SKETCH SATURDAY NO. 15

I love this challenge. The sketches are always great (not always I get a chance to enter tho). I think this little girl with her bunch of flowers is ideel for a card. I have coloured her using water-colours (as always).
I must invest in some sentiment stamps lol - I always have to make my own as I only have "Happy Birthday" and "Best Wishes".

Stamp with Sarah Kay No. 10

Another super sketch - most of us love sketches - over by Stamp with Sarah Kay.
I have used "Precious Moments" and coloured with water-colours. All the materials used are little scraps that most of us have in abundance. The butterfly came free with some paper in a magazine.

A Spoonful of Sugar - Not a card

Never made a bookmark before but will definately make a few more (currently got 5 orders from my 15 yo son's mates lol).
Tilda is coloured with my watercolours and attached using 3D foam pads. The backing paper is hand-made - soaked in tea and a few coffee grains and I wrote the words when dry. The numbers - "1" and "2" are by Doodlebug. I made the little book from scraps of paper.

ISMAKI No. 29

This is my first attempt at this challenge and I love the sketch.
I have used High Hopes stamped Giraffe "Stretch" and used water-colours. The papers are Basic Grey "Caravan" and "Romany" together with scraps from stash. The "1" on the mini envelop is Doodlebug. The flower is my first attempt (another first) at crochet flowers (you can find the instructions on http://bevscrafts.blogspot.com - and she makes some lovely ones :) ). Inside the envelop is a food-plan for feeding the giraffe - lol.

Papertake Weekly No.10

Katharina has provided the sketch and the beautiful prize for this weeks challenge at Papertake Weekly. As always her sketches are so lovely to work with.
I have used a stamp from WoJ "Charlie with Snowman". He looks like he's having lots of fun. I painted him with watercolours and used a little glitter-glue to add christmas sparkle. The papers are Doodlebug "Flurry" and Pebbles inc "Snowflake". Ric-a-rac is from stash and the sentiment circle is hand-made.
