Feeling Sketchy #100

 

I haven't been posting much lately but I did manage to get my dt card made for the Feeling Sketchy Challenge Blog. I used lots of bling on this card and don't know if you can notice in the photo but even the butterfly is all glittery. I didn't have any transfer paper on hand so I used "Book Cover Film" to transfer the bling to the card. Worked a treat.

 

This is the sketch we had as inspiration.

Bloom Where You are Planted

 

This sadly will be my last post as a Design Team member for the Imagine That! Challenge and Inspirational Blog. I have decided to step down as I have so many other interests I want to pursue that something had to go. I want to thank Kris for the wonderful opportunity to be a member of her team and to work with her adorable images. The last 12 months has been a blast.

 

Todays image is from the "Bloom where you are Planted" set and is available here. The "grass" and "leaf swirl" were both cut using the Silhouette Cameo. Coloured with Copics and Prismacolor pencils

He loves me.. he loves me not...

I am not a great "shabby chic" style card maker but I wanted to try and achieve that look for my Feeling Sketchy DT card this week. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. This beautiful stamp is from the "Across the Miles" unmounted rubber stamp plate by Non Sequitur.

In The Tree Tops

 

I used a file that I purchased from the Silhouette Store for the background of this card to give the impression the "ladybug" was swinging in the tree tops. Not sure I have achieved the look I was going for but I'm pleased with how it turned out. The image is from the "Ladybug on Swing" set and is available from the Imagine That! online store.
