Saturday Sketch # 24 & Spoon full of sugar Challenge.

I must be on a roll, this is the third sketch

I have done today.

Saturday sketch # 24

Here is my card which is also

for A spoon full of sugar challenge,

A CARD FOR A CHILD.

I have really enjoyed doing this card today

along with the two sketches below

on Willow Sketchie challenge blog.

Willow sketchie # 2

HA! for once I am up to speed!

This is the Willow Sketchie # 2

A close up of the flower and greeting.
A close up of the sweet Fairy,
Stamp is from Spiral Whispers.

Gems to make her sparkle and glitter

gel pens to highlight her skirt and hair.
Here is the finished card,
I thought I would work in green for a change!
Hope you all like it.

Willow sketchie # 1

As usual I was too late to submit this for last weeks challenge,

this was Willows sketchie #1

Here is my take on that great sketch.
The Cat is a Magnolia stamp,
Highlighted with gel pen,
to match the pink in the brad.
I hope you all like it!
Check out Willows Sketchies,
link at bottom of challenge blog list.
Better get cracking on the new one today!

I have been creative and clever!

I know that title sounds like I am blowing my own trumpet!

I am a great fan of challenge blogs,

loving the sketches we get a chance to play with.

My main problem was, I couldn't always remember

how a sketch was done. I had to keep going to the computer to

look. (big problem if it was being used by someone else!)

So I decided to make use of a book I had waiting to be altered,

by decorating the front.

Pictured below, and then hand draw each sketch into

this book for personal use when I wanted a sketch to follow.

Here is a close up of the front cover,

another big love of mine a Tilda stamp.

Of course I had to use a sketch on the front too.
This is a Saturday sketch #3
One I never had the chance to use in time for the
challenge blog.

With added ribbons to make it look even better!
Inside are the sketches that I really like and

will use again and again.

The ones I know who designed them will have

the name added with it so each time I use it I can then

tell everyone who it was designed by.

One sketch per page gave me room to show

it in detail as to how the sketch worked.

I know you probably wonder why i didn't just print them out

straight from the computer? My main issue is we

always run out of ink too fast!

Now I have a lovely book full of insperation just for me!

PS:- Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments,

I would be thrilled to know I have inspired others to

do this project too!

Thats the whole idea of showing things on my blog.

Paper Take weekly Challenge 'Dawnys sketch #1'

is to use the sketch below.

I did a close up of this cute little hedghog,

to show the detail in the parcel.

in with glitter gel pen.

I do hope you like my take on such an unusual sketch.

Again I have left a sentiment off, so it will be a useful card in my collection.

Thank you for taking time to look.

A cute cat outfit, just right for that trick or treat.

Tilda and Co Challenge # 40

I haven't had much time to do many Challenge's,

So here is on of my first for a very long time!
Tilda and Co Challenge # 40 asked you to use this sketch.

Well here is my take on it,

I doodled the leaf and berry pattern onto the main card,

to match the small amount of paper I have used on the card.

For some reason my layering went off to one side!

But I still consider it quite a good card,

I would love to know what you think about it.

Is to Include beads on your project.

I did some free hand doodles on the green

card where the bookmark sits.

Each time I took a picture though I got flash back

as the bookmark is laminated.

A pretty combination.
