Friday Sketchers Challenge 84

Hi there

Hope you are all holding out well during this "white"weather...we seem to have escaped down here in Poole in Dorset, only about an inch...and yes even we ground to a halt down here...maybe we are southern softees !!!

I have had a go at the challenge at Friday Sketchers which I really liked when I first saw it...here is my card..

and here is a close up of her..isn't she just adorable...

I have used my copics in the following colours..

Dress -V12, V15, V17

Blouse - V95, V91

Parcel - RV000, RV10

Hair - Y21, Y28, YR31

The papers are called 29th Street Market and are My Minds Eye - (Picked up in Michaels in NJ)

I made the corsage by looping the ribbon and twisiting it with fine wire, adding the pearls strands and covering the joins with a flower from Craft Obsessions.

Because the front of the card is heavy and is having a few problems staying upright, I have decorated the inside as well...this is the first time I have done this and I have to say I am rather liking it !

Thanks for looking and for your comments

Hugs

Friday Sketchers Challenge Number 68

Well I have had a go at the Friday Sketchers Challenge 68 which can be found here and the image looks like this

and here is what I came up with...

I have used Crate Paper - Katlin range again which I adore...I have used the adorable Tilda and Edwin stamps which came from the Spring kit and coloured them using my prismacolour pencils. The butterflies have been decoupaged and have a stickles glaze over them...very twinkly ! I have also used a couple of pieces of cream lace and of course the obligatory swarovski crystals !!

 and another pic showing the decoupage elements better.  I have curled some wire and made her antenna and popped a crystal on the end of each one for that added sparkle.

Thanks for looking and I love to read your comments....bye for now...Jo XXX

I have attempted the challenge over on the Friday Sketchers Challenge Blog which can be found here..

http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/friday-sketchers-66-sponsored-by-simon.html

and here is my card...

I just love the colour combination of the Turquoise and the Orange...the paper is from Mt Minds Eye and is from the Bloom & Grow range. The stamp is the C C Swiss Pixie - Heidi who I absolutely adore. I have stickled her wings and I have used my Prisma Pencils to colour her....although I am getting a hankering for some Pro-Markers which I just can't ignore !!

Here is a close up of her...

Thanks for looking xxx
