A Simple Thank You

I have the honour today of being a guest designer at The Crazy Challenge.  Their theme for the next two weeks is to give thanks.

I decided to make a simple thank you card using a purple and green theme.  the image you can see here is from SheepSki Designs called Freesia Vase and you can get these with 10% off by quoting code SKIANDREA10 on Etsy

 

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  The image has been cut out with a Spellbinders die and frames with black card stock.

I've only used black card stock and one design paper from Craft & You.

Embellishments are a wood chip Thank You sentiment, some silver dragonfly charms and some purple pearl gems

Beautiful flowers

Sponsored this month by our lovely teamy Anne Fenton - this is our new month of sketch inspiration at Outlawz

This beautiful flower image has been coloured with ProMarkers.

This is our sketch for this week

I've kept the design papers to a minimum with this one just using them for borders.  These are from Lemoncraft.  I've also used the same papers for the banners.

Around the image and the white card stock I've used a biro to doodle some borders.

The only embellishment I've used are some WOC flowers and a couple of green and pink leaves.

Hope you love my first inspiration for the month and hope to see you at the challenge

Beary good Christmas

Finally had a little time to colour up my latest new release image.  We had a competition in my SheepSki Designs Facebook Group - the name I chose was Ice & Cubes. You can find this image on Etsy - click here :D

At the moment I have a discount code running to give you 10% off - just quote SKIANDREA10 at checkout!

Ice & Cubes had been coloured with ProMarkers.  I've used slightly yellow tones around the edges to give the impression of depth and shadow on the white polar bears.

This was an image I wanted to showcase so I've created a one layer card.  There's some doodling with a biro round the edges to frame the image.

The textured snow has been created using snowtex.  The only thing I've added are some silver snowflake charms and a wooden hear Christmas sentiment from Hobby Craft

Hmmmm.... thinking I'd better start getting my skates on making Christmas card now we've not long left!

Bubble bath

October with Outlawz Sketch and Bloobel Stamps has been lost of Halloween fun!  This latest inspiration is using Hubble Bubble has been coloured with ProMarkers.  The edges of the image was distressed with antique linen ink from Tim Holtz before mounting onto some back card stock to frame it.

Here's our sketch for this week

I flipped mine round and instead of using ribbon I used an icicle die from Marianne Craftables - but I used orange design paper and turned it upside down to look like flames.

Instead of flowers I used a wood chip sentiment which I though went perfectly with the image.  I coloured it with ProMarker before sticking it to the card.

The design papers were all from Joy Crafts and the only other embellishment I used were a couple of black gems.

Hope you like my inspiration and hope to see you at the challenge
