Sketch Saturday - Sponsored by The Craft Barn

Good Morning!

Well I survived my first week as a Saturday Girl, and here we are with a new challenge! This week we are sponsored by

Here is our sketch

and here is my card

This lovely little image is from Pixie Dust Studio and I coloured it absolutely months ago! It's been in a folder, doing nothing since then so I thought it was about time I used it! I have made this card for my best friend's little girl's 1st Birthday. The cute papers are Pink Petticoat Wild Blossoms (freebie pack from a mag) and the rest is from my stash.

Ta for looking and can't wait to see your entries!

Birthday Kitty

Hello all!
Well I have had the most brilliant time in Cambridge! It was very relaxing and an awful lot of fun! And it was just what I needed to restore my confidence and belief in myself :D Thank you Hels and all your friends! :D

Anyway, I had to make a couple of Birthday cards for Keiran's Auntie Rachael as it's her birthday today so here they are......

I'm a bit disappointed with the picture of this card as it is actually duck egg blue! Anyway, the image is from Pink Cat Studio and the blue card is embossed with Swiss Dots. I am entering this one into Less is More Monochrome challenge......hope the yellow eyes are ok? :) and Stamping Scrapping Central - embossing, and Ooh La La - Happy Birthday

This second one is using an image from Pixie Dust Studio and coloured with Promarkers. I have 'flocked' the cushion and added gems, glitter and glossy accents. The background paper is one Jen made for me......thanks hun!
I am entering both cards into the following challenges......
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
One Stop Craft challenge - Texture

Let's Play!

Hey again!
Well my crafting day resulted in only 1 more card I'm afraid, but it was from printing to colouring to building the card......not a pre-prepared image so that took some time!

This super cute image is one I have used before from Pixie Dust Studios, available here. I have coloured him in with Promarkers (Holly, Pine, Forest Green, Yellow, Primrose, Gold, True Blue, China Blue, Blue Pearl, Black, Cool Grey 5,4), cut him out by cutting round the largest die from Nesties Labels 12 and mounting onto various coloured pieces of card from my scrap box, finishing with some random green ribbon! The circle is also coloured with a Promarker (Pumpkin).
I am entering this card into the following challenges......

Plushie the Pony

Hello everyone and Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mum's out there!
I've had a hectic day at work, followed by a very yummy dinner cooked by my Keiran's Daddy for myself and his Mum and he did a pretty good job actually... the sticky toffe pud was to die for!
Anyway, complete with a (very large) baileys, I am posting a card I have made for a very special little girl's birthday!

The image is Plushie the Pony from Pixie Dust Studio. I have coloured her with Promarkers and then cut out 2 hearts with Nesties, which I haeve also coloured with Promarkers, then finished with glitter. The background paper is just so pink card from my scraps box embossed with Swiss Dots, and the ribbon is from my stash. The text is Cheri Liney, printed direct onto the card. I finishe the card with some of the new flowery Card Candi.
Hope you like it...I am entering it into the CES Children challenge #30

Gamer-A-Saurus

Evening all!
I'm so glad I have managed to get on here today to post the card I have made for a couple of challenges...mainly because I love it!

This image is a digi-stamp called Gamer-A-Saurus Red from Pixie Dust Studio. I have coloured him with Promarkers, cut him out with Nesties Labels 12 and mounted him onto some dark green corrugated card from my stash. the corners are yellow paper, coloured with my gold Promarker to make it match, mounted onto red card. The sentiment is from the free Polka Doodles set that came with this month's Papercraft Essentials. The card layout is a sketch from Cards For Men.

I am entering my card into the following challenges...
Pixie Dust Studio - Go Green
Cards For Men - Sketch
Charisma Cardz Challenges - To Die For
Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT - Monochrome (I hope this qualifies...)

Purrfect Princess

Good morning Bloggers! Well I am very excited about this card I have made for Pixie Dust Studio's 'Seeing Polka Dots' challenge. I am excited because it is very much out of the ordinary for me! I wouldn't usually use an image like this (I normally go more 'realistic') and I coloured this in totally with my own imagination! What I mean by that is that I didn't see it coloured in before I did it so I didn't copy or get inspiration from anywhere! Anyway, the image is Purrfect Princess from PDS and, once coloured in, I flocked the cushion pad to give it the plush I felt it needed. I added gems, and added glitter to the crown. I die cut the image with Nestabilities Labels 14. I made a black 6x6 card blank and attached some pink polka dot paper (Funky Hand free with Simply Cards and Papercraft last year). I wrapped the ribbon around the black top layer and added the image. I layered it onto the card with silicone glue and finished with a matching bow and Card Candi.
