Sketch Saturday Challenge #35


OMG – how much did I enjoy colouring in this BEAUTIFUL image from Sugar Nellie?? I have wanted to get this stamp for ages – I’ve seen it used so beautifully on other people’s cards and so as soon as it was back in stock at Funky Kits, I ordered it. I have used my Marvy Pens – want to try Promarkers but until I can afford to spend a wee bit I’ll use what I’ve got!! The scalloped strip is done with my most treasured Martha Stewart punch and the daisies are a sizzix die. The pp is Basic Grey (Hannah from the Oh Baby Girl collection). This is my entry for the challenge over at Sketch Saturday this week. Check it out if you haven’t already, it’s great. Thanks for the sketch this week – I loved it and will definitley use it again.
Just also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has entered my blog candy so far. I can’t believe it’s gone over 100!!!

Paper Take Weekly Challenge – Shape Up!

I have been having a play with the new image stamps from Pink Petticoat – isn’t she sweet? She’s called Twinkle!! I have coloured her with my Mary pens and used some puffy stuff for her boa. This card is my entry for this weeks Paper Take Weekly challenge which is called “Shape Up”. You have to use three different shapes – I’ve got a square (card base) a rectangle and a circle. Thanks for looking and to anyone who has entered my blog candy. Good luck to you all.
