Inspirational Card Sketch #9

Good Morning, it's Tuesday and time for Inspirational Card Sketches we're now on sketch challenge #9! So if you have a chance do check out the other Design Team creations!!!

Well... another fantastic sketch by the talented Dawn, and it was great working with the layout.

I have used the gorgeous patterned paper to represent the swirly wave on the left. I have lifted this side up a little with thin foam tape. The branch has been hand cut direct from the patterned paper and also raised on foam. The pretty leaves I have embellished with a little glitter.

Well I had to use a new Tilda I bought the other day and coloured her with my copics. I've tried to coordinate with the paper and the sentiment fitted in her tag just perfectly. You might be able to see a few touches of glitter on her outfit too! Then I have cut her out and raised her on a good bit of 3d foam. Don't you just love her socks!!!

Materials:
Paper: WRMK - Nonsense Pad Of Papers & Embellishments, white card,
Stamps: Magnolia - Tilda, PTI - Mixed messages,
Ink: Memento - black, copics sketch, sakura - stardust
Other: 3D foam, adhesive gems.

Hope you will join in this week and make a card using the wonderful sketch. Remember you can turn, flip or do anything you like with the sketch. And it's even easier to show us your wonderful creations using Mr. Linky!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I am so sorry for not getting commenting on your gorgeous creations I have been so busy lately... but I am really looking forward to seeing your creations!

Inspirational Card Sketch #4

At the wonderful Inspirational Card Sketches blog it's now our Third week and so time for sketch challenge #4

This is a great sketch by the fabby Dawn, and even better as I found it a little challenging!!!

I've been meaning to have a real good go at using distress inks for colouring and this is my result! I used my heat resistant matt to create a palette where I squidged the different distress ink colours onto, to then go in with my water brush, I had to mix colours to try and coordinate with this gorgeous patterned paper. I hope I've explained it (notice all my professional technical terms!!!) so that you understand! I have cut the coloured Tilda out and mounted with 3d foam!

The gorgeous chipboard flower stickers I have mounted on 3d foam and by using my embossing buddy dusted on the back to de-tack them, so they won't get damaged in the post! Then I finished off with a little glossy accents on the flowers and on the paper!

Cute Card, Tilda Red and Green

Challenge 36, Red + Green

This week we would like you to use red and green on your card.

Well, I also treated myself to a couple of Tilda stamps and this card is the first time I've ever used magnolia's. This is Tilda with Whirling Snowflakes, so so pretty. I used watercolour and went with red and green which goes with the challenge over on Cute Card Thursday.

The Flocking was done on adhesive sheet which I die cut and adhered to paper, it's so difficult to photograph but I think the close up gives a good resemblance! Made my own ghost snowflake and embellished with stickles around the edges!
