Friday sketchers #50

An end to another week and not much achieved. I finished this card last night and had to wait for the light to take the pic.

I have used a Hanglar and Stanglar stamp to create this card. I have followed the sketch by Beatrix from Germany for the Friday-sketchers.

The challenge over at A-spoon-full-of-sugar is a colour challenge. They would like to see a green and blue theme. I made the head pin that I have used with a bead and a green real pearl.

Recipe for the card:

Stamp: Hanglar and Stanglar

Sentiment: Studio g

Paper: K&co Awning

Prima: Flower

Head pin by me

Coloured with copic pens.

Thank you for taking the time to visit. Please leave a comment so I can visit your blog x x

Congratulations

What a weekend. I finally managed to get some time to post my cards. I have made these cards to celebrate the first anniversary of the Cute-card-thursday. They have a lovely sketch to follow created by Katharina.

Over on a-spoonful-of-sugar they would like to see gems on your card. I am probably guilty of that on most of my cards I think lol. So I am joining them with this first card as the second has faux pearls.

On this first card I have gone for a pink and black theme which is just so now, at the moment. Simple layering of papers which I got from the SECC. The Gorjuss girl is coloured with the inkadinks from imagination-crafts. These stamps are so nice to work with, they always look great can't wait for the second set.

For this second card I have used a couple of magnolia stamps. As soon as I had seen these stamps I wanted them. They can cover so many special occassions in life. I have used them for an anniversary card. Maybe a pearl anniversary with all the faux pearls on.

I have created the tag by using a plan brown tag and a couple of the smaller rollagraphs and mica powders from imagination-crafts. I can't get enough of these and wish I could afford them all as they have some stunning designs. I used a different roller to give the detail to the circle alsoThis time the couple are coloured with my copic pens. The papers are from K&co . I just love the earthy tones, another hit with the DH.

• Thank you for stopping by.
• I love reading the lovely comments that you leave and visiting your blogs.
• I have been struggling lately with my internet as it takes forever for the pages to come up. Rather than blog hopping its more like blog crawling with a hangover on the Monday after a big weekend, lol.

sending a cup of smiles

Here's another one from me. This one is for the spoon-full-of-sugar challenge blog. They would like to see some doodles on your card this week. I have used 3d paints to doodle in some swirls and added detail around the circle. I am also joining in with the Basic-grey blog where they would like you to mix it up this week.

I have used the Sugared papers and the brads are from the Sultry collection. The image is from The-greeting-farm, coloured with copic pens. More doodles on the inside and a prima flower to finish of in the corner.

Materials used
Papers: Basic grey Sugared

Stamp: The greeting farm Cup of stuff

Prima flowers Woodland mix

Basic grey Sultry brads

Thanks for stopping by I hope you like it.

My heart and chocolate!!

Took awhile to bring this one together but I think I got there in the end.

I have used Tilda holding the heart and sat her on the box of chocolates from Alota rubber. These are coloured with copic pens. I used my nestibilities to make some layers for the background.

I would say I am so lucky to get my hands on these Martha Stewart punches but I paid the earth for them and now I am so glad as they are great. I have put some red paper behind the little hearts to pick them out better and blend with the card better.

On the inside I have used the nestibilities to make some layers and the sentiment is printed of my computer. I used the stamps from the two scoops to add abit more detail, I stamped them with versamark and then chalked them.

I am joining the Basic-grey challenge blog with this card. They have a recipe to follow. Ingredients: 2 Patterned papers, 1 Button, 1 Ribbon and Bow and 3 Brads.

I have followed the great sketch from Sketch-saturday blog and joining the Spoon-full-of-sugar challenge which is "Love is in the air".

celebrate the everyday

I'm totally behind on myself I have had this card made for the last 3 days and just didn't get time to post it. I wanted to use to take part in a couple of challenges and am still going to even though they have passed.

I followed the sketch on Sketch-saturday which was alot of fun.

The challenge on spoon-full-of-sugar was paper piecing. The trousers and the top are paper pieced and then coloured abit to give depth.
The challenge on the Whiff-of-joy blog is to use purple and greens. I cheated alittle and used my distressing inks to make papers the colour that I needed.

The inside of the card is stamped with see d's stamp and then chalked so it doesn't look stark.

lilac haze

I have made this card for a lovely lady that I have met through our business. It will be her 60th not that you would ever think it she looks so young.

I have followed the sketch on a-spoon-full-of-sugar challenge blog which is michelle this week. I have also used lilac which is the challenge on cute-card-thursday.The background paper is by K&co. The paper in the panels I have had for years, I glitter one panel to add abit of bling to the card. I coloured the image with my copic pens. The flowers are by prima, I hung a heart from a spacer for the centre of one flower and on the other large flower, I used a hatpin with beads I had to add another detail.
The other embellishment is a pearl button with a brad stuck in the middle.

I have double stamped the sentiment, once in metallic lilac and once in black to create a shadowing effect.

Stamp: Hanglar and stanglar

Papers: K&co

Flower: Prima

Winter wishes

Wow, after the couple of epic cards this card was a quick affair. I followed the ismaki sketch for this week by Isa. The option this week is blue and copper. I have also used flowered paper and a flower for my circle as this fits in perfectly for the Spoon-full-of-sugar challenge this week.

The flower that I used was white to start. I coloured with ranger distress ink and then stamped it with copper ink and embossed it. The image background is created with versamark stamped snowflakes and chalks. The image is created by stamping the girl and then masking her, so that when you stamp the boy he looks like he is next to her and it is one stampStamps: Hanglar and stanglar

Sentiment stamp: Whiff of Joy

Papers: K&Co

My knight

I have been wanting to make this card since I made my fairycastle and never got round to it. When I saw the challenge on a-spoon-full-of-sugar for a childs card I knew it was time to get doddling and make the castle.I have created the castle on the computer, printed and then coloured it with prisma pencils and highlights with my copic pens. That took awhile until I was happy with it and this was the second one I coloured. I then stuck it to the grey card and cut around it. I embossed the towers and stuck them with pads to add dimension.
I coloured the knight and the dragon with my copic pens. The sheild that the knight is holding I drew the St Andrews cross on and 3d glazed it so it looks like it is enamaled.

Stamps: Knight sugar nellie

Dragon: I can't remember

Castle my creation

Prisma pencils and copic pens for colouring.

2 brads hold the door shut

Don't forget the dinner!!

I have not been very active this week as I have been so busy but I have been trying to get this card finished since Sunday.
On high-hopes challenge blog they have a non traditional colours. Oh dear I did a boo boo. I thought it was a non traditional card!!!
I used the sketch on a-spoon-full-of-sugar by Trina. I hope you like it.I came up with what I thought was a great non traditional card but it wasn't meant to be christmassy colours and I have used my favourite colours. I'm such an idiot.
I'm going to share it with you anyway as I really like it. We have friends and family that hunt and they would love this card.
