Hi everyone!!!


Made a card last night to link at the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!!!!  The sketch:

 and my card:

Used my Tim Holtz chevron die to cut a stencil.
Sentiment stamp from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.
Added some dots with a white gel pen.



I made another card, using a different sentiment:

Sentiment stamp from PTI.

The sponging I've done with Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade DIs.   I've seen a card by the talented Loll Thompson, on her blog, Stamping with Loll, where she had used these two colours together and I loved it!!!  So credit for the colours I have worked with, goes to Loll - thanks Loll!!!


That's it for now!!!  Thanks for popping in - your visits and  comments are appreciated so much!!!

Hi everyone!!!!


Made a card this morning to link at the Freshly Made Sketches Blog!!!!  This is the lovely sketch for the week:

 

and my take on it, flipping it upside down:

Strelitzia and shadow stamps from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.  I love how the Strelitzia does not stamp a solid image.  I've heat embossed it.
I've got two scorelines below the sentiment strip.

Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Heartfelt Condolences'. 

 This is what a Strelitzia looks like in nature:

You can see why I worked with orange and purple on my card.

I will leave you with that for today!!!!  Such a joy having you spend some time with me!!!!!  Hope to see you again soon!!!
