Sketch & Stash Challenge #8

This my last GD creation for Sketch & Stash, I'd just like to thank Becky, Cathy, Chrissie and Lisa for making me feel so welcome and I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week slot as a GD.

There is a terrific sketch to follow for challenge #8 and the DT have some amazing creations for you, here is my GD creation.

The digi-stamp is by Chris Dark and it's the first time I've used it, coloured with H2O's and a waterbrush, I've also used green and blue ink pads around the edges of the image. Sentiment is stamped. Papers are all, yes you guessed it, K&Co..lol, finished with some card candy.

I made this card for Clare's husband, if you know Clare's blog you may have seen that she was asking for birthday cards for her hubby, who is feeling a bit down at the moment and didn't want to bother with his birthday, well us crafters are always happy to oblige, so I hope Dean had a fantastic birthday!!

Below is this weeks sketch to follow, you are free to add the sentiment and any embellishments wherever you choose on your creation.

Sketch and Stash Challenge #7

I'm so thrilled to have been invited by the Sketch and Stash team to be their guest designer for the next two challenges and today is the start of their latest challenge. For this challenge it's an open sketch, follow the layout but we're letting you put your sentiment and embellishments wherever you wish.

The DT have done some wonderful creations, so please take a look, very inspiring.

Here's the sketch:

I've used one of the new 'Flourishing Flowers' downloads from Spiral Whisper and an Amy Butler paper from K & Co. I've coloured the image with copics and black sakura stardust on some of the flourishes then chalked the background in green. Ribbon from my stash, sentiment from craftwork cards, then embellished with some card candy and black gems.

I do hope you'll be able to join the challenge, and this week the team are looking for their next GD to follow me for challenges 9 & 10.
