this was something new for me - I have to confess it took me ages to work out how to get the base card the correct shape for Kazan's Sketch 26 challenge! But once I'd managed that I was very pleased with the basic shape. I have been far too conservative with my card shapes in the past and it was great fun having a go at something new.
It's been so long since I posted! But today I am feeling well enough to show you this wedding card. It's another digistamp - I am so into them at the moment and they are so reasonably priced!
I do try hard to vary my colour schemes but seem to migrate back to pink and green without realising. Anyhow, my brother's nuptials are fast approaching but first it's time for the bride's celebrations and as I couldn't make the Hen Night I thought a card was in order.
For once I have completed my project a few days before it is due! I am usually hoping the paint/ink/glue is really dry when I am handing the card over to the recipient! Anyhow, here is the card for my Mum made with a new digistamp which I love. I based my design on this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday.
For my dear friends, a wedding anniversary card. I shall never forget the date as my nephew was born on the same day as their wedding. This card, created from a variety of digikits, was put together in the early hours of the morning. I didn't have a lot of time to spend on it but was quite pleased with the result. Inspired by Friday Sketchers 43 sketch.
OK so I do seem to be going a bit overboard with pink and green at the moment, especially pink! Make mental note to use another colour palette soon! The gorgeous baby in pram is my first purchase of a digital doodle. I printed it out, coloured it with water colour pens and then used some chalk inks to colour the background. I am entering this card in the Sketch Saturday #41 challenge.
Actually whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter this must be my most used stamp (Brush Tulip by Rubbadubbadoo). As it happens it just fitted the space reserved for the image as I made the card in reverse to my normal way of working. I started with layering the background sheets, added the 'ribbon' and then worked out the space left for the central image. Different, but it seemed to work and I am entering the finished result in the Papertake Weekly Challenge.
