A spoon full of sugar, Forever Friends & Sketch and Stash Challenges

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I've made a couple of cards today to fit 3 challenges. This first card is for the Sketch and Stash Challenge and A spoon full of Sugar Challenge. The Sketch and Stash sketch for the week is posted below. I really enjoyed this sketch so much so that I used it for my other card! The challenge over at Spoon Full of Sugar is to make a celebration card so this fits the bill on both counts.

The stamp I've used is by Paperbag Studio and I really love it as it's funky and quite graphic design-ish. The papers are all from my new stash by Basic Grey and I got them from Do Crafts last week as they've got a sale on. I really love the acidy colours. The jute is from Arty Miss (new) and I've played with my other new Martha Stewart punch from the Hobby House.

Here is a little close up!

Crafty stash used: Stamp (Paperbag Studio); Papers (Basic Grey); Punch (Martha Stewart); Sentiment (Elusive Design); Flowers (Poppicrafts and recycled); Jute (Artymiss)

Here is the sketch both my cards were based on- a great one from the Sketch and Stash team.

And here is my second card of the day and it fits all 3 challenges. This fits the Forever Friends Challenge which is to make a card for a "birthday boy", the Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge (celebration) and the Sketch and Stash Challenge cos I've used the sketch again!

The image, of course, is by Forever Friends and coloured in with watercolour pencils. I have paper pieced his crown. All the papers are from the Max set by Making Memories. Again I have played with my Martha Stewart punch and added a sentiment by Lili of the Valley.
