Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel: Magical Unicorn Birthday..

Hey,

During my recent trip to London, we visited Hubby's bestie so we could a) catch-up b) see her daughters and c) hand over the pun card project.

We had a fun afternoon with Polly and her Daughters.

One of them Maggie is 3 (soon to be 4) and took a shine to me - I do love kids, despite not ever wanting to have any I like to hang out with kids.

I thought to honor our little bonding moment I would make Maggie a special 4th Birthday card and I am also entering it into the current Seize the Birthday challenge - this a no toppings entry, I am going to play along later in the week with a toppings entry!

Obviously, I immediately reached for my reveal wheel kit. I have so many of the add-ons now, it is super fun to make cards with and EASY for an interactive card.

I decided to pair it with x2 Ellen Hutson sets 'Unicorns 'N Rainbows' and 'Over It' - I chose a wide arched aperture for the wheel and stamped the rainbow from Over it, over the top of the arch and then coloured that using glitter gel pens to get some serious sparkle.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut 3 of the images from the Unicorns set and after assembling the reveal wheel and mounting it onto the card blank, I affixed them to the front. I added some hearts from the sets all over the card and went over a few of them with a glitter gel pen to add some sparkle.

Because I chose the large aperture, you only get to reveal two sentiments and I went with magical and awesome.

Perfect for a 4 year old girl!

Sketch Saturday #504: Sasayaki Glitter..

Hey,

Happy Saturday.

Today we have another fun sketch for you from the Sketch Saturday team.

Our sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter and they are offering a prize of 1 digital stamp from their store.

Here's the sketch that just happens to be by me!!

I decided to use Tea Mouse, I have a thing for teacups and I thought it worked well with the sketch. I coloured it using Promarkers and fussy cut it out.

I discovered that cutting a semi-circle freehand was a BEAST. So I modified it slightly and made it smaller and the strip to the left longer AND rotated it.

The striped paper is by Lawn Fawn, the sentiment is by Unity Stamp Co. and everything else is random and from my stash! I think the flower bling came from JT eons ago.

Now it's your turn to show us your interpretation of the sketch. Don't forget to go over to Sketch Saturday and check out what the rest of the DT have made.

Challenge ends on Friday 16th March at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST.

Sketch Saturday #492 Christmas Flamingos..

Hey,

Happy Saturday to you, Hubby and I are landing in London as this goes live!!

Welcome to the latest sketch for the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Our sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter and they are offering a prize of 1 digi from their store.

Here's the sketch...

I love Flamingos, so when I saw the Winter Flamingos image it was an easy choice!!

I rotated the sketch and printed the Flamingo image onto a piece of stripey digital paper. My border is a very, very glittery piece of ribbon and instead of a bow, I used a gold glittery heart. I combined x3 sentiment stamps to create my sentiment, as I really wanted the word 'warm' in there!

To add to the extreme shine of my card, I added gold stickles here and there.

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 5 January 2018 at 7pm GMT / 2pm EST

Sketch Saturday #466..Dino Girl...

Hey,

Welcome to the first fun June sketch for the Sketch Saturday challenge.

Our sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter and they are offering a prize of 1 digi from their store.

Here is the sketch.

You know I love Dinosaurs, so when I saw Dino Girl...I had to use her, she is coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir sparkle pens.

I decided to pair her with digital papers by Pink Petticoat (sadly these ones are no longer available), the papers come in approx 30 colours, so super easy to co-ordinate. To bring it all together I die cut all the papers with stitched dies.

The sentiment is by Papermania and is one of the first stamp sets I ever bought!

I love Dino's, I can't wait to send her to someone.

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 9 June 7pm GMT / 2pm EST
