Sketch Saturday



Good evening crafty friends. 
Hope the day has been good to you. 
Not as busy today so found a little time this evening to have a little play for the sketch Saturday challenge. 
Liked this weeks sketch as it has lots of possibilities. Thought I'd use some of my stamped images that have been waiting a long time to be used. Decided on a visable image stamp that l coloured in quite a long time ago. 
Coloured with spectrum noir pens. The background was made with masking tape then covered with versemark and clear embossing powder.

Mothers Day Card and Envelope.




Hi crafty friends. 
Beautiful day here in London, hope it's good weather for you too. 
I am really enjoying my crafting lately, enjoying doing lots of different techniques, so I thought I would enter some new challenges, and try for a few Design teams. So I can share my ideas with others. 

Thought I'd share the Mother's Day card that I made my mum this year. 
She's not been very well for quite some time now so I made a card that I thought might brighten her day.  
Very happy when it brought a smile to her face. 
Inked background of with Tim Holtz distress inks, pickled raspberry, twisted citron and squeezed lemonade. Highlighted with a gold and white pen. 
Stamps used were designs by ryn and lavina stamps. 
Stencil in background was a sweet poppy stencil. 
Hope you like the card. 
I'm entering this project for creatalicious challenge. #90 Mother's Day. 

Little patch of crafty friends challenge #33 anything goes. 

Creative fingers challenge #108 anything goes.

Woodward owl card.

Good evening crafty friends.
Hope your having a good evening. 
I have been on the sketch Saturday web site this week. Was surprised to find I could pick from a variety of designs this week. I decided on design no 232. 
Thought I'd make a friends daughters card using this design. Made two as I was not sure if I liked the plain background on the first one. 
Been very busy with work for the last two weeks preparing for SATS. So used card stock from my stash. Coloured the Owls with spectrum noir pencils. 
Hope you like them. 


Have entered these 2 cards for sketch Saturday.
