Christmas Surprise

 Welcome to our SKETCH Challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls!   Our sponsor for this challenge is Colour of Love .

This image is Christmas Surprise and I started off by pulling out my Copic markers to color it up.

After coloring the image I picked out some papers from the Be Merry collection by Pink & Main and started putting my sketch interpretation together.  The snowflake border was made using the die-cut Snowflake Border by Lawn Fawn.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creations!

Coffee Break For You

 It's time for another fun and fab challenge at Creative Knockouts!  Our theme for this challenge is Anything Goes.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Sheepski Designs  and the lucky winner will receive 3 images of their choice!

This image is Coffee Break and I used Copic markers to color the image.  After coloring I found a sketch that I decided to follow and used papers from Sweater Weather by Lawn Fawn for the layers.  I added the coffee ring by using a stamp from the Coffee Break #1 collection by Inky Antics and the sentiment is from the Simple Sentiment Strips collection by Whimsy Stamps.

Autumn Hugs

Welcome to our new SKETCH Challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls!   Our sponsor for this challenge is Digi Doodle Studios!

This adorable image is Opal  and considering fall is upon us, I colored the image with Copic markers, using rich autumn colors.  After making the layers I started die-cutting multiple "hugs" then glued them together for some dimension and finished it off with Nuvo drops. The paper is from Sweater Weather by Lawn Fawn, definitely one of my fave paper packs.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creations!

This image is Summer Winds and it comes with both digital stamps, jpg and png as well as color versions and backgrounds!

I used Copic markers to color the image and also to create the background.  The sentiment is from Magic Messages by Lawn Fawn which I stamped with VersaMark and white embossing powder.  After set with a heat gun I blended Spice Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks to create the "sun".

You Color My World

Welcome to our January Sketch Challenge at Creative Sketchy Girls!   The lucky winner will receive a special surprise from our own Claudia and Lisbeth!

Last year I purchased June's Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp and decided to pull it out to create my version of our January sketch. The kit was fabulous, full of stamps, paper, die-cut, stencil and embellies.

I used the rainbow die-cut on the rainbow then used Distress Oxide Inks to blend the colors of the rainbow with mini daubers.  The clouds were stamped on paper that I had distressed blue then fussy cut them out.  The papers were also part of the kit  

I used some shimmer mist on the rainbow and clouds and once they were dry I started planning the layout.  A couple of the clouds have pop-dots and the finishing touch was adding some bling to the rainbows.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creations!

Happy Piggy Birthday

Creative Sketchy Girls has a new challenge this month and we have a fun sketch for you to play with for the next 30 days!

Sponsors for this challenge is our own Claudia and Lisbeth and they have a special surprise for the winner!

The image I chose is Pig - Birthday Cupcake.  I used Copic markers to color the image then paired it up with papers from the Party Time Collection by  Doodlebug Designs.  I used star die-cuts for the birthday sentiment then started creating my layers including using blue ribbon as a layer.  To finish it off I added some enamel dots in the corner.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek and I look forward to seeing your sketch interpretations!

Welcome - Two Meanings

 Not only did I create a card to welcome a new arrival, I've been welcomed into a new design team, Creative Sketchy Girls!  I'm excited to be a part of this amazing team and to get my creativity flowing with some fun sketches they have planned throughout the year - I hope you join in the fun!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Sheepski Designs and this darling little image is Little Heart.  I used Copic markers to color the image and used Spellbinders to create the ovals, regular and scallop.  To create the layout, the papers I used are from It's a Boy from Carta Bella.  

If you follow my posts, you'll know I don't really like making shaker cards but I decided to give it another shot.  One of my pet peeves is that the elements inside always fall to the bottom and to me the effect is lost.  This time I added some clear glue on the paper so some of the sequins would stay in place. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you join us for our Sketch challenge, I look forward to seeing your creations!
