Freshly Made Sketches #484

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Love me a sketch challenge and this one that the fabulous Amy O’Neill has created is amazing! Make sure you pop over to Amy’s blog to see her wonderful creations.

I chose to create a birthday card for one of my great nieces who is turning 2 soon. I have coloured these cute puffins from the Party Puffins Stamp Set. They are so cute and probably a stamp set that I wouldn’t normally buy, but because of their total sweetness, I had to have it.

I gave them some colour with my blends and then fussy cut them out. I added a cake and lil fishy images from the same stamp set to add some more fun to her card. The sentiment I’ve layered on the card is also from the Party Puffins Stamp Set. I can’t wait to give it to her now, once I buy a pressie that is……

The team have created awesome cards using Amy’s sketch. Pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is for you to:

This challenge had me scratching my head as I don’t have many sets that have magical creatures in them. I had to find an old retired stamp set called New Wonders Stamp Set. This set has images of fairies that would work well for journals. Perfect challenge for me to create journals for my great nieces to go with their Christmas presents!

I personalised these journals using the Playful Alphabet Dies. The first journal has Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape colours. The designer series paper I’ve used on both journals is from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper pack. I’ve cut Pool Party Cardstock trees with the Pine Woods Dies to create a scene for my fairies. Journals are a great way to use of tons of current and retired ribbons to jazz up the spine of the journals.

I created a Magenta Madness and Melon Mambo coloured journal for my second niece with Pool Party trees and gold gems for that bit of bling that little girls like. Not only little girls – I love me some bling too!

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects using the brief for this challenge. Head over to Just Add Ink and take a look.

Thanks for stopping by.

So I might have strayed a little from the sketch but if you squint your eyes a bit you can almost make out a kind of oval out of the stars 😉

I have gone with a shaker card as I think it worked well with the sketch.  Since I took this photo I have pulled apart my card and added way more sequins – it was kind of lacking in sparkle!
