Some Odd Girl, Dancing Mae and I create a fun card!

Hey Hey,
I know I've been quiet over here in blog land.... But, a lot has been happening behind the scenes.... I had a uni assignment due on Friday, and some exciting news is coming.... I was approached by an awesome crafty girl who lives in Victoria to discuss opening up our own sketch challenge blog.... Our site, Feeling Sketchy will go live on April 1st (no April Fools!)... We have put together a small, but awesome design team and can't wait to get started... so pop on over and have a looksee... Meanwhile, I do have a card to share...

This is my first time colouring Dancing Mae, and let me tell you... she is the easiest, most fun little chick to colour! I used my Stampin' Write Markers, and a Blender pen and then when I was done colouring her, cut her out and stuck her to a white nestie and then a Marina Mist nestie. Behind the Marina Mist shape, I have popped three Rich Razzleberry ribbon loops, the main image panel is attached with dimensionals, atop some patterned papers from My Minds Eye and KaiserCraft. I stamped the sentiment using alphabet stamps and on the inside, it has 'like no-one is watching' 

I am entering this into two challenges. The Play Date Cafe colour challenge and the iSpy Sketches challenge

 

 

Thanks for popping by :)

There She Goes - Dance and I create a Get Well Soon Card

You know those crafters out there, who everything they do looks exactly how you want your cards to look? I have a couple of card idols.... one of them is shabby, one is purely clean and simple, and one, who does what I like to call 'clean vintage'. If you participate in a lot of challenges, like I do, you've probably spied her around... Narelle Farrugia. Her style is absolutely breathtaking, all clean lines and vintagey.... (who even knew they went together???) Anyway, there is a point to my swoon.... I used inspiration from Narelle's cards to create....

I used a Basic Gray card base, layered with Crumbcake and a piece of patterned paper (this was an off cut, and I'm not sure which company it is from!) I then tied some bright yellow ribbon and stamped the flowers from There She Goes with StazOn on So Saffron and Daffodil Delight card and cut them out. The sentiment panel is cut with my Labels 4 Nestabilities and sponged in Basic Grey and stamped with the leaf image from Dance, the main sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! set Sincere Salutations. 

I am entering this into the CR84FN Colour challenge and the upcoming sketch from ICSketches

Thanks for popping by! Go check out Narelle's cards!
