Stampin' Up! Kindness Matters - Get Well Soon

Hi Again! Look at this, a blog post a day since last Wednesday!
Are you as surprised as me? 

I have a card to share today, that features ZERO colouring from my Spectrum Noirs! or, my ever popular doodled borders! Here it is- 

I started out with some vanilla cardstock, stamped my butterflies, from Kindness Matters in Versamark, and embossed them in gold. I did a bunch of sponging in Crumbcake, and popped the butterflies on to some crumbcake patterned paper. I added a stamped doily border (also from Kindness Matters) and the sentiment is from Kaszazz. I tied a big, vanilla, seam binding ribbon bow, and added some pearls to finish this card off.

Here is the close up -

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the inspiration pic from Tuesday Trigger. I took the colours from this pic, and made it my own... I am also entering this into the Sketchy Friday sketch

Thanks for dropping by! I'm redrawing my giveaway on my Facebook page, as the winner has yet to get back to me... so, don't forget to pop by, and see if you're the winner!

Feeling Sketchy and Some Odd Girl

Hi guys! I'm late posting my DT card for Feeling Sketchy today, because I overslept... But, it's here....

I started off with my Hey Kaylee stamp set which I stamped and coloured using my Spectrum Noir Markers, I used this tutorial on youtube to get my shading just how I wanted.

It has made me look at my markers in a whole new light! If you're a recent convert to Spectrums and want them to blend more easily, this is the tutorial for you! :) Anyway, back to the card..... I fussy cut her out and then popped her on dimensionals onto a Spellbinders Label 4 die cut. Next up was building my card. I used patterned paper from My Minds Eye and my sewing machine to attach them together. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Kindness Matters stamp set, and I have stamped it using Craft White Ink to make it pop on the Kraft cardstock. I layered the patterned papers on to the Kraft card base and added some bling to finish it off.
This is the feeling sketchy week 11 sketch -

Feeling Sketchy Week 4 - Kindness Matters with Paper Piecing

Another Monday has arrived, which means it's time for the newest sketch at Feeling Sketchy! The sketch is one I thought I would struggle with, but as I sat down to create, I was pleasantly surprised!

I set myself a challenge for this card, it was to use only scraps (except the base card.) I trawled through my box of half cut papers, and came across this black spotty paper and some dictionary print (from Kaisercraft) The pink chevron paper is from My Minds Eye. I started with the polka dot paper, and carefully stamped and embossed a lace border (MME) in white. The butterflies (from PTI) are stamped on patterned paper, and carefully cut out and popped on to white die cut butterflies (die cut from PTI too) they were then layered onto black circles and attached to the dictionary print. I tied a Pretty in Pink bow (scrap piece of ribbon) and attached it to the card. This card was finished off with a Kindness Matters sentiment, from the Stampin' Up! set of the same name. 

Check out this weeks sketch - 

I'm also linking this up to the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World....  I was inspired by the colours (not so much the black) and the butterflies :)

Don't forget to pop over to the blog and play, or share some love with my fellow sketchettes :)

The Greeting Farm and I create a Masculine Thank You Card

I was in a total colouring mood this evening, and decided to have a play....

I decided from the offset that this lil guy was going to be a "Ginger Ninja", so set to work colouring his hair. I started with So Saffron as the base, then a fair bit of Pumpkin Pie and finally a touch of Tangerine Tango on the ends and blended it all up with my blender pen... I love his hair! I used patterned papers from two different My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pads and some of the Stampin' Up! Denim Ribbon (I need more of this!) I mounted the lil guy on a white circle cut out with my nesties and attached him using mounting foam. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set, Kindness Matters, which has been stamped with Island Indigo. The whole shebang has been mounted onto some Tangerine Tango card stock. 

I am entering this into the TGF Farm Fresh Challenge, to Case Rachels card and the colour challenge from the Play Date Cafe colour challenge.
