Kazan sketch #13

Wahoo another fabulous sketch from 2 sketches 4 U, this week I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and I made a 'pick me up' card for an impending bride who is somewhat stressed, tearful and fragile at the moment (no it is not me!!!) so hopefully she will get it in the post tomorrow and it will be a nice little suprise for her as she is not expecting it and it brings a smile to her face.

I have used the Indulgence paper from the Sassafras Lass Serendipity paper range, I love the owls and hearts on it. It is a lovely bright and cheerful paper, I have also used Kaiser bling, Stampendous typewriter alphabet stamps, Versa color ink and Bazzill cardboard.
Rather than do a single fold card I did a tri fold card so the swirl on the original sketch is the hearts with the title and embellishment on the middle part of the card and the back part of the card is just covered with patterned paper ... I hope you like it!

Another christmas card

continuing on with my christmas card quest I have used Lauras' sketch from 2 sketches 4 U to create this card using papers from Sassafras (I love their papers!). I have also used clear vellum (behind the doves) to soften the effect of the paper and kindy glitz around the edging of the biggest dove. I can't wait until the next sketch ... they are a real help in creating my christmas cards for this year!!! Thanks for looking!

Kazans sketch #12

I thought I would start on some of my Christmas cards for this year so what better way to start on them with a very versatile sketch from 2 sketches 4 U - thanks Kazan for a fabulous sketch. I made a bell shaped card using the slightly different christmas scheme of pink and blue/green and have used Kaiser papers and bling, cosmo cricket and memory keepers rubons and bazzil cardboard.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Lauras Sketch #11

gosh this week has just flown by and I have done yet another fantastic sketch from 2 sketches 4 U. This card is based on a sketch done by Laura. I have used stamps and watercolour pencils and returned to my young school days to "colour in" the images!!! I have also use Core dinations cardstock and Daisy Bucket papers (I love the orange, green and brown combo!).

Thanks for looking.

Neil walked passed as I was making this card and said "crikey you are getting in early for a Valentines day card!!!" I just laughed and said no I wanted to use these little padded felt hearts and this was the perfect sketch for it!!!

So thankyou once again 2s4u for another excellent sketch from which to base a card on. Here is the end result, I have used really old paper from Urban Lily 2005, bazzil cardstock, brads and various ribbons.

Thanks for looking.

Lauras sketch #10

Here is card based on another fabulous sketch provided by laura from 2 sketches 4 U. A friend of mine her birthday is coming up so I took the advantage and made her a birthday card based on lauras' sketch.

I have used Sei and BG paper, Core dinations cardboard, heidi swapp ribbon and Grant archival stamp and last but not least I finally managed to use my new XL scalloped card sizzix die to make the card base - fabulous, better than hand cutting scalloped edges!!!

Thanks for looking!

window card -Kazans sketch # 10

For this weeks sketch from 2 sketches 4 U I decided to challenge myself and not use patterned paper so instead I turned to my trusty stamp collection and found one that I have had for a while and absolutely love using it - a window stamp. This a very plain card but I love the simplicity and clean lines of it! Thankyou for taking the time to look!
