4 card mega post!

Hi! Long time no blog :-) As the title suggests, this is a pretty photo heavy, mega post. I've still been participating in The Daily Marker 30 Day colouring challenge over on my Instagram and over the weekend I sat down with some sketch challenges and turned some of them into cards. To keep it slightly shorter, I'll leave out all the supply lists but feel free to ask me if you want to know where something is from :-) Here goes...
This one is from Day 5 and uses the MFT colour challenge and the Fusion sketch -

This watercolour panel is from Day 6 and I've used The Challenge sketch -

This little cutie is from Day 13 and I've used The Paper Players sketch and the Friday Mash Up 'See Through' challenge with vellum to make my nieces birthday card -

And finally this card using my coloured image from Day 14 using the cupcakes theme from The Card Concept challenge and also 'Eggs or Ovals' theme from Just Add Ink. Thank you so much for looking if you made it this far :-)

Mothers Day Daffodils & Tulips

Hi again! I'm back to share this card I've made using this weeks Less is More challenge. It's a colour scheme of Yellow & Green - perfect for spring flowers :-) I've used some Clearly Besotted stamps & dies to make this little panel of daffs & tulips. To start off with I was just playing around with these stamps - I think I would have masked a bit more carefully from the start if I'd thought about it - oops ;-) I've loosely based it on this weeks Sketch Saturday sketch but I moved the sentiment a bit. Thanks for stopping in! xx

Supplies;

Stamps & dies - Clearly Besotted 'Spring Blooms'

Ink - Stampin' Up 'Daffodil Delight', 'Crushed Curry', 'So Saffron', 'Pear Pizzazz' & 'Garden Green'

Pencil colouring & butterflies

Hiya! I hope your Sunday is suitably lovely :-) If you follow my Instagram you'll see that I'm joining in with Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day colouring challenge. Basically to set aside a bit of time each day to colour something in. I'm failing already as I missed Day 4 yesterday but I'll be doing some soon :-)
On Day 1 I coloured in some pretty Hero Arts butterflies using Derwent Studio pencils in loads of different colours. These aren't like most pencils where you blend them to get a smooth look, these are meant to be a bit sketchy and textured looking, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I didn't know how I was going to use them on a card but then it saw this weeks ShowCase challenge of rainbow colours and decided to use them all on one card. And as if by magic, this weeks Freshly Made Sketch had room for them all! ;-) I also think this will fit this weeks Simon Says Stamp Girly challenge.
Thanks for looking, I hope you like it!

Supplies;

Ink - Versafine 'Smoky Grey'
Paper - October Afternoon 'Sidewalks'
Colouring - Derwent Studio pencils
Stamps - Hero Arts 'Antique Flowers & Butterflies'
Dies - Memory Box 'Classic Scallop' & Hero Arts 'Antique Flowers & Butterflies'
