Freshly Made Sketches #608

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our fabulously talented sketch designer is Jacquie Southas.

The card I created features a cute lil elephant from the Little Dreamers Stamp Set. I’ve added Gold Foil diecuts created with the matching Little Dreamers Dies.

The banners were hand cut and embossed with an embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. They been cut in a combination of Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock Yardsticks.

I added some Linen Thread and a shaded/ink flicked background and my card was done!

The team have created awesome creations. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Global Design Project #415

Hey Everyone

A weekend at home means I got to craft on both Saturday and Sunday!. The challenge I’ve created my card for is the theme challenge at Global Design Project. This week their theme challenge is Pattern.

I took out one of my masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and thought I’d try a two toned effect with the shading. The first layer I shaded was Fresh Freesia Ink. I then too my Highland Heather Ink and added touches to the top of each mosaic shape. It took longer than expected….but I liked the effect in the end.

I diecut some leaves from the Textured Floral Dies and diecut two banners from the Nested Essentials Dies. The largest one was cut with Berry Burst Cardstock. To bring more Berry Burst into the card, I matted this decorated piece of cardstock with it.

As I wanted to create a birthday card for a little girl, I took the lion image from the Little Dreamers Stamp Set and coloured it with my Crumb Cake Blends and the star with Berry Burst Blends.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #410

Hey Everyone

Had a chance to play in my craft room today and found this weeks sketch challenge at Global Design Project to enter.

Take a look at their fab sketch:

Time for a baby card to add to my stash. For my baby card I used images and dies from the Little Dreams Bundle. I coloured my images with Smoky Slate Blends and fussy cut them out. I create a lightness to my Smoky Slate Blend by using the Colour Lifter. I coloured the star with my Pool Party Blends.

The placed Coastal Cabana Cardstock behind the diecut star panels and added some die cut clouds. The sentiment I’ve added is also from the Little Dreamers Stamp Set. This sentiment was trimmed in half to give me the split sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #590

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the super talented Kim Singhahlsen.

Kim’s sketch had me thinking baby card for some reason.The stamp set I’ve used for my card is called Little Dreamers. These little images are the cutest and ready for colouring. I’ve coloured the images with a combination of Smoky Slate and Gray Granite Blends. The star the lion is holding has been coloured with my Pool Party Blends.

The background Basic White Cardstock has been stamped with the stars stamp and Pool Party Ink. This gives a little interest to the background.

For the strips of cardstock, I have used Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock Cardstocks. The clouds have been cut out with the matching dies to the stamp set. These dies are called Little Dreamer Dies. The moon was also cut out with these dies.

The team have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #396

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Global Design Project is a CASE The Designer Challenge.The challenge they have given us in to CASE Krista’s gorgeous card – take a look at her card:

I’ve had the Little Dreamers Stamp Set sitting unlinked for a couple of weeks. The matching dies were also sitting unused so I rectified this today with a CASE of Krista’s card. The clouds and moon dies in the Little Dreamers Dies were the starting point to my card as they were similar to her card.

The little elephant was stamped in Black Memento Ink and coloured with my Gray Granite Blends. It was then cut it out with the matching die.

The Basic Gray circle die cut has been given a little bit of interest with the 3 star stamp from the Little Dreamers Stamp Set.

Once I started layered, I felt my card needed a little more detail -because why not really? After searching through my stash, I found this tree die from the Rhino Ready Dies. This tree die was cut with Smoky Slate and Pretty Peacock Cardstocks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
