Guess Who?

Evening everyone! Hope you are all keeping well?
My little man is 6 weeks old now and time is flying!
I have been doing the odd card but have not had time to upload them and make them pretty, unfortunately the sketches and other such challenges I have used for inspiration have long passed!

Anyway! One which is still going is the latest sketch at Retro Sketches!

I always love the sketches on this blog but have not had chance to enter the challenges to date!! But this week I have mwahaha and I will, well as long as Luke stays asleep long enough :D

My take on this sketch is a slight modification I replaced the ribbon at the bottom with the oh so trendy flags that I keep seeing everywhere! I saw the most amazing card by Jennifer Roach and fell in love with it!

My attempt this time needs a big modification but I only realised it AFTER I stuck all the fish tails down! They needed some dimension to work so its a little bit flat!

Anyway! Here is my creation!

The paper is a freebie stack from a magazine using Pink Petticoat papers. The image is from Designed 2 Delight called XXX isn't it just adorable! 

The sentiment is created in word using Janda Scrapgirl dot font. 

 

The image is coloured using distress ink and the luscious cake icing and the mouse nose and flower are finished off with glossy accents, my new favourite accessory!

I do like how this card turned out, I just think it would have looked so much better had I added dimension to those damn fish tails!!

Anyway I hope the card is close enough to the sketch to qualify and in the meantime I'll leave you with a little picture of my man :)







My Luke :)

until next time!

Random Creation Challenge

I've decided that I am going to have a new challenge for myself every week!
i have gained literally thousands of digital stamps and clipart sets since my discovery last year and so many of them sit there unused for various reasons!

But no longer!
Using the great Random.org I will take the random number and use the corresponding file in a craft project over that week... I think I'll do this on a Monday!

I dub this the great Random Creation Challenge

So this week Random.org has chosen number: 576

I will therefore be creating with the following:

This gorgeous creation is Kittens Big Heart by Designed2Delight You can see the set HERE
Be sure to check back for my creation in the week :)

EDIT: If anyone wants to join me in this feel free to grab the banner and use my random number or your own! Just let people know you heard about it here :) xxx

Love Ewe

Good afternoon crafters!

So continuing on my crafty weekend I have another card to bring you today... and hopefully a few more throughout the week!

My next creation is using a fantastic freebie image from Delightful Inspirations.

Every week you get a free image if you join in the challenge! Its Win Win :)

And the first week of every month the image is free to everyone... and this week is the adorable Ewe image used in my card below!

Such an adorable image isn't it!

The funky card design is taken from this fortnights Sketch and Stash challenge here:

A great sketch don't you think? So very versatile! And for this week my new stash is the cute Ewe Stamp making its appearance here!

And last but not least! This card also fits into this weeks challenge at One Stitch at a Time which is Love/Valentines. It is also worth mentioning here that they have their 1st birthday coming up and have lots of festivities planned!
