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.

Wendy`s Sketch Challenge 9

Here's my Card for Wendy's Sketch. I've used some more of Kay Millers Amazing Papers!!!! These come from the "Wings" Kit, which is available from Kay Miller Designs. I've layered onto Silver Mirri Card and the torn strip is Vellum that I printed one of the papers onto. The image is from Panduro Girls Collection which I coloured using Twinkling H2O's.

You can expect to see alot more of Kay's papers as I've got loads of kits to get through, it's just deciding which one first.

CPS #58

Here's this weeks CPS Sketch, I quite liked this one, a bit different to what we normally do. It was harder than I thought to come up with an idea after seeing the great DT cards. So I decided to keep mine nice and simple and a bit on the less side. Or should that be alot on the less side???

I used plain white textued card stock for all my layers but coloured the outer edges of the green and pink layers with the same Twinkling H2O's I used to colour the stamp. I also painted some buttons with the Burnt Umber H2O that was used for the center of the flowers. The Peel Off sentiment was coloured Pink using my Metallic Permapaque Hobbymarkers from Sakura.

CPS #57

Here's this weeks CPS Sketch, I must say that this was one of my quickest cards yet. I already had the Penny Black "Labour of Love" stamped image and was halfway through painting it with Twinkling H2O's.

All I had to do was finish off the painting, mount onto red card, add the ribbon and wrap my Crimson Pink Petticoat Doodleicious Rainbow paper around my card. If you look at the card you might see that the backing paper isn't stuck down.

Cute Card Thursday #2

All Creatures Great and Small! This is this weeks Challenge. I did a really simple card his week as you can see. I basically only used White Card Stock, a peice of blue pearl card, a scrap of white card, 4 crystal stickers elements, some ribbon, three stamps, Twinkling H2O's to colour the image and a stamp pad for edging.

The Stamps are from the New! Cute Companions stamp range, designed by Jane Nestorenko for Crafters Companion.

CPS #39

Here's my take on this week's CPS Sketch. I did it slightly different by adding the word Christmas instead of an embellishment.

This Penny Black Stamp set is just so cute, I coloured it using Twinkling H2O's and some Diamond Stickles. I did the word CHristmas using a Red Sakura Stardust pen and then going over it with the Diamond Stickles Glitter Glue. The red underneath gives it a lovely gold shimmer.

CPS#35

Here's my take on this weeks sketch, I must say it's getting a bit easier. It must be all the practice! I think you learn alot through the sketches because you seem to go back and compare your own work to others. I've seen some very obvious mistakes I've made on some of my past cards and some not so obvious. I won't mention which ones, I might be here all day!

The papers are from a fab little kit I found at Scrap-Shop France, Amelies Scrap "Sea", the Brown flower started off yellow, but I used Twinkling H2O's to match the paper.

Saturday Stamper - Pink Ribbon

What a fun challenge this week. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month Saturday Stamper wants us to create a card using Pink Ribbon, any colour pink as long as it's on our Project. We can also do our bit by clicking daily, my link is to the left under "Think Pink".

I got my new Daisy Jar stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms yesterday, along with some more Twinkling H2O's, that now brings my twinkly stash up to 60. This was the perfect opportunity to use both, I think that Pink (Baby's Breath) is a stunning colour. Aren't the names of the colours just brilliant, the matching blue is called Navajo Pearl.

Saturday Stamper - DPOV

Here's another New Challenge Blog, for me that is. Saturday Stampers DPOV- “different point of view”, we need to do two or more creations using the same stamp, to see how different we can all use our stamps. That's the Challenge.

My First Card I used Artylicious Butterfly Bliss Papers. I stamped the largest of the "Just Butterflies Unmounted Rubber Stamp Themeplate", onto Card and Vellum, embossed both of them using JudiKins Lapis Lazul Embossing Powder, and then painted them using Twinkling H2O's. I cut a piece of Chipboard and painted that aswell.

For this Second one I once again used Artylicious Butterfly Bliss Papers and stamped the same Butterfly onto White Card using Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance Ink. I cut it out and Glued down flat onto the Finished Base Card.
