Mojo Mondays 110

I have lost track of time and all the challenges.  I am so behind and I feel I need to catch up.  I curently madly making cards to sell at the local markets so I have become completely disorientated.

Any way  this is a card a made for the Mojo Monday's sketch 110. The sketch is so elegant, but the card looked better in my head than in real life.  I don't know something about the card just isn't right.

I have a new snowflake punch so I used that and glittered the image with glitter glue, the ribbon is sheer navy blue and the images are from SU and Kaisercraft.

thank you for looking

Stamp'n for the weekend week 22

Woo HOO!  another 22.  I love the number 22 and Stamping for the weekend is at number 22.

We had to choose a one of three songs from the 80's and combine that them with the colors orange, blue and purple.   I chose Dirty Laundry - Don Henley. 

I used the laundry stamp from The greeting Farm.  I was excited to get to use this stamp.  I had heaps of left over strips and I hate wasting paper, so I cut them up and formed a brickwork pattern for the background.  I coloured her in the chosen colours with copics and added a prima flower.

Thank you for looking

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #25

I loved doing this  midnight madness sketch challenge.  It was beautiful sketch to follow, I had so many ideas for this sketch but in the end I went with black, red and white.  I decided to use my TGF Daliah from the wild sprout series and turned her into my Harliquin doll.   DP paper is from SU designer series in Riding hood red.  I used SU markers to colour her in, with copics to colour her skin and flower.

Sketch and Stash #22

Hi Everyone,

I decided I had to play along over at  Sketch and Stash  because they were up to their 22 Sketch challenge.  WELL 22 is my absolute favourite number so  I have to play.

Here is my entry into this stetch.  I really enjoyed this as it was a clean and simple sketch that you could dress up or dress down.  I went for in between.

I chose the paper from Stampin UP! called bella bleu, and I always though of this paper as a wedding type paper, so that is what I went for.  The lilacs are from Blossoms Abound from SU and the sentiment is from Wiff of Joy Wedding Wishes.   The colours are not quite navy, night of navy, cream and kraft.

Thanks for looking ,

Stamp'n for the weekend week 20

Hi all,

It all about have a haunting time at Stamping for the weekend challenge blog. I actually don't own any halloween stamps, so I had to make it up as I go.   I am a little embrassed with the card.  I used the TGF owl from Forest Friends stamp set and coloured the eyes red to give it a devilish look.  I used the full moon, then hand drew the spider web.  Looking at it now I see how amature it looks.  The sentiment is computer generatered.

The background was created using a brayer ad the Kaleidacolour spectrum pad from Stampin' Up!.
