Waiting for the Sunflowers

Today is our new challenge day at SheepSki Designs in the Facebook group.

I've chosen to use Sunflower Border.  You can find it here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

This one has been a work in progress for a few few weeks.  I was hoping for some inspiration from the giant sunflowers in the garden, but at the moment all they're interested in doing is growing to monster size without any flowers!!  So this was more from imagination of what I'm hoping they will look like ;)

I've coloured the image with Copics, sprinkled a little embossing enamel around and added a Sunshine sentiment using a Tim Hotlz stocker and a tiny silver dragonfly charm.  The card is a single layer one to showcase the coloured image.

Thank for popping by for a look today, hope to see you at the challenge.

Today is our second day int he month sharing inspiration with Wendy's new images.

I'm using Butterfly Hair Do for my inspiration, you can find her here in Wendy's shop

I've coloured the image with Copics and sprinkled a little embossing enamel for a little butterfly magic.

The sentiment is made up from Tim Holtz stickers and my design papers from Lili of the Valley.

You can find more inspiration in the Facebook Group and on the challenge blog today.

We're sponsoring Outlawz Sketch this month at SheepSki Designs.

This time I'm using Buzzing for my inspiration.  You can find it here in the shop, where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout,

The image has been coloured with Copics, I've then had cut a circle and some black card to mat it.

This is our sketch for the next two weeks.

My design papers are from Hobby Craft and First Edition, I've also used some black card for the background.  The only embellishments to fit in with the sketch are three black pearls.

My little friend

It's the first of the month and our new Facebook Challenge at All Dressed Up has started.  This month we'd love to see your creations with hearts and / or flowers!

I'm using Little Ladybird, she's been coloured with Copics.  Around the image you can see some embossing enamel.

The the left of the image I've added a mix of paper flowers, some vintage seam binding and a tiny ladybird.  Here's a close up.

The design paper is from First Edition.  All the edges have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

I've double cut a banner with hearts using a die, then layered them up.  One of the tiny hearts that was cut out with the die I've added to the image.

Underneath the image is some lace, a sentiment from Tim Holtz, a wood chip heart in circles and some pearls complete the card.

Did you know we also have a blog challenge, you can find it here.

Thanks for popping by for a look today

Walkies of a different kind

I'd had this image planned for a while and with everyone stuck inside it made me think about dog walkers, so I decided to finish the image off.  Instead of walking a dog the gnome is walking a caterpillar, coz hey, how would a gnome be walking a dog.  I'm finding it a little too easy to get into the mind of a gnome (a little worrying perhaps!)

The image is called Walkies, you can find it here in the Etsy shop where you can get 10% off all the images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

The image has been coloured with Copics and the explore cut out with letter dies.

I've left the card clean and simple.

The design paper is from First Edition.  the top section has been cut with a die.

Thanks for popping by for a look today, hope everyone is safe and well

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

Hello.... ;)

We're sponsored by Createful Heart this month at Outlawz Sketch

I've used Dragonfly Hi for my inspiration.  The image has been coloured with Copics.  Once coloured I've added some embossing enamel and distressed the edges.

Here's our sketch for this week, which I've cheated a little on, but you can still see the influence of the sketch (I hope) :)

My design papers are from Hobby Craft and 13 Arts and I've also used some black card.

The banners were cut with a Fantasy die, I've added a few black gems and the Cheers sentiment coloured with Copics is from Make It Crafty.

Here in Yorkshire "Cheers" is another way for saying thanks if you didn't know already :)
