Sketch 'n' Stash

For this card I used a new item - my X-Cut corner rounder. What a brilliant punch this is! Perfect corners every time and no problem getting the card in the right position. I used it a lot on this card as you can see. The papers are from Papermania's Nostalgia Warm pad. For the image I used a 3d sticker I have had for some time. I added a ribbon and some Prima flowers too.

Penny Black Challenge - Sketch

What a cute hedgehog! I used some Brenda Pinnock papers on this card and Cuttlebug border embossing folders for the scalloped edge. The flowers are Primas.

Baby Wipes

Don't worry this is not a used wipe! I rubbed some Distress Inks over my craft mat then cleaned them off with the wipe, and left it to dry. Then I stuck one section to an ATC blank and stamped some Bo Bunny swirls on it in Brilliance Pearlescent Crimson. The image is a Crafty Individuals transparency attached to white paper. I added a Prima flower and a Papermania pearl brad. The word is a Tim Holtz 'Doo-dad'.

Forever Friends Challenge - A Sketch

I used Brenda Pinnock papers on this card, and matted the bear on the new Coredinations pearlescent cardstock - it's very smart indeed! I coloured the bear with coloured pencils. The purple flower is a Prima one and the white ones are new from Papermania.

Sketch and Stash #2

I went to a craft fair yesterday - and came home spoilt for choice as to what to use for this challenge. In the end I decided to use the Penny Black hedgehog stamp I couldn't resist (the bunny one I couldn't resist will be appearing on this blog very soon!) and the Spots and Dots Cuttlebug folder I bought (along with three others). I flipped the sketch over so the sentiment was on the left instead of right, and added some Prima flowers.

Sketch Saturday

This is such a lovely sketch that I had to try and get it done - it would have been sooner but I have not been well. I used a lovely Innovative Stamp Creations image for the centre of this sketch, and the papers come from Basic Grey's Urban Couture collection.

Penny Black Challenge - Embossing

I bought this stamp just before Christmas and I bought the Cuttlebug Divine Swirl embossing folder just after! The teddy is just so cute! I used a couple of Prima flowers to finish my ATC.

Sketch Saturday

I used some paper from My Mind's Eye Bohemia pad for the background. The central image is from a Crafty Individuals image book. I stamped a Paper Artsy frame stamp using four different colours. I used gold mirri card and some textured Coredinations paper for the little mats, and some Prima flowers in the corners.

House Mouse Challenge - Sketch

I used some Heidi Grace papers for this ATC, and a Prima flower. I added some glitter glue to the flower and edge of grey paper. I used a 'mirror image' of the sketch to get the flower into the top right corner.

My Time To Craft Challenge - Sketch

Thanks to Becky for setting this sketch for us! It gave me a chance to use some of the Heidi Grace papers I bought this week, and my Willow stamp. I used some textured paper for the backing, and two Prima flowers. I coloured Willow using Distress Inks.
