She Said and they are offering a $10 gift card for their store as a prize.

Here's the sketch..by me!!

I decided to use the Simple Roses image, I really loved the detail in the flowers.

I was pretty true to my own sketch LOL. But I went with a circle instead of a square, as I decided the Roses looked much better in a circle.

The whole card was so easy and simple, I embossed the pink panel for a bit more detail - the swiss dots embossing folder by Sizzix is my all time fave, I totally overuse it. For the sentiment I combined two different dies. The brown strips are actually from the card blank that I cut to size!! Waste not want not. I added two teeny tiny gems to the horizontal strip, I felt they were needed :)

This card has already left my desk and is winging its way to its new owner.

I can't wait to see what you do with my sketch, but first check out what the rest of the DT have made over at Sketch Saturday.
