Sketch and stash challenge #4



The sketch this week is brilliant and I got to use my new stamp that I love not just once but twice! I just love colouring her so much. The papers are old papermania one I got ages ago (we are talking years!). The heart brads are brad new they arrived in the post today and are also papermania.
I had great fun with the hearts they are holding as I used pva and blobbed it into the shape of the hearts and then covered it in fluffy glittery flock to give it some texture.

Daring card makers challenge is to make an oriental card without using red and black. I have again used this cute little down loadable Anya. The papers are again from digital kit Chocolate Cherry.

2 in 1 - sketch saturday and one stop craft challenge



These cards have been made using digital images from the greetings farm and digital scrapbook kits. For both cards I have used sketch Saturdays sketch and it has a circle in it so also fits for one stop crafters challenge this week.

The for the unicorn card I have used the greetings farms cupcakes digital kit for the papers and the sentiment.

For the Geisha card I used a kit called chocolate cherry which I got free from all the amazing scrappers that I have linked to on my other blog. It is part of what is called a blog train where various bloggers get together and all make different parts of a kit based on a theme or colour pallet and all put it on their sites on the same day so you can blog hop around and collect it all.

Yay Anya!!






There is now a new blog up and running for Anya stamps and they have a competition this week to follow a sketch and the pic have to be uploaded to their card gallery. I have put them in the gallery but thought I would put them on here too with a couple of extras...... I have been playing around with didgital scrapbooking kits on my other blog and thought I would try and include them in some cards as the papers are gorgeous! For the Alice cards I have used downloads from The greetingfarm (the people that make the Anya stamps). They have been done on the computer so I can play about with the lay out and tweek it as much as I like and not waste a thing. Then when I like it I can print it out just flat as it is or can print it in bits and put it all together so it's still got that hand made feel. The ones in the this post are just as they are saved on the computer but later I will post one I have done and printed out to put together to show you what I mean. What do you think?

She is coloured with promarkers and sakura pens for a bit of sparkle on her trousers and hat. The backing papers are from funky hands cd funky daze which I have fallen in love with so expect to see more of it (so much for using up my scraps!).
