Di Hickman Card Sketch Jan #4

Can't believe we're at the end of January already! Here's my take on Di's latest sketch - I think this has to be my favourite of the month, this card came together for me so quickly!

I've used Making Memories Garden Party papers - I just adore this scalloped edge one with the daisies on - along with some Prima hydrangeas and some very luxurious velvet ribbon and pearls!

Here's my take on the gorgeous sketch from FS this week. It also fits in with the Lili of the Valley Valentine challenge.

The cardstock is Coredinations Black Magic, the paper is Love Elsie Betty and the stamp was a magazine freebie!

Sketch Saturday #35 & Papertake - Shape Up!

Here's my take on the gorgeous sketch from Sketch Saturday - which fitted in perfectly with the Papertake theme to use 3 different shapes!

Arty Girlz #69

It's been ages since I did one of the Arty Girlz challenges, but this week my pal Fab is their guest designer, so I made a special effort!

The theme was transparent, so I was going to make an acetate card, until I remembered this cute Making Memories acrylic frames that I've had for ages!

To make this quick card I used Basic Grey Two Scoops paper, prima flowers and an Imaginisce stamp.

CPS Favourite Sketch and Cute Card Thursday #44

This week CPS let us decide on our favourite sketch from 1-99 and that's a lot of sketches to choose from! I decided to use sketch #54, and here's what I came up with - a very simple card using Magnolia stamps, cardstock and a craftwork cards sentiment - no patterned paper in sight!

Here is my original take on sketch 54, which is really different - and that's why I love sketches so much!

I also incorporated this week's Cute Card Thursday theme of "creating a scene".

Another week and another gorgeous sketch from Di!

For this one I've used the Making Memories noteworthy range, the scalloped edge was cut with my Fiskars threading water punch and I've finished it with an Imaginisce crochet flower - love these!
