Week 208 Sketch time

My Goodness our challenge last week hit a chord with lots of you!

What an amazing number of entries!

Thank you all so much!

This time we have a sketch for you!
Sketch 14

Here it is!

Chrissie

Here is a card inspired by Lisa (I'm in Haven) who used a Memory Box die to make a flower. I loved it immediately and wanted to get the die for myself, but then thought that maybe I could adapt one I already had.

This is how I did it, I apologise for forgetting to turn the image the right way up for you!

There are more cards on my personal blog!

Sarah

Firstly using Paper Smooches balloon dies I die-cut 2 heart shaped balloons

and inked them up with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry & Barn door.

The Eiffel Tower stamp is from the Je T'Aime set from Clearly Besotted

This is heat-embossed in Hero Arts white EP onto a panel of white cardstock

 which is also inked up using the same distress inks as above.

(In line with the sketch I promise I did die-cut half of the heart balloon 

from the panel at the top - before popping it up on 3d foam)

The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted: Paired Up and the balloon ties

from CBS: Build a bug set.

Anne

I've combined Avery Elle Storybook stamps with some washi tape for this fairly literal interpretation of the sketch.  The balloon is diecut from a scrap.

There are more examples on our personal blogs so we would be delighted if you could pop over via the links above our names to see what else we have done for you!

We hope you'll enjoy this simple sketch.

Week 207 Theme

For our theme this week we have chosen

FRIENDS

You can choose any aspect of friendship for the subject of your design, but of course it needs to be clean and simple with lots of white space.

We also would like to remind you that we love it when you visit other contributors to our challenges to leave a friendly word!

Here are our examples

Anne

Stamps from Acid Drops and Whatnots, coloured with Copics and mounted on a stitched rectangle from a die by Simon Says Stamp.

Chrissie

This is a sweetie of a stamp from Penny Black. It was stamped then masked and over-stamped with a scratch stamp from Stampin' Up using Versamark. A few shades of Pan Pastels were applied directly over the Versamark using pieces of sponge.  Once the mask was removed, the ducks were coloured with Mirage Pens. It's cut with Die Namics pierced ovals The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Sarah

Supplies used:

Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry & Spiced Marmalade

Sentiment: Clearly Besotted - Say it In Style

Beautiful Blooms die from Uniko Studio

Wooden patterned button from my stash

We hope you'll have fun with this one!
