PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - SKETCH #34


Hi! I do love a good sketch and PTW never fails :)

I'd been wanting to make a card with this image and this week's sketch was the perfect oppotunity. I bought him because he reminded me of my two boys who are game mad!!!and thought he would come in perfect for their bday card's this year. I'm really into the CAS style at the moment and think it always works well for male cards.


Products uesd;

IMAGE - TGF Twinkle tots - Max

COLOUR MEDIUM - Polychromos pencils

PAPER - American crafts

SENTIMENT - Craftwork cards

LADYBUG TILDA


Me again!!!Second post today,not sure what's wrong with me my Mojo is on fire lol...well that's for you to judge really :)

How cute is Ladybug Tilda???As soon as she arrived I had to colour her up and for some reason I felt an urge to do her in purple and orange to match these gorge dcwv paper's from the nana's nursery stack.I've got quite a few nestability sets and feel I don't use them as much as I could... so I've been trying to make cards where I can incorporate them as much as possible.What do you think of my new style of card???.I'm really liking it :)


I'm entering it into the following challenges...







Products used;

IMAGE - Ladybug Tilda

COLOUR MEDIUM - Polychromos pencils

PAPER - DCWN Nana's nursery stack

SENTIMENT - Papermania ccsr set

EMBELLISHMENTS - Circle & Heart nestabilities and Handstitching.


Thanks for stopping by again!!!

QUIXOTIC CHALLENGE #12 - I BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!


Evening bloggers!Hope you're all well?...my cold is finally going but I now have a bad back :( was lifting something and stood up too quickly and well OUCH!i'm really starting to feel old lol

Today's card is for this week's QUIXOTIC CHALLENGE which is 'I believe in fairies'.I've used one of my fave C.C. Designs stamps, Liesel and her wheelbarrow which I have coloured with Polychromos.I've kept the card quite simple using only coloured DCWV cardstock...thought i'd challenge myself to make a card without patterned paper (which i absolutely love using on my card's) and it was'nt so bad lol... not sure how soon i'll do it again though!I've used ribbon from hobbycraft,MS heart punch,Papermania CCSR sentiment and a little handstitching.

Well enjoy your evening and thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :) xx
