Two for One

I suprised myself and managed to do loads today! So here's the 1st of 5 posts. I did this challenge using My Paper Worlds Card Sketch. Papertakes Challenge this week is Lilac and Lime, I think these colours are brilliant together! This weeks challenge is another colour combination! Luscious Lime and Lilac - or any shades of green and purple! The challenge this week is sponsored by Katty at SkattyKats.

The Papers are from Kay Millers Midnight in the Garden Kit, I mounted them onto Silver Mirri Card. Magnolia stamp coloured with Brush Pens, I added a chipboard tag and some ribbon with a Star Brad.

My Paper World Sketch #9

I've been playing around with Photoshop and very gradually I'm starting to learn how to use it. I managed to recreate Nicola's Sketch as a Template, use my digital kit and this is the result.

I then created the Hybrid version, which due to my amazing photographic skills (haha) has come out darker than the Digital one.

I've only just discovered Kay Miller Designs and will certainly be using alot of her kits, they are super fab!!! If you think these papers and images are adorable just wait till you see what else she has. The Kit I used for this card is Little Boy Joy. i went over the letters of the Sentiment with my Sakura Clear Gel pen (not that you can see it in the photo), the stars have been Crystal Lacquered along with the puppies collar and nose.

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.

My Paper World Sketch #6

Last night while I was catching up on leaving Blog Comments I discovered "My Paper World" and decided to do the Sketch. I had a good look around and think that Nicola's cards are so fresh and inspiring, and they all look so professional. I'm definitely going to be watching this site from now on.

Well here's my sketch and I decided to use Coloured Card for a change instead of the boring old white which I normally cover with Backing Paper. I matted and layered some backing papers from another newly discovered site, Prima Hybrid. I used Nancy Kubo's So Sweet Paper Collection and the Elephant Image from her Totally Sweet Doodles kit. Nancy's work is really fab, I'm very impressed with her graphics and images and will most definitely be waiting eagerly for her next Kit's.
