Sketch Saturday ..Sasayaki Glitter

Hiya,todays card for this challenge I have used my favourite Sasayaki Glitter winter girl image,I did her last year ,but could not resist again this year lol!..once coloured with my Polychromos Pencils I fussy cut her out..I then used Tonic Winter Wishes Paper pad and mounted them onto a beautiful toffee coloured card,As the main paper had the lovely gingerbread men on I used a lighter one for the panel....As you can see I have just popped a straight banner across my panel ,my mistake,but you can make slight variations on the sketch and this is mine..To finish the project I added all the main features the girl and panel with 3D glue gel and then I used a very small punch to cut some tiny snowflakes and scattered them around the card marking the center with a gold pen to just give a little bling to them ..
Thank you for popping by :) xx

World Wide Open DT Challenge ..September

Hiya..Todays lovely image has been coloured using my Polychromos pencils onto Neenah card,I then mounted her onto some beautiful deep blue card which I then carried through to the backing card..For this I used some card I brought from Kanban I think last year of C&C tv..and for this one I chose the gorgeous embossed doves and they have Peace on Earth under them..It would be nice if there was ..The other is white trees embossed onto gold and it was an off cut from a project from last year and I felt it would fit beautifully with this..To finish I have used some dies from China,but I think I actually have a set of these I brought a few years back, but I cannot remember the make off hand..To finish I added clear gems to the centers ,these actually pick the gold as well as bring through the grey tones in her hair..My favourite Christmas card yet this year ..Thank you for popping by

Sasayaki Glitter Sept Challenge Brown

This was a fun card to do..I coloured the little fella with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Please note that the background and foreground is just my artwork and nothing to do with the stamp,so will not be included I then trimmed and mounted it onto craft card.. Then cut and mounted the backing papers onto craft card..The papers are from Tonic's Woodland Walk paper pad..I used an unbranded die set from China but I believe you can get similar from Marianne Designs if you cannot find this dinosaur set,cut out both in craft card and drew what I wanted on like the eyes and toes etc..Yhen used pencil to give the textured look you sort of expect a dinosaur to haveand stuck them on with 3D glue so they are slightly proud of the image..The photos do not do justice to this card ,I am afraid my lighting is not so good tonight..
Thank you for popping by  ðŸ˜Š xx

**PLEASE NOTE THE STAMP IS ONLY THE FIGURE**

Sketch Saturday ..Pink Gem Designs

 Hiya..I have coloured the Penguin in Three times using it differently to create the three squares at the top..This was done with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah Card..I then mounted it onto Red card,which I used throughout the card for highlights.The papers are from a Tonic paper pad called Winter wonderland..I used Pom Poms to decorate the center red piece of card and learnt using my new glue gun put glue on card not onto the small bits ..the air went blue as it stuck to one finger than another and another ..Phew only one blister so was able to finish the card lol!..great tool though,I just brought the little Boch one as its easy on my fingers ..well if I dont get the glue on them ..even with arthritic fingers it is easier to use than the usual small trigger type 😊..For the first time I have shown the inside of my card so you can see how I finish them..Thank you for popping by,have a lovely weekend 😃xx

Sept 1st New Release..Sasayaki Glitter

This is another card I thoroughly enjoyed..I coloured the image with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card, Once I had done this I drew in the three baubles inked  and coloured them in and then added the shading around the back of the baubles and the cute zebra this gives it much more depth..I then added a squiggle around the outer edge ,cut it out and mounted onto black card..All the papers used are also backed onto black card too..These are from a Tonic Christmas Wishes Pad ,and I used a cute darker tree and present one for the background and a nice gold coloured tree one as a band across the center to pick upon the gold in the one bauble and add to the backgroundI thin finished with three gold gems to opposite corners..
Thank you for taking the time to pop by :)xx

*** Please note the digi does not include the baubles
 that is my own art work as I wanted it to be a Christmas Card***

Sketch Saturday Challenge..Crafty Sentiments Designs

Hiya..for today's challenge card ,I have coloured the little girl in using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..The background is coloured with pastel chalks to give a very soft effect..The card I used for mounting is from Hunky Dory in a beautiful soft green,I used this throughout the card.The papers are from Docrafts Painted Blooms paper pad ,this has some lovely papers in,this one is actually satin finished and looks stunning in real ,the strip however is just matt and adds a different texture..The sentiment is cut off some card I brought from Kanban last year and is white and gold embossed onto craft card,as there are lines of words on it this was just a quick easy addition ,and it really stands out too ..To finish I added three deep red roses to the bottom of the left corner of the image ,they pick up the red from the image and from the paper ..Remember it does not have to be exactly the same as the sketch when you visit the challenge blog you will see how the other girls have interpreted it ,you can show a bit of you own artistic flair ,after all if we did exactly the same it would make us so boring lol..Imagine everyone being able to make cards like mine lol!.. so out of the box sometimes I scare myself ha! ha!..But it's all about the love of doing it ..
Thank you for popping by 😊 xx
