Christmas Kitty

It't Outlawz Sketch time, we're sponsored this month by All Dressed Up :)

I've chosen to use Christmas Kitty for my inspiration, you can find it in the shop here.

I've kept the colour pallet simple using mainly green with a pop of red.

The image and white mat behind it were cut using Spellbinders dies.

This is out sketch for the next two weeks.

My design papers are from Studio Lite and Lily of the Valley.  There's a section of lace from my stash and a couple of glittery green enamel gems to finish.

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

It's Sketch Time again at Outlawz, SheepSki Designs is sponsoring them this month :)

I've decided to use Bartholomew for my inspiration, I just felt like colouring some Steampunk, no reason other than I love Steam punk :)  You can find him here and get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout,

The image has been coloured with Copics, I've then fussy cut it to go onto the card (the whiskers were a nightmare!)

This is our sketch for the next two weeks.

The design papers have been edged with Tim Holtz Vintage Stain in to give the grungy effect.  My design paper from my stash are from Tim Holtz, Hobby Craft, Studio Light and ummm something else.  I knocked a big pile of paper over yesterday while I was working, unfortunately they got mixed up and I don't know which pad one of them is from - sorry.

I've only used one tine embellishment, some tiny brass Steampunk goggles :D

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

Be Beautiful

This is my second inspiration at Outlawz sketch for the month using our sponsor Leigh SB Designs images.  This one is called Cleo, you can find here here.

I've coloured the image with Copics then distressed the edges using Tim Holtx Vintage Photo ink.  I've also scattered two colours of embossing enamel around the edges.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks

My designs papers (some which have been distressed) are from 13 Arts and Prima Marketing.  I've also used some black card for framing,

Instead of flowers on the sketch I've used two small vintage metallic corners.  The only other thing added is a sentiment "be beautiful" made up from Tim Holtz stickers.

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

I've finally found some time to create something with Bartholomew, you can find him here int he shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics.  Once I'd done this I decided to create a grungy Steampunk background using a DecorArt stencil and some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink.  Added to this some embossing enamel.

Added extras, some Tim Hotlz stickers (very appropriate working for the person I've created this card for).  A few Tim Hotlz metallic cogs to do with the Steampunk theme.  Two wooden 55 numbers that I got in Hobby Craft ages ago and a Celebrate wooden banner that I was sent as a crafty gift.

Hope you like my inspiration for today

I'm using Puddles of Kitty Love from Knitty Kitty Digis today, they're sponsoring us at Outlawz Sketch this month.

AND if you haven't noticed it's Christmas Day today so I hope you all have a great one!

I've coloured the image with Copics then cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  The edges have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

Behind the image the design paper has been cut in a scalloped circle with another Spellbinders die.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

My design papers from Lemoncraft have also been distressed with the Tonic Solutions tool.  The paper flowers are a selection from my stash and I've also used some pearls.

The sentiment you can see here in one from Make It Crafty and was the last thing I added.

All cuddled up for Christmas

Wow can you believe it's nearly half way through December already!   I just need to make a few final quick Christmas cards if I can find time :)

Today is our new Sketch Challenge day at Outlawz, our sponsor for this month is Knitty Kitty Digis.

I'm using CatNap for my inspiration today and have managed to go all Christmas with the image hee hee....

I coloured it with Copics going for a monochrome look, I just did one tiny pop of pink on the cats nose.

The images was cut out with a Spellbinder die and distressed with Vintage Photo ink fro Time Hotlz.  I've then cut some design paper from Lili of the Valley using another scalloped Spellbinders die.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

My tree design papers is from Lili of the Valley.  I've added a wooden tree embellishment and some Scrapberry gems in chocolate brown.

The banner I printed and then cut out diagonally to go across the card.  Once taped on I drew on the paw prints :)

Hope you like my inspiration for the challenge and we see you there

Did you know Passionate Paper Creations & Friends are having a challenge.  It's to make get well cards using images by the groups sponsors.  This one happens to be one from Di's Digi Stamps.  She's created this freebie especially for the challenge.

I've coloured the image with Copics and kept the design very simple.  We thought we might have to give the card while the person was in hospital so I didn't want any extra bits like glitter etc.  It turned out to be a single layer card in the end.

The sentiment was created at the time I printed the image.

All Wrapped

I've decided to make another Christmas card for my latest inspiration at Outlawz Sketch.  I've had this image from our current sponsor, Createful Heart, for a little while but never had chance to use it.

It's called It's a Wrap, you can find the image here.

For a change I picked my papers first, then coloured it with Copics to match.  I've tried to add in a blue glow from the Christmas lights and a wooden floor.  All in non traditional Christmas colours,

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks

My design papers are from First Edition.  All the papers and the image have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

I went hunting in my Christmas embellies boxes and found this Christmas pudding ribbon.  Not even sure where I got it I've had it that long!

The sentiment was bought from Hobby Craft last week (they're starting to get their stock in).  I coloured this with Copic as well to fit in with the theme.

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

Early Christmas

Good morning, I'm here to share my GDT creation for CRAFT today.  We're sponsoring them this week.  Their theme is Christmas, humorous.  Perfect for me because I'm trying to get ahead with my Christmas cards :)

The image has been coloured with Copics, I've printed it large so I could create a CAS card.

The sentiment was printed at the same time as the image.  I love you... and I love meuw! come with the image.
