Sketch Saturday Challenge

Hi,

Just a very quick post today to show you the card I have made for the Sketch Saturday Challenge.

I printed off the sketch and thought it looked quite a good one to do so made my card but was a bit disappointed with it. I was even more disappointed when I went back to the website and looked at the sketch properly and discovered that I should have used two lots of paper for the background. What is the matter with me?? It must be the thought of Christmas coming up so fast.

Last year it took me forever to make my cards so I thought that this year I would start early - and have I? No!

The stamp is a new one that I have just got and I have used my new Martha Stewart Punch and threaded ribbon through it.

Hope you like it more than I do!!

Have a lovely weekend. We have rugby tomorrow and then I hope my hubby is taking me off on Sunday seeing as we have a day to ourselves.

Purple, Aqua & White....

.....these are the colours to be used for the Colour Create Challenge.

I had already stamped this little Milton bear

and started my card following a sketch from another challenge when I realized, as you do, that the image isn't one you can use on that challenge!!

So I adapted the layout and came up with this card.

The Snowflakes are from Marianne Dies and a Martha Stewart Punch and I have glittered them with Glamour Dust and added a brad and spacer.

The papers are downloads and I have coloured the image with copics.

It is a very miserable day here and I am just going to walk down to the rugby - but I doubt if I will get many photos if the rain keeps up.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend - I am looking forward to going to The Dome on Sunday - hope my hubby has some money for me to spend!!

Friday Sketcher meets Saturday Secret Crafter

Sorry but this is another quickie!!

I have just made this card tonight - it went together like a dream. Isn't it strange how you get cards like that and others take ages and you are not really satisfied with them.

I saw that the Secret Crafter Challenge was to do a card for a Wedding/Anniversary and thought I would use this die cut from Lili of the Valley. I then decided to follow the sketch from the Friday Sketchers Challenge. So here is the card.

I have to say that I really love it and I hope you do too.

luv

eileen
