Two cards, two challenges

Ages and ages since I have managed to do Friday Sketchers so here is my card. I have used an image from Daisy May and coloured her with Promarkers. The papers are from the Eerie paper pad by Basic Grey, am loving these.The little pumpkin charm is attached using some chain and jump rings. Flower, spacer, brad, chain and charm from stash.

This card is for the Truly Scrumptious sketch and I have again used one of the adorable Halloween images from Daisy May. I've coloured her with watercolour pencils but the paper wasn't the best for this so it's a bit patchy. The papers are again Basic Grey Eerie.
Must go now and upload the new Stampin Up! book for 2009/2010 to my blog. Lots of lovely new products to tempt us.

Truly Scrumptious/Spoonful of Sugar

The latest Truly Scrumptious challenge was a sketch and Flower Power. I used a High Hopes image of the cutest rabbit. He was watercoloured and then matted on a large oval cut from my new Nestabilities. These are my first set and I can see I will need more ;0)
The papers are from HOTP. You may be wondering where the "Flower Power" is? Well, it is very subtle with some flower gems and daisies on the strip of paper across the card. Hope that's enough to qualify. The sentiment is also from High Hopes.

The Spoonful of Sugar challenge this week was a fabulous sketch. It also gave me the chance to ink up one of my newest SN images, Rory. The papers are HOTP and some co-ordinating Bazzill CS. I punched the flowers from the same papers using my small Retro Flower punch and placed a black brad in the middle of each. I added some Zoomz along the top and then some dots of Stickles in accordance with the sketch. Rory is watercoloured using my Derwent Inktense pencils. I rounded the corners of the image and mounted him on foam pads.

Truly Scrumptious/Charmed card

The sketch aver at the Truly Scrumptious challenge is fabulous. I had to make a card for a friend's birthday. I also spotted a competition over on Charmed Cards & Crafts where you have to submit coloured images- I have downloaded the image from their website, isn't she sweet?
The papers are HOTP and the CS is Bazzill. I used my Scalloped Edge punch from Stampin' Up!, some sticky pink ribbon from Anita's and Primas with a pearl brad in the centre. The image was watercoloured with Derwent Inktense pencils.

In at the last minute

I made this card last night for the Truly Scrumptious challenge from last Wednesday so I hope I have entered in time. The challenge was to follow a sketch and also to have handmade buttons on your project. I used the gorgeous Urban Prairie papers by Basic Grey again and another Paperbag Studios stamp. I love this plate of stamps but still need to buy it. These images were very kindly stamped by a friend for me. I have coloured the image with Distress Inks(am liking the effect you get with them)
The buttons have been made using pink Bazzill CS. I cut little circles which are not perfect by any means, pierced little holes in them and threaded through some fine ribbon. I still have to add a sentiment but didn't have time to look for the stamp I wanted

Three cards/Three different challenges

The first card is for a new challenge Truly Scrumptious which you will find the link to on My Fave Blogs. This was a sketch challenge- my favourite kind. I used some papers from my stash which I am trying to use up- have no idea where they are from or who by. The image is another from the Whiff of Joy Spring Kit and is watercoloured with my Derwent pencils. I have used blue Bazzill for matting and layering, a couple of stick on gems and a Prima flower with a brad in the middle.

The second card is for this week's Whiff Of Joy challenge. You had to use a sketch and they are also looking for guest designers. I have used one of the images from the latest Spring Kit from WoJ and had a first attempt at colouring using Distress Inks. The paper is from my stash, the ribbon is Anita's and the sentiment has been mounted on papers punched using SU scalloped circle and circle punches.

Over on Sugar Sugar was a project to make a tag card. This is my attempt. The image is Sugar Nellie, isn't it cute? I have watercoloured the image using my trusty Derwent pencils. The main card is Bazzill and the patterned paper is from DCWV Glitterstack. I have matted the image on orange Bazzill and added a Bazzill blossom with a brad in the centre to the closure tab. Finally I glued some little embellies from my stash.
