Card Sketch Time

It is card sketch time at Come and Get It Challenges with week and this is my card I created for the challenge.

This is the sketch I used for my card. 

The image I used for my card is by Sami Stamps and is called Little Flower Fairy which I coloured with Copics.   The designer paper I layered my card with  is by DCWV Paper Products. To complete my card I added a flower, trim around the image with Distress Ink and a sentiment.

It's Always Time for Tea

I found these cute digital images by Bloobel Stamps. Lisa the owner and design has a wonderful quirky sense of humour. Check her stamps out on Esty at Bloobel Stamps.   This image is called My Cup of Tea.

My card is mainly coloured with PanPastels and Copics.  I added texture to the card by using a stencil with my Panpastels in the background. The sentiment is computer generated. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.  

Enjoy a Cup of Christmas Joy

"Frame It" is the challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week and I have made this  card using a digital image from Sami Stamps called Hot Cocoa Friends. 

I thought the image was set off with the frame. I used a die set to create the frame, coloured my image with my Copics, added a sentiment and some pearls to complete the card.  

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  

Card in Silver and Blue

This is my card for this week's challenge at Craft CardMakers.  This challenge theme is punches and/or dies.

I used a stencil and modeling paste for the background of my card then splattered the background with Brusho.  The die cut leaves were run through an embossing folder and then painted with blue and silver paint.  To complete my card  I added some small gems and sequins after I arranged my card.
