2 New Challenges :-)

I went on a little blog hop yesterday and found 3 new challenges ,,,I only managed to combine 2 of them for this card so the other one will have to wait until tomorrow :-)
I found Carol's Sketch Fun Challenge following a link from Kath's blog, so I made this card using Carol's fab sketch. From there I found the Stampotique Designers Challenge ,, it is their first week and they are asking for 'LOVE' :-)



I used this fab Stampotique image,, this one is called ,, Girl with Heart Purse :-) I coloured her with copics and inked the edges with black soot distress ink. The papers are Creative Impressions ,, I think ,,, but don't quote me :-) I also used some Black magic coredinations and a Martha Stewart heart punch. I used a little distressed ribbon and a Tim Holtz fragment tag :-)



I love these quirky Stampotique stamps ,, I know they are weird and a bit goth ,, but I think they're fab ! :-)

Thanks for looking :-) I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)


I have a GORGEOUS blog candy sponsored by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp if you would like to take a peek it is at the top of my blog :-)


Sketch and Stash Challenge :-)

Did you all get a lovely bunch of flowers yesterday ?? Ray bought me some lovely red tulips ,,, beautiful :-) It is carnival weekend here so lots going on ,,, everyone gets dressed up in costumes and go out partying ,,,,:-) Sean went as Arthur Dent from the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy ,, in his PJ's and dressing gown ,,, I have no idea what Amy's theme was as she was staying at a friends house and got ready from there and wouldn't tell me ,,,,, I dread to think !!!!!

Anyway ,,, on to the challenge :-) We are being sponsored this week by Whimsey Stamps the lucky winner will get a $15 voucher to spend in their store !! Lovely eh !! to be in with a chance of winning that you need to make a card following Becky's fabulous sketch :-)

For my card I used a brand new image from the Wild Rose Studio, this one is called 'For Ewe' ,, cute eh :-)



I coloured the image with copics ,, didn't use much ink tho !! :-) The papers are also a new paper pad from the Wild Rose Studio,,, Dulcie's new designs are all gorgeous ,, if you haven't seen them click HERE :-) The sentiment comes with the stamp and I used the centre of a Nellie Snellen frame to mount it :-)



I used neglected papermania handmade shimmer paper ( yellow) and think it looks lovely on this card ,,so glad I found them under a pile of papers and a little neglected gingham ribbon ,,, :-)



So here is the sketch for you to use :-) Happy Crafting :-)
