Sketch Challenge

So it was my turn to set the sketch challenge on the Charmed forum for July. The challenge runs for one month and we can of course make as many examples as we like. Here is my first card:

Sarah Kay stamp Best Friends Forever coloured with Copic markers - Prima lace corner - Tim Holtz ticket - Prima roses - Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage papers - Prima Pearls. I glittered with Stickles and glamour dust.

Martha Stewart Loop corner punch on pink panel. The brown border was created with a MS edge loop punch.

Here is my sketch:

Hearts - and yep! I'm losing it!

OK so Saturday I was going to make a card for our digi challenge on Sunday, and indeed I did just that. The challenge was set by our lovely Gunn and she wanted to see HEARTS! Of course being a Charmed digi challenge the most important part was one of our own download images! I had a stack printed and stamped images and was sifting through them looking for one to use. I duly coloured in the one I chose and created my card. Only when I had finished did I realised I had failed the challenge by using a Sarah Kay stamp instead of one of the Charmed digi images. DOH @ ME big time!!! I hid away in the corner until now LOL Please do pop over to Dottie's World and join the challenge (but remember that Charmed image please).

I used my Martha Stewart Hearts Deep Edging punch for this one; first time I've used it and it's FAB! Love it.
Also on the front is Prima Lace for the bow, you can't see it here but I lightly covered parts of the bow in clear adhesive and added some crystal glamour dust - BlackPrima Crystals - Fancy Pants rub-on - Large Crinkled Roses which I sprayed with Old Lace Glimmer Mist - K&Co Sweet Talk Pearls and Red heart crystal - "I heart you" is from the reverse side of the Bo Bunny paper. I glazed the hearts that was part of the design on the paper on the front with Glossy Accent.

The paper is Bo Bunny Persuasion and perfect for Valentine and other romantic occasions. It is double-sided and I used one side for the front and the textual side to cover the inside. I cut both the heart on the front and the two inside with Nestabilities dies. The large chipboard flower inside is a Basic Grey Sugar Rush chipboard around which I wrapped some red fibre.

And the image alas is a Sarah Kay stamp which I coloured in with Copic markers.


Thanks for visiting the Charmed corner of the Web :-)

Spring is Back..

Would be nice to completely bypass the winter (except we would still want Christmas!), but it's not the season spring that's back - it's a stamp from the Sarah Kay range, called "Spring is back", which I used on the card I am showing you today. We stock both everyday and Christmas stamps by Sarah Kay, you can find them here.

I love the quality of the Bo Bunny ranges and the paper I used for my background is from their Flutter Butter range.

I decided to decorate the inside too this time.

Gives a different quality to the card when it's decorated inside I think, and the card feels much more substantial when handled.

Other products used:
Image: Sarah Kay "Spring is Back"
Papers and CS: Bo Bunny Flutter Butter "Willow". Plain AC cardstock. Basic Grey paper
Embellishments: Lace - Petaloo Flowers - ATB Epoxy Brads - Habico Pearls - K&Co jewels - K&Co adhesive border - Petaloo Flowers
