Retro Rubber Challenge #68..Colour Me..

Hey,

This time with a card!!!

Yes, it is time for another fun Retro Rubber challenge - today is also my Ma's birthday - Happy Birthday Momma!

This time we have a colour / photo inspiration challenge for you -

I love Paper Smooches Best Buds set, I use it a lot, I have had it since January 2016.

I kept my whole card super simple, two stitched oval die-cut panels, one in red gingham to match the photo inspiration. I stamped and die-cut the banner from the Best Buds set, the sentiment is also from the set.

I coloured the banner using Promarkers and a clear Wink of Stella pen.

I am really happy with it's understated elegance, perfect for a thank you card.

Show us what the photo inspires you to make, but first pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things that the rest of the DT have made.

Challenge ends August 11th. Don't forget to use a stamp over a year old and tell us the age of it, that is part of the fun of our challenge and please only enter 10 challenges including Retro Rubber.

Sketch Saturday #470 Beautiful Self...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun sketch for the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Our sponsor this week is AMB. Here is the sketch - 

I used the Seahorse from the Mermaid set...I am fascinated by Seahorses!

I love the sketch, it was so much fun to work with. I went with all blues for my background and supporting elements, really helped to make the Seahorse pop!

I die-cut the Seahorse panel using an MFT stitched oval die and the corrugated blue card was cut with a scalloped oval die by Sizzix.

I went for blue sparkly washi tape for my stripes and I am glad I did as it makes the card all twinkly. You can also see how shimmery the Seahorse is as I went over him with a Wink of Stella pen. The sentiment sticker is by Tim Holtz. 

Again a very simple but fun card.

Your turn to show us what you make with the sketch, but first check out what the rest of the DT have made over at Sketch Saturday.

Challenge ends 7 July 7pm GMT / 2pm EST

Sketch Saturday #462..You Are So Sweet...

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Sketch Saturday, to kick off the month of May. Also I am super pleased that we are welcoming my Craft Buddy and one of my besties JT, as our GDT for the month - yay!

Our sponsor this week is Paper Nest Dolls and they are offering a prize of 3 digis from their store.

Here is the sketch.

I went with Cupcake Emma, I really liked her boots :) I coloured her with Promarkers, fussy cut her out and mounted her with foam pads.

JT recently gave me a great textured paper pack by Dovecraft and I used a pink sheet for the background panel and die-cut my stitched ovals (by MFT) out of a blue sheet. I love textured paper.

The sentiment was a freebie with a magazine last year and the gorgeous pink bling was from JT.

I accidentally ended up with a bright candy coloured card, love it!

Show us what you can do with the sketch.

Check out what the rest of the DT have made over at Sketch Saturday.

Challenge ends 12 May 7pm GMT / 2pm EST
