Sketch Saturday #727 – Opt Make it Masculine

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

This is a great skecth for a masculine card as it lends itself to using different types of DSP for each layer, which is exactly what I did using Stampin Up ‘Come Sail Away’ DSP with a sentiment and anchor from the ‘Go Overboard’ MFT stamp set. I added some gold glitter to the anchors and some twisted twine as the finishing touch.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at Sketch Saturday have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Friday, 9th June (AEST) Australian Eastern Standard Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

AAA Birthday #50 – Water Colours

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

Using water colours on my cards is one of my favourite techniques. For this card I had a die cut hummingbird in my stash that I decided to water colour behind and pop up over a black frame.

AAA Cards #241 – Hot/Cold Drinks

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

At the moment I’m enjoying some old fashioned milkshakes and decided to add one to my card. I used a new stampset from Stampin Up called ‘Share a Milshake’ inked up in Strawbetrry Slush and Pink Pirouette inks. The matching dies made it super easy to pull this card together.

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

Just Add Ink #652 – Just Add a Sketch

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I recently got this adorable DSP from Stampin Up called ‘Zoo Crew’ that has the cuteset critters that fit perfectly inside one of my circle punches. I punched out the juggling koala, matted him on a punched circle of Pool Party cardstock and then popped him up over a black and white chevron panel. The sentiment is a super old one that I can’t remember it’s name!

Sketch Saturday #725 – Opt use a floral image

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

Rather than add DSP for those 2 vertical panels, I decided to score a series of lines. I then stamped and die cut some flowers from the Stampin Up set ‘Two Tone Flora’ using Altenew inks in olive, purple wine and puffy heart. I added some pearls to the centre of the main flower and a sentiment created on my laptop and my card was done.

AAA Birthday #49 – Balloons

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

For my card, I used a super cute stamp set from Close to my Heart called ‘Balloon Animals’ inked up in a variety of Altenew inks (I did a littlw bit of sponging on the edges for some depth). I added some twine for the strings and a sentiment created on my PC.

AAA Cards #239 – Choose a Side

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

This was a hard one for me as I love both colour combinations, but I finally settled on the cold colours (I am a sucker for greens!). I recently bought some gorgeous collage paper from Tim Holtz ‘Entomology’ which I coloured with Altenew inks in bamboo, grass fields, galactic stream, sapphire, deep iris and ultra violet. The sentiment is from Uniquely Creative.
