Hey Everyone

It’s already Wednesday again – I can’t believe how quickly the weeks are flying by.  Our sketch hostess at Freshly Made Sketches is the wonderfully talented Amy O’Neill. If you aren’t a frequent visitor of Amy’s blog then you need to be, as she creates the most amazing cards and combines colours like no other.

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 😉

Our team has created wonderful inspiration for you so head over to the blog and take a look at their cards. We would love you to play along.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #189

Hey Everyone

It’s my turn to host this weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I’ve gone for layered shapes for my design – sorry Jen B, it has a circle on it!

I’ve been thinking I am well overdue for a man card. So for my card I’ve used Stampin’ Up!s Open Sea and paired it with a sentiment from Petite Pairs.

Just Add Ink #262

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge.  Take a look at these great colours:

I came up with something different than I normally do – I created a scene with a Stampin’ Up! stamp set that is new to me – Moon Lake.  To get the reflection of the boat in the water I stamped the boat image onto a window sheet and then pressed it down onto the cardstock. I created the water by sponging Pool Party ink onto the cardstock and the sky by dulling down the Pool Party ink on a piece of scrap first.  To get a bit of a sunset glow I sponged Calypso Coral lightly on the cardstock. I then used my blender pen to colour the tree and boat.  I used my white gel pen to draw in the little waves.  I love this sentiment from Butterfly Basics – I think it really finished off my card.

I love how the design team have created very different cards to inspire you.  Head over to Just Add Ink and check them out.

Thanks for stopping by.
