Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 133

Hi! I'm pretty impressed with myself - I have actually been able to create! It's been nice to play along with a few challenges this week, I finally feel like my mojo is slowly coming back.

I always love the sketches that Karen has for us at Sweet Sunday each week and I thought I'd give this weeks a go.

Heres my take on it:

The paper is from a stack called "The Green Stack". I picked it up at Big W and it's great for guy cards. The dinosaur stamp's were a free set I got from a magazine. I've stamped the images onto watercolour paper and water coloured them just using my ink pads and water brush - nothing remotely fancy :) The birthday greeting is from Stampin Ups "Hedgehog Happiness". Once again I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Thanks for looking.

Hedgehog Happiness

Hi all! This week I knew I'd be short on time to create, so I combined Just Add Ink challenge of ripping and the sketch challenge at Inkspirations. Heres what I came up with:

How cute are those hedgehogs? I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but I have machine stitched around the patterned paper and then just ripped/tore the paper to the stitch line. I'm not one to really tear or distress on my cards, but I think this still works. I'm also loving these colours at the moment. I picked up a "Vintage Elegance" by Grace Taylor from Big W, with the intention of doing more 'vintage' cards, as this is a style I don't do well. I've teamed it up with some soft suede and added buttons and seam binding from my stash. I really love how easy this card came together! It sometimes defiantly helps having a sketch as a starting point.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Two posts in 1 day! My sister was around today as it's school holidays (she's only 13) and we sat down to create. This is the card that she came up with:

She made her own patterned paper and coloured the image in. I thought it was a pretty cute result.
