Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This weeks Penny Black Challenge was another Sketch. Really enjoyed this one bit I think I need to get some more Penny Black stamps, my choice is rather limited at the moment.

Backing Papers are from Kay Millers Wings Kit. Stamp is of course Penny Black which I coloured with Whispers Brush Pens. Thank You stamp is from my Hero Arts Clear Design stamp set. Brads and Ribbon Bits from my stash and Bit Box.

Papertake Weekly - Katharina's Sketch #6

What can I say, but another Great Sketch from Katherina again for this weeks Papertake Weekly challenge. I really enjoyed this Sketch and I think I'm slowly getting to grips with Contrasting Papers. Do you ever look back at past posts and think what the hell were you thinking when you made that? I know I do, but it's less an less now. Who know's maybe I am improving, or I could just be getting used to them.

These Scrummy Papers are from Eva Kiplers "Wild Blueberry Kit" from Sweet Shoppe Designs. I had a hard time deciding which papers to use. I stamped Tilda with Blue Pigment ink and Embossed using Clear Embossing Powder, then coloured with Twinkling H2O's. Thank You sentiment is from my "Thank You" Hero Arts Clear Stamps set which I also Embossed. Finally added some Ribbon from my stash.

CPS #68

Here's my take on the CPS Sketch, it's not exactly a Father's Day Card, men's cards are not my strongest point at the moment. I'm into Thank You cards and decided to go Black and White.

The Sketch is quite basic, so I decided to keep the Card plain and simple too. Basic White Card, matted and layered with Black card, white card put through the Cuttlebug using the Paisley Embossing Folder and then I took my Stazon ink pad over the top. The stamp is Aspire by Penny Black and the sentiment is from my "Thank You" Hero Arts Clear Stamps set. I added some sticky back gems as a finishing touch.

CPS #65

Here's my card for the sketch. I managed to find some Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Pads for half the normal price so I bought as many colours as they had in stock (18 in total) if they had more I would have got them too. I've only just started playing with them and I'm making a few mistakes here and there but enjoying it none the less.

I've again used a Kay Miller Design Kit, this time the Light of My Life Kit. I only used one backing paper. I distress inked the White card stock for the panels. The paper and card has been mounted onto Gold Mirri Card. The sentiments are Hero Arts Clear Stamps.

Wendy's Sketch Challenge #10

Here's my card for wendy's Sketch. I should have Ironed my ribbon before I put it on the card! Sorry about the flash. I'm going to retake some of today's photo's in the morning, I had to take them all at an angle because of the Mirri Card.

The Floral paper is from Kay Millers Midnight in the Garden and the Purple Background paper is from the Wings kit. Sentiment is a Hero Arts Clear Design Stamp.

Kay Miller Card

I just had to do another card this time using Kay Millers Simple Pleasures Kit. Unfortunately my photography skills do not do these papers any justice!

The Image is another of the Pandura Girls stamps, watercoloured with chalk inks. The sentiment is from one of my Hero Arts Clear Design stamp sets.

sketch this: 48

Another excuse to use my Kay Miller Designs. I really enjoyed doing this sketch, so much so that I'm going to be doing a LO aswell. Watch This Space!!

The papers are from the All Organic kit by Kay Miller Designs, the stamp is Gossamer by Penny Black, which I watercoloured with Derwent Aqua Tone Pencils and the Sentiment is a Hero Arts Clear Design Stamp. I used brown velvet ribbon and a wooden Butterfly Button from my Bit Box.
