Friday Sketchers and Sketch Saturday challenges

I have made another two Christmas cards using the sketches from these challenges. The Friday Sketchers card has a lovely image from Whiff of Joy, coloured with Derwent Inktense. I didn't manage to make it in time to enter but thought I'd blog it anyway. The shimmery paper is from my stash and the ribbon is by American Crafts.
The Saturday Sketcher card image is by Paper Artsy.Paper and cardstock from my stash and the horizontal strip has been embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
Thanks for looking

Friday Sketcher's Challenge

I came across this challenge blog last week while bloghopping. I love working from sketches so I just had to join in. I have used a lovely Sarah Kay stamp and coloured it with Derwent Inktense pencils. This image has been matted onto some lilac Bazzill cardstock. I cut a square blank and matted some paper from The English Paper Company on it, leaving a small border all the way round. The image was them matted on to this. Using my cropadile I put four copper eyelets in place and threaded through a lilac gingham ribbon. The sentiment was placed on two pieces of lilac Bazzill. It's my sister's wedding anniversary tomorrow so this card will be perfect. I'll make sure to check this challenge out again.
