Watering mushrooms

A new month and we're lucky to have The Paper Shelter sponsoring us at Outlawz Sketch for June.

I've chosen to use A Well Kept Garden for my inspiration.

The image has been coloured with Copics, I've then framed it with some black card.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks

I've used some more black card for the back ground and used design paper from StudioLight.

Instead of a ribbon and embellies like the sketch I decided to use my mushroom die strip to go with the image :)

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

Reading a good book.....

Today is our new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.

I'm using Time to Read for my inspiration.

I've coloured it with Copics making a scene for a simple one later CAS card.

All I've added is a sentiment made up from Tim Holtz sticker saying "A little me time".

We have more inspiration in the Facebook Group and the challenge blog by the Dressy Girls today.  Hope you'll pop by for a look

Not your normal gnomes

So for some reason I seem to be having a pick or purple mushroom thing.  I think it's because every time I want to colour them red but think do something different.  So today we have a pale purple one :)

This image is called Giant Mushroom, it's either that or these are not normal gnomes and they're miniature ones haha....  You can find the image here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

However, if you're lucky enough to be reading this shortly after my post and check out this Kit & Clowder post link you might just find yourselves a bigger discount code!

I've coloured the image with Copics, keeping the card CAS style today to showcase the image, I've added a "me n you" sentiment with Tim Holtz stickers and a bit of sparkle with a few sequins and sparkly enamel dots.

My design paper is from First Edition and I've used a bit of skinny purple ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for popping by for a look today :)

Butterfly Bunny

I'm using the adorable Butterfly Bunny from All Dressed Up for our challenge inspiration in the Facebook Group.

This month we'd love to see your layered creations.

I've coloured the image with Copics then cut it out with a stitched die I got from Dies to Die for.

There's also a tiny pink banner cut with a Fantasy Die at the top right of the image.

My layers of design papers are from Maya Design and Lemoncraft.

A few scattered paper leaves and flowers, some pearl gems and a kindness sticker from Tim Holtz complete the card, these were all from Hobby Craft.  

Don't forget we also have a blog challenge, you can find it here.

You can see more inspiration from the Dressy Girls in the Facebook Group.  Hope to see you there.

Hooray it's your birthday.....

Finding a little extra crafty time at the moment is a little tricky, but I've managed to at least colour up Wine Time.  You can find this image here in the shop where you can get 10% off all the images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

The image has been coloured with Copics.  Left simple to showcase the image, I've used some design paper from Wild Rose Studio that I've had in my stash for years, called Man About Town

Also in my stash were some burgundy sparkly enamel dots, perfect colour for the colouring :)

I've also added a Hooray sentiment, coloured with Copics, inside I'm going to write "It's your Birthday!"

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

Cool Cat

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
