My little love bug!

It's coming up to that crazy love season :)

So here I am showing off some little love bugs.  You can find this image here in my Etsy shop, it's just called Love Bugs.  You can get 10% off this and all my images on Etsy by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics, for a change not using anything as a reference but just going with how I felt leaves and twigs might look.

I've created a very simple card framing the image with black card.

Added to this are some heart buttons I've had in my stash for so long I can't remember where I got them from.  The sentiment it from some scrapbook paper I've also had in my stash forever!  I've just added a scrap of red card behind it to match the theme of the card.

Hope you like my inspiration <3

Just a simple card.....

We're sponsored by Beccy's Place this month at Outlawz Sketch.

She has some awesome images on her site.  The one I've used for my inspiration today is just called silhouette.  I thought it was just beautiful when I saw it.  It actually comes with a sentiment, which I've added to the inside of my card.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

I've printed the image on design paper from Lili of the Valley.  I've also used some black card and design paper from Joy Craft.

I've added some purple matching polkadot organza ribbon, some black gems and a sentiment made up from Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks for popping by today, we hope to see you at the challenge

Valentine Wild Flower

Our Facebook Challenge at SheepSki Designs starts today and closes on 19 February.  Our theme optional twist this time it "I LOVE...." this could be colours, embellishments, valentines, hearts etc.

I'm using one of my new images Wild Flower today for my inspiration, you can find him here on Etsy and get 10% this and all our images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've made an alternative kind of Valentines card with no hearts or read :)

When I originally did this image he was holding a heart balloon.  My hubby actually gave me inspiration on this one, he said "where would he have got the ballon?"  So I changed it to him holding a wild flower he might have just picked from a garden.

The image has been coloured with Copics and a black polychromos pencil, my warm greys have run out of ink so I needed to top his beard and tash up :)

I did my usual, looked for the design paper after.  Amazingly this was in the first paper pack I picked up on the first page!  It's from First Edition.  I've also used some black card and an XOXO sentiment.

Thanks for popping by for a look today.  We hope to see some of you in the challenge

Mr Spaceman

Our Outlawz Sketch challenge is being sponsored by Beccy's Place this month.

I've chosen to use the Astronaut and Alien from Out of This World stamp set for my inspiration this time.

The image has been coloured with Copics and I've also used a white paint pen for the stars.

The image and the green glitter paper were out with Spellbinders dies.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

As well as using black card I've used design papers from First Edition.

The finishing ouches are some silver glitter stars that I got from Hobby Craft and a friend sentiment from Make It Crafty colour with Copics.

Hope you like my inspiration for this week and we see you at the challenge

Something a little girly for the new year

Welcome to 2020 and the first All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge of the year.  We're going a little girly for our first one with the theme "Make it GIRLY!"

For my girly inspiration I'm using one of the Crafteezee stamps - What to Wear, you can find it here.

I've coloured the image with Copics then fussy cut it out.  Behind the image you can see papers cut with Spellbinders stamps.  I've also used a vintage metal flourish I've had in my stash forever.

Here's a closeup section of my flowers so you can see the 3-D effect.  this one will have to go in a box with some tissue paper when I post it.

Full view of the whole card next.  My design papers are from Maya Design, Lemoncraft and 13 Arts.  All the papers have been edged with vintage photo ink from Tim Hotlz.  

The What to Wear sentiment from the stamp has been cut out with a die, the mounted onto 13 Arts design paper cut with a die from the same set.  The tiny aqua heart is from the stamp set which I cut out by hand.

In between the design papers you can see a section of cream lace.  I've also used some pearl gems to finish the card.

Here's the card with a few of the things I used to create it.  Hope you like my inspiration for today
