Papertake Sketch 61

Hi all hope you are well.
We're having a lazy day today, It's half term, My
14 year old is still in his pit. My daughter is 
watching Angus, thongs and perfect snogging,
it's 11 o'clock and I'm sat here at the 
computer still in my Pj's.
I might stay in them all day,
let's just hope there's not a knock
at the door Lol.

Well it's time for another Papertake

Weekly Challenge again, and this week

we have one of Dawny's fabulous 

sketches to follow.

Hi all hope you are well, I've woken up this morn

full of a cold and a sore throat, Blurr.

I was ok last night, my throat felt a bit dry but i

felt fine, i can't believe how quick it hit.

I don't know about you but i always seem to

get something yucky when the kids are on

school hols, i suppose that's better,i don't have 

to drag myself out of bed to early.

Got Two cards for you today so bear with me.

Ha Ha I've just realised Bear with me! (Teddy Bea)

the fabulous Dawny

 

I've rotated it 90 degrees it seem to fit better.

I've used another Teddy Bo image coloured

with Polychromos pencils.

I have used some free papers i got with issue 84

of Simply cards and papercraft mag.

They are called Picnic in the park from Serif.

I only buy the mags when they have a good free gift.

The sentiment is a woodware stamp on a 

Nellie die. The image is on one of the new

wonky rectangle nestie's.
Flower is made with a Marianne creatables die.

I have used Antique linen distress ink on the edges.

The leaves are cut with my slice machine.

My second card is for two challenges

Basic Grey - Shabby Chic

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch

I've had a root through my sugar nellie stamps 

again and settled on this cutie from Elisabeth Bell.

I also dug out these Basic Grey Too Scoops papers

that i have had in my stroking pile, i'm

determined to use them all up.

I love the ice cream colours of these papers.

I have used Promarkers to colour her in.

Tulip yellow, Buttercup, primrose,

Pastel green, soft green, apple,

pale pink, cocktail pink,

blush, ivory, sun kissed pink and

caramel.

The Shabby chic flower is made with a

Marianne creatables flower die,

i have sanded it to give it a distressed look.

The swirls are also Marianne creatables.

I have used a Martha Stewart corner punch

to make photo corners for my image to sit in.

The sentiment is computer generated.

Ribbon is seam binding from the ribbon girl.

Phew are you still with me, good cause

A Good Book

Hi all back to normal fighting fit my colds gone hurrah!!
I've not been crafting much this week, the kids are on school hols
and the weather has been glorious.
looking through this weeks challenges
i decided to make this card.
It combines two challenges Passion for Promarkers and the
new Sugar Nellie challenge.

Passion for Promarkers has the theme Books and
the sugar bowl has a sketch and also a colour
combo of Black, White and Pink.

It's the first time i have used black to colour something other than hair
It was quite tricky to blend it with the grey i got a lot of bleeding onto
her arm and being dark it's quite hard to cover up.
I decided to cut it out and decoupage it that made it look
better.

The stamp is a good book from sugar nellie.
the backing papers are from popcorn bear CD Rom.
I have used a nesti shape cut out of an old book page and
used distress ink around the edges
The flowers are prima and the butterfly is from a spellbinders die
and glittered round the edge.

I think I'll go outside and have a potter in the garden
