Totally Gorjuss 74 -Sketch.

Hi everyone, Saturday again and time for another challenge over at Totally Gorjuss. Thanks to everyone who joined us last week and what a lot of you there were! As this is the first Saturday in April we have another one of Net's great sketches and we are sponsored by the ever generous Joanna Sheen.

I used :-

Image :- Gorjuss Girl.

DP :- First Edition - Love Letters.

Sentiment & Card Candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Flower :- Prima.

Colouring :- Promarkers & Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

And some faux stitching.

I think this fits the challenge at Oldie but a Goodie which is pink/blue & brown. I've certainly had this stamp for a while. I've used her lots of times but she's been rather neglected recently. Another challenge where they want to see pink and brown is Everybody Art.

Hope you can join us this week again. If you pop over to Totally Gorjuss you can see what gorgeous cards my teamies have made to inspire you this week and also who won last week's challenge.

I'm working this morning and then I've got the whole weekend to myself plus Monday. It's a local holiday here and the Post Office is closed. Fantastic! Unfortunately we'll pay for it on Tuesday, but I'll enjoy it at the time.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll try to get round my favourite blogs later.

We would like to see stars on your card or layout. I'm afraid my stars aren't very big but they are there lol! I coloured the star she's holding and the ones in her hair with a Spica glitter gel pen and I used another one to make sparkly spots on her dress.

Totally Gorjuss 7 - Anything but a card.

Well girls it's Friday again and here we are with another challenge from Totally Gorjuss. This week we would like you to make "anything but a card." Following the new rules you can use any gorgeous girly stamp. But if you use a Gorjuss Girl you have two chances to win. This week our lovely sponsor is The Hobby House. So there you are - for your chance to win all you need to do is enter "anything but a card. Simple.

Ok I know this looks like a card but believe me it is a gift card holder! I made a gift card holder a while ago but I could really do with some more for my nieces and nephews.

I used the sketch from Sketch and Stash. Great sketch, really easy to use. My DP is DCWV rose tinted Christmas which I have had since last year. I coloured the lovely gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellies with my Promarkers. I used a House Mouse "To/From" stamp inside - I just didn't ink the House Mouse LOL!! I finished off with some lace, card candy a Martha Stewart snowflake and jewels. The corners to hold the gift card were cut out using a punch.

The other challenges I'm hoping to enter are :-

Cupcake - A gift card holder.

Have a nice weekend girls and hope to see you tomorrow.

Friday Sketcher No. 58

I'm really disappointed with this photo. It is really bad because I tried to take it at night and no matter what I tried I had to delete photo after photo! I really wanted to enter this challenge as I really liked the sketch and I had worked hard to make a nice card. So here it is.

I used one of my favourite Gorjuss Girl stamps from Sugar Nellies. I used my Nestabilities to cut out an oval and a scalloped oval and stamped her on the oval and watercoloured her. I used some of my favourite My Mind's eye papers. I inked round the edges of all the papers with blue. Flowers and brads from my stash. Thanks for looking. Kat xx

Sugar Bowl Challenge

This is my first attempt at a challenge for The Sugar Bowl, using Lilian's lovely sketch. I stamped and water coloured Flower Girl, one of my favourite Gorjuss Girls. I didn't have any "kraft" so I have used browns in the card. I chalked round the edges of the image with green and used a scalloped long rectangular Nestability to cut out a brown mat for it. The papers are Basic Grey Motifica. I made the flower using the papers and brown card. The ribbon and brad are from my stash.
