My Little Superstar!

The Little Superhero in my life has his birthday coming up so I had the topic of my card sorted out. I used The Sketchy Challenges #59 sketch as my layout & the gorgeous La-La Land Crafts StarBoy Luka as my focal point.

As my little Superhero is turning 3 I chose to interpret the 3 circles on the sketch as stars (to match with the star on StarBoy Luka's top). When putting it all together I felt it needed to have a second strip of chevron washi tape to balance it. All paper is from the BasicGrey Bowties paper pad & distressed & edged with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. StarBoy Luka is coloured with the following Copics (Skin: E00, E01, E02 Hair: Y23, YR23, E35 Top & Mask: YR14, YR16, YR18, YG13 Cape: Y00, YG01, YG13 Pants & Cuffs: BG11, BG32, BG45 Shoes & Belt: E25, E27, E29, C1, C3, C5).

Autumn Colours in Spring

I'm really enjoying this new world of card challenges as its given my cards 'new life' & gives me such a great starting/focal point, but also enables me to see so many other very talented peoples' work!

For this card I'm again using Retro Sketch #87 as my inspiration along with Magnolia Down Under's challenge of Autumn Vintage (although its spring here in Australia!)

I used the Romantic Tilda stamp & coloured her in with the following Copics (Skin: E51, YR00, E11, R20, Hair: E37, E39, E59, Dress Hat & Shoes: YR00, YR14, YR16, YR18, Umbrella & Flowers: RV10, RV23, RV29, G94, W5, W3).

Materials used include all paper from Grace Taylors 'Playtime' scrapbook pad, all edged with my favourite Distress Ink Vintage Photo, scollop punches from cardstock to make the flowers & dies for the fence & heart.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wedding Congratulations

After finding out that a relative of my husband is getting married this weekend, a cram session last night once the kids had finally gone to bed to make a delicate card for the happy couple. I used Retro Sketches #87 to base my card on. I wanted to use a peacock feather as a focal point & for something different I rotated the sketch too.

My background paper & strip are from the KaiserCraft Blae & Ivy paper pack. The stamp I used to cut out was the Kaszazz Mannequin on ivory cardstock & the bodice was on KaiserCraft Elegance paper. I also used a very sheer ivory tissue paper (found in my stash so not sure where it originated from) as the other main layer on the sketch (although its slightly difficult to see in the close up below).

All paper elements are edged with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. The card is finished off with a little bit of ribbon on the bodice & some classic wedding pearls.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by & having a look.

Clean & Simple sketch

I had a short amount of time tonight & decided to check out some sketch challenges. I came across a great clean & simple sketch #51 from CAS(E) this sketch. I interpreted this sketch pretty liberally with my focal point, sentiment & simple embellishments. Materials used were blue & white cardstock, Sugar & Spice Dinosaurs & Robots paper pack, Kaszazz Circle of Life stamps with turquoise Vivid ink, circle dies & star stickers.

Thanks for stopping by & checking out my work.
