Here's my turn at my sketch

Howdy everyone!


Today I'm kinda lost a little. My hubby went back to work today ~ after being off for almost a month. The plant had a shutdown since before Christmas and he's been home. I like it when he's home. But after being in a routine with him for the past month, today feels weird. I suppose I should do something useful. I'm in the process of making some cards, but I thought that I'd take a break and show you what I did with my sketch.

The stamp is once again from Darcie's. Those little bears are adorable! I miss going to the shows and seeing them there!

The base card is Pixie Pink that I layered with Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and some DP from Heidi Grace. I stamped the image and colored it in with my watercolors, sponged some Pink Passion ink around that panel, then layered it on to Rose Red. For the top sentiment panel I used my SU! Scallop Circle punch, the designer label punch and the tab punch. I punched the edges with my slot punch and looped some ribbon around it, then secured it with crystal brads. Once everything was in place I added some stickles to the soap bubbles and I was done.

Sorry for the short post today ~ but I've got to look like I've done something today Ü And don't forget, I still have a few days left of my blog candy. I've added a T.A.C. set to the mix also!!

Have a great day!
Hugs,

Wanna sketch?

I thought that I would post a sketch for you today. Something to try, maybe while hubby watches the game on TV? That's if you don't watch it with him... I'd love to see what you come up with, if you do leave me a comment so I can check it out!
Have a great rest of the day!
Hugs,

A sketch to start off with

It's been a while since I posted a sketch that I thought it was due.

So, of course I had to make a card to fit the sketch. But I thought "hmmm." I wanted to make a card to fit the sketch in more than one way. So I flipped the sketch and made two cards!
















I used 3 different stamp sets to make this card. The card base is Pixie Pink. I covered it with a BG paper that was in my stash from a RAK I received. I then stamped the cake from Something to Celebrate and colored it in and layered on to a piece of Pixie Pink cs. I then stamped the saying "have your cake and eat it too" in Pink Passion ink from Many Happy Returns. I punched that out with my Word Window Punch. I then found some yummy paper from PSX (that I bought years ago) and layered that on to a piece of Pixie Pink and attached it to the card.

I then attached the word window piece and the cake to the card. Once I attached the cake it looked a little *blah* so I added some stickles. It made the cake stand out just a little more - and that was it. All done!

I hope that you enjoy my sketches. I am planning on in the near, not too distant future to have some blog candy up for grabs ~ but to enter I will have you make a card using one of my sketches. So stay tuned....
