Timeless

Its new challenge day at Outlawz Sketch, this month we have no sponsor, so I've chosen to use an image from Conie Fong called Lavender's Blue.

The image has been coloured with Coics, then fussy cut to go onto the card.

This is our sketch for April.

I've chosen to do a clean styles card just cutting some design paper from Hobby Craft in similar colours to the image with a Spellbinders die to mat the image onto.

I've added a simple sentiment using a Tim Holtz sticker.  No embellies or anything, so unlike me ;)

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

In the snow

The theme for this weeks Christmas card is pink and white, however because penguins are "usually" black I've done this one a pale grey to blend in with the pink but not be too over powering.

This little guy has been coloured with Copics, it's from Connie Fong called Dancing in the Snow.  I've actually found my liquid pearls now we've moved and I'm starting to get things sorted, I've used this to highlight the snow.

My designs papers from Teresa Collins and the image have all been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

Three glitter wooden snowflakes and a white wooden Noel sentiment finish off the card along with a section of snowball trim :)

Hope you like my Christmas card for this week

Some wood chip banners from Scrapienic, some black gems and a small wooden heart sentiment from Hobby craft complete the card.

We've reached U at The ABC Challenge which is for Unconventional.  We'd like to see your Christmas cards but NOT in traditional colours :D

We're sponsored by Conie Fong this time and I've used her image Sally and Snowball.  Last time I used them I did them in red and white so thought I'd see what they looked like in pastels.

I've used ProMarkers to colour them, then fussy cut the image out.

The design papers are from First Edition.

For the hilly snowy scene and trees I've used some white card stock cutting it with Spellbinders dies and Marianne Creatables.

The edges of these have been distressed with Milled Lavender ink from Tim Holtz and lashings of DecoArt glitter.

The silver glitter sentiment is a wooden embellishment from Hobby Craft.  I've doodles a biro border and added three tiny silver gems

Love to see you at the challenge with you non traditional Christmas cards

Three

Can you believe we're onto T already at the ABC Challenge?  For this one we'd like to see three of something on your creations.

We're sponsored this month by Marianne Design so you could alway use three die cuts like me :D

For my three theme I've used three papers, three butterflies, three black gems, three purple gems and three colours of purple flowers. 

I've used an image from Conie Fong called Leilani coloured with ProMarkers.  She's been cut out with a Spellbinders die and edges with Miler Lavender ink from Tim Holtz.

The design papers are Lili of the Vally, Joy Crafts and plain black paper.

Here's a close up of the flowers I've used from The Ribbon Girl and some wood chip elements from Scrapienic.

The butterflies were cut out using some Spellbinders butterfly dies.  I've used two papers and glued them together before mounting onto the card.

My final embellishments are a love sentiment from Scrapienic and some purple and black gems.

Love to see what you come up with

Wow can you believe how fast this year is going.  September today!  The new challenge we have at the ABC Challenge is O if for Open.  Meaning...... ANYTHING GOES ladies!

This challenge is sponsored by Conie Fong and Bunny Zoe, Conie's images are so beautiful - this one you can see here is Lavender's Blue.  I've coloured it with proMarker and added a little black polychromos for extra shading.

Around the image you can see some emossing enamel.  The edges have bee distressed before mounting onto some white card stock.

The design papers are from First Edition, Studio 75 and Maja Design.  Some of these has been distressed as well.

Behind the image you can see a heart doily.  At the top of the card a flat back pearl string and at the bottom some organza rose trim which I got from Wild Orchid Crafts.

There's a mixture of flowers from The Ribbon Girl and Wild Orchid Crafts.

My final additions two silver dragonfly charms and some pearl gems.
