New Pad

Here's little Drawn by Krista inspiration for you for this weeks new Outlawz Sketch challenge.  I've used Frog, Lilly Pad, Fly.

The Frog and Fly were printed together and cut out with a Spellbinders circle die.  I then mounted it onto some black card cut with a different Spellbinders die to frame it.  The Lilly I fussy cut to add but wasn't sure where I was going to put it straight away.

All the images have been coloured with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.

Here's our sketch for today

I've flipped mine so the flower border is the mushroom one at the bottom of the card.  I've used a Marianne Design die for this and coloured it with polychrmos pencils.

The design paper is from Joy Craft and if fab for making it look like a background with clouds and sky.

Instead of a zigzag border or ric rac I've just added a new pad sentiment to make it a new home

card :D

Hope you love my inspiration for today

So here he is all coloured up Slow Is Good was released in my shop last week.  You can find him here and get 10% off him and any of my other images by quoting SKIANDREA10

I've used Copics and polychromos pencils to colour him :)

I so love how he came out.

The sentiment was created at the time I printed him.  All I've done is mounted him onto some black card to frame him.  Nice and simple this time to showcase the image.

I'm honoured today to have been invited to be a GDT at Creative Craft Cottage.  Their current challenge theme is Christmas in July.

I coloured Winter Fairy from Fabrika Fantasy in monochromatic colours whilst I was on holiday in the Lake District, but had to wait until I was back to be able to make a card :)

I've used a mixture of Copics, Promarkers and polychromos pencils to achieve this look.

The distressed design papers are from Lili of the Valley and First Edition.  Underneath the image is some crafting gauze, at the bottom of the card some organza rose trim.  I added some pearl gems to the centre of the roses.  The small wooden Christmas sentiment was bought from Hobby Craft last year.

The spray of flowers are a combination of fabric and paper flowers  from Noor Designs and the Ribbon Girl.  The silver and pearly bead sprays from the wedding section in Hobby Craft.

I don't know if you've noticed there a re also three tiny brass bells painted white at the bottom of the flower arrangements.  Umm I think i got these from The Ribbon Girl.

Hope you love my inspiration - thanks for taking a look

Dreams

Little Girls and their dreams - sigh.  This beautiful little image from All Dressed Up called Time to Shine.  She my second inspiration for you for the July's Challenge at the All dressed Up Facebook Group themed Star and  / or Stripes.

I had my blue ProMarkers out to do the Zebra so I decided to do this one in blue too :)

I also still had my Maja Design papers out so I've used some more of these (talk about being lazy LOL!!)

The silver stars I've added were found in the wedding section at Hobby Craft.  They're actually table confetti - hee hee.....

The double silver star with the rhine stones in the top left hand corner is actually a charm that I got from The Ribbon Girl.

I've added a few pearl gems and to finish a wood chip sentiment from Scrapiniec that I though went perfectly with the image.

Hope you love my inspiration for today and we see you at the challenge

My first card I'm using the image Z is for Zebra.  He's a perfect cutie for making baby cards!

I've coloured the image with  ProMarkers.  He's then been cut out and distressed before I've doodled a border.

My design paper are all from Maja Design.

To keep with the Star theme I've added a couple of grunge board stars from Tim Holtz.

My final addition is a sentiment to complete the baby card.

Understanding

Based on Lolly Liz, I've created a new image showing a little understanding and love between a girl and a wild wolf.  You can find Understanding in my Etsy shop, where you can get 10% off my images by quoting code SKIANDREA10.

This is the image I've used for my inspiration post for the new SheepSki Designs Challenge on the bog.  The theme for July is Square Cardz!

   Just a heads up you don't have to use one of my images to enter, but if you do and you're a winner you an extra image.  The top three each get an image as well :)

Anyway onto how I created this.  I've coloured it mainly with Copics and a little polychromos.  I wanted a CAS card to showcase the image so I've just added some sequins and rhine stones for bling and interest.

My design papers are from Joy Craft and 13 Arts.  I've also used some plain black card.  The sentiment I've added was created using a Spellbinders die.

Hoe you love my inspiration and we see you either at the blog challenge.  If you've used one of my images you can enter your creations into my Facebook Challenges which are always themed Anything Goes.  If we have 15 entries for that the top three also get an image :D

Happy crafting lovelies
