Sketch Saturday #754 – 5th Saturday – Pick from the archives

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and being the 5th Saturday in the month, we ask you to delve back into our sketch archives and pick a sketch that speaks to you!

For my card, I went back to June 2020 for Sketch #615. I had a strip of DSP in my scrap bin which was perfect for this sketch. I paired it with other colours from the DSP to create my layers. For the circle elements, I used some vellum and added crystal effects ontop to given them dimension and shine.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see what sketch inspired you. 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, 12th July (AEST) Australian Eastern Standard Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

AAA Cards #268 – Sketch

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

I sponged a series of different sized circles using my Altenew inks and then stamped one of the girls from the Visible Images set ‘hip hop girls’ and popped the panel up on an orange cardbase. Love how simple this was to make but effective with the different coloured circles.

Just Add Ink #707 – 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 thought the cut away circle area would be a great spot to highlight a Christmas element. I used some old Christmas DSP, added a coloured elf from the MFT’s ‘Santa’s Elves’ stamp set with a sentinment from PTI’s ‘Rustic Wreath’ stamp set. The DSP was looking a bit flat, so I added some blue stars.

Sketch Saturday #753 Opt twist non-traditional holiday colours (any holiday)

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

I opted for a monocrome look for my card. I used a pre-made office tag, added some water coloured and fussy cut flowers in place of the sketch square, embossed my background panel with a dotty embossing folder, added some twine and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative and my card was done.

AAA Cards #267 – Anything CAS goes opt twist masculine

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

I used a couple of old retired stamp sets for my card – Stampin’ Up ‘Enjoy the rhythm’ and Reverse Confetti ‘Inner Rock Star’. I coloured the guitars with my SU Blends in Lemon Lime Twist and added them to a white panel on a Lemon Lime Tiwst card base. I added a few green gems for balance.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #705 – Just Add a Fancy Edge

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

I used my floral stamp to make my fancy edge. I stamped the SSS ‘Beautiful Flower’ near the edge of my card base, coloured it with my Stampin Blends in Pretty Pink and Old Olive, then fussy cut the edge. I’m really happy with how this came out. I added some grey cardstock to the inside of the card the help highlight the flower image.

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

You know me with a sketch, I tend to flip them and that’s what I’ve done here! U sed some pre-coloured and cut flowers for my oval element and then some yellow and white bakers twine for my criss crossing element and a tiny sentiment popping out from my flowers.

AAA Birthday #62 – Cute

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

I have a niece who’s got a birthday coming up soon and she loves all things unicorn, so this was a perfect challenge theme to make her a card.

I used Pinkfresh Studi set ‘Magical Unicorn’ with it’s matching dies to make the face of my unicorn and a sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Be a Unicorn’.
