Feeling Snappy......

It's Wednesday and time for our latest sketch challenge at Outlawz.

We've sponsored this month by All Dressed Up!

The sketch made me think about photos and I knew there was an All Dressed Up Girl with a camera :)

Here she is, Smile its your Birthday, you can find here in Wendy's shop here.

I've teamed her up with Perfect Day, Sight Seeing in Paris and Sea View.

This is our sketch for May.

The images were cut out with dies and matted onto black card.  Afterwards I though I should have done them as little polaroid photos, but it was a bit late haha

There are some scraps of paper in pink and blue, great way to use them up ;)
I've cut a heart out of the same pink scraps (Studio Light paper) with a die.  The sentiment was made from a Tim Holtz sticker matted onto a scrap of Sarntoro paper and some more black card (hand cut).

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

We're all goin' on a......

well it is that time of year, the kidz are breaking up from school.  

Someone said holidays to me a few weeks back, well that was it my mind went wandering off on seaside resorts and old style traditional British holidays.  Have you ever seen the beach huts that line some of our shores?

Any way, enough rambling, I've used Copics, a black polychromos pencil and a white gel pen to colour this image called Beach Hut Holiday.  You can find it in my Etsy shop here.  Quote SKIANDREA10 at checkout if you want 10% off ;)

Showcasing the image for you today, I've just framed it with some black card.

Happy holidays <3

Love Life

Today is out second lot of inspiration for the July new release images.

I've used Holiday Girl, you can find here her in Wendy's Shop.  She come with mix and match clothes, sunglasses, hat, sandals and sentiments.

I've coloured her with ProMarkers and then fussy cut her.  I got to thinking while I was at it wouldn't it be cool it she actually wore the sunglasses and hat.  It was a bit of a challenge but I managed it :D

The design papers I've used are from Lemoncraft and Studio Light and have been distressed.

The large Love Life sentiment is from Scrapienic.  I've also added a tiny wooden heart, some flowers and a few pearl gems.

Don't forget to check out the Facebook Group and the blog challenge for the rest of the inspiration.

Wish you were here

I have the honour today of joining Scrapping4Fun as a guest designer.  This theme is Travel / Holiday sponsored by Julia Spiri.

I've used Julia's Venice image for my creation.  The images has been coloured with ProMarkers, Copics and polchromos pencils and I've also added in a couple of flying birds into the background with biro.

I've made the image into a polaroid style picture, doodle a flower in the top corner and added a sentiment Wish you were here with a heart.  The black inside edge of this was done with biro.

The design papers you can see in the background are from Tim Holtz.  I've added one of his metal tags with journey on.  In addition to this there are two pieces of film strip, some black lace, black roses, stamen and some tiny wooden hearts.

Here's a close up so you can see better

Have a great day!

Holiday Time

It's my turn today to share some inspiration for All Dressed Up's new release images.  I got to use Sandy Beach.

This is such a fantastic image I decide to do it as a CAS card and showcase it.

I've used ProMarkers to colour this with.  If you look carefully you can see the sky is darker at the top.  I've been studying the sky lately to see if I can improve my colouring of it.

I've kept the beach and background muted to the pops of orange, green and blue really stand out.

I've drawn some faux stitching around the edge of the image so it's in keeping with Wendy's designs.  All I've used apart from this is a piece of blue card stock.

Just a reminder we've two challenges on the blog one which is ANYTHING GOES as long as you use an All Dressed Up image and the Facebook challenge the current theme is BLUE.
