SKETCHBOOK BOUQUET

 Morning Everyone,

I have a card to share today made with Taylored Expressions Sketchbook Bouquet stamp.

Initially I stamped the flowers directly onto the card, coloured with copics and then masked it off to make a background, but big mistake and the background was terrible so I had to cut the flowers out as I couldn't waste them.  I splattered a new background first with gold watercolour paint and then stuck the bouquet on top.

I thought it was going to be a bin job but didn't come out too badly in the end.  The sentiment is from LOTV and is stamped in gold metallic.

FAVOURITE COLOURING MEDIUM

Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project using your favourite colouring medium, i.e. pencils, markers, inks etc.

I have used copic markers from the beginning of my card making journey so I am more used to them than anything, but I do have a go at using Zig marker sometimes, but normally with flowers. I've also had a go with pencils but find they take much longer.

For my card I have coloured these two images from the MFT Picture Perfect Party Animals stamp set which I bought second hand but not as yet used.  I cut them out with stitched squares, matted with black card and used papers to match the colours of the ballooons.  

The sponsor for the challenge is:

BUGS, FEATHERS OR FUR

 Morning Everyone,

It's time for a new challenge over at As You Like It as we are asking you to share a project using your favourite of either Bugs, Feathers or Fur.

My favourite has to be fur.  I think animals are cuter and there are plenty of diffent ones to choose from.

For my card I have used a Colorado Craft Co. stamp and coloured with copics.  I had another play on my sewing machine and tried the wavy pattern you see on some cards.  I quite like it.  It makes a change from using stiched dies all the time.  I've also added glitter to the snow, a die cut snowflake from my snowfalke box and a pearly one on top of that.

I hope you will be able to join us and the sponsor this time is:
