The Crafty Pad sketch challenge card

Hi all

Here is my entry for the sketch challenge on The Crafty Pad following the sketch I posted about on 2nd August. I have turned the sketch and instead of adding a separate snetiment have put it on my stamped image (hope this is OK as she was a little bit too tall for the sentiment to go underneath!) The stamp is from WOJ (coloured in using my new promarkers and using Bristol Board which is the only card I have used so far which doesn't bleed at all), papers are DCWV Floral prints, lace I won in a recent sketch challenge from Tracey AKA Lalkygirl as is the flower, brads from stash!

Thanks as alway for looking and for any wonderful comments which I may receive... I truly do appreciate them!

Thank you card for my sons teacher

Hi all

Mixed weather today, started off lovely and sunny, then as soon as my washing was nearly dry the heavens opened! Now though it is hot and sunny again.... I can't keep up with it!

I have made this card following another sketch by Lee-Ann on Trimcraft.



Not sure what I did before I was introduced to working from sketches though as they make life so much easier when planning layouts.

I used the PC to create the backing paper text and coloured the text in using pencils and Whispers pens. When I had put the backing paper on the card my son kindly pointed out that I had missed number 5 off the bottom row... wonder if Mrs Pyke will notice! Whiff of Joy Oakley stamp was used and coloured in using watercolour pencils, usually he is holding a wooden plaque but today I made it into a blackboard, embellishments are die cut, ribbon another freebie from a magazine!



I am also entering it into the Whiff of Joy Challenge which is 3 patterned papers, 3 flowers and 1 ribbon, although I replaced the flowers with apples, I hope this is ok. If not I enjoyed making it anyway!

Thanks for looking and I welcome your comments.
