My Paper World Sketch #7

Here's my take on this week's sketch. I think I may just attempt another one as I'm not 100% happy with this one.

The papers that I used come from Amanda Thorderson's Head Over Heels Kit available from Digital Scrapbook Pages. The Flower Image was actually cut out of one of the Backing Papers in the kit, I then drew in a stem with my Hunters Green Sakura gel pen. The Butterfly is a wooden button which I painted with Twinkling H2O's to match the Card Stock that I used for the Matting of the image.

Caardvarks Got Paint! Challenge

PAINT! Brush it on, stamp it on, crackle it, puff it, pounce it, dab it, just do it! This is the Challenge for Caardvarks, they want us to do aything we want with paint. This is my first Caardvarks Challenge and I thoroughly enjoyed doing this card. I just love these colours, I think they're bright, strong, and vibrant. I like them so much we've decided to do our Bedroom and On-Suite with them, slightly more Brown than Turqoise though.

I used some of my Crafts Beautiful Free Papers from the September Issue, and the matching Tag, to which I've added a Rub-On. I Stamped 2 Large and 2 Small Daisie's from The Stampman's Double Delights Unmounted Stamps, painted them using Twinkling H2O's, Burnt Umber and Mediterranean Blue. I didn't have any matching Ribbons so I painted a Sticky Ribbon and some Daisy Ribbon.
