Sketch Saturday #268

Good morning Sketch Saturday fans!

It's time for our new sketch and it's a lovely Clean and Simple sketch for you. Here is my interpretation.

I needed a 70th birthday card for a commission order for someone who loves steam trains. Good old Google images came good again! Teamed with Stampin' Up! paper and button it makes for a very elegant 'man card'!

Here is Jen's fab sketch for you to work with

So come on, let's see your gorgeous creations!

Best of Butterflies and Flower Garden

Hello and happy Monday to you all!

Wow I am busy with orders this week! I shall try and blog them all when I can.

Here is one of them...

This card is for a returning customer who has so far had 6 cards off me...it's nice to have customers coming back time and again :)

I have used a lot of die cutting and punching on this card - Ovals Framelits, Bigz Alphabet Typeset, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Pansy Punch, plus Lacy Brocade embossing folder - my Big Shot sure has been put through it's paces today!

The lovely Blushing Bride flowers are from the new Flower Garden stamp set, and the butterfly is from the stunning Best Of Butterflies.

I stamped my butterfly onto vellum for a soft, fluttery look.

Supplies

Stamps - Flower Garden, Best Of Butteflies

Ink - Blushing Bride, Pool Party

Dies/Punches - Ovals Framelits, Bigz Alphabet Typeset, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Pansy Punch

A 70th Birthday, using up some stash!

Hello!

I've had a lovely couple of days crafting away as I was lucky enough to get 3 days off this week! Here is another card for you that I've made for a customer at work's 70th birthday, and it has really inspired me to use up some stash I found whilst having a clearout!

This was a sheet of numbers that I bought at my first ever GNPE about 3 years ago and never used! It happens alot, me buying stuff and not using it! Anyway, I had it in the charity giveaway bag, then remembered I needed the 70th card so I fished it our again thinking that I would only make the one card. Well I was so pleased with the result that, up to now, I've also made an 80th and I'm halfway through a 21st, plus I have 30 and 40 in the pipeline, all different colours! I shall post them as I make them. 

The nestie shape is Stampin' Up! Labels Collection, and the ribbon is some from some packaging I think. I finished with Liquid Pearls.

Distressed Beethoven!

Good morning!

I had another commission birthday card to make today, this time for a Brother's 70th Birthday. The request was for classical music or golf!

So I went with the classical music, especially as the lady in question kindly gave me this Inkadinkado 'Illuminata' wooden stamp, saying she doesn't really make cards so doesn't need the stamp!

Isn't it a fab stamp?!

I stamped the image using Vintage photo Distress Ink, and all the distressing is using the same ink. The 'dp' is just a Google image (I Googled 'Beethoven Music Script'). The sentiment and age were done on my pc, and distressed, and I finished with baker's twine. I also distressed the inside of the card and added the bit of music script I didn't use on the front.
