Cards und More

Good morning.

Its Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at Cards und More. This time we have a sketch challenge for you.

I tried lots of different ways to interpret the sketch but ended up with this.

I used my Lea,bilities frame square to surround a sky scene made by masking cloud shapes and inking using broken china DI. The circle I interpreted as my Tilda  with lovely lace shoes. A bit of a twist from the expected I think.

The background DP's are from NitWits and I used Copics to colour as follows-

Hair E42,44,47,35,Y21 

Skin E000,00,11,13,R20

Top  Y11,2126

Shoes and trousers RV91,93,95,99

Metallic card to match and flowers from the stash, all on a 6 x 6 white base card. I love to use all those scraps that are left over from various projects. My friend Di laughs that I hoard all those odds and ends, one of the girls who ran the class we went to used to give me all the unused bits and bobs before I could ask! When the box I keep them in is overflowing or I've run out I sit watching the telly punching flowers out. The centers of the flowers are also saved from the out cuts from a lace punch.

OK, so that's my interpretation what will your's be? Pop over and see what the rest of the DT and GDs have made to inspire you and then have some fun.

I shall enter it in the following challenges -

Photo Inspiration

Good morning.
Another Saturday so it's time for another challenge at Fantasy Stampers. This week the lovely Jan chose:-

A photo

Very pretty it is too. with Easter on the horizon I could have gone down that route but I decided to go off piste so to speak with my DT inspiration.

The link to the photo are the tulips and roses. In my card the background paper is of pink tulips on a yellow ground from NitWits and Tilda with a cross necklace carrying a single pink rose. There are also roses on the mount which I created with a Cuttlebug embossing folder after die cutting a circle with a Spellbinders die. The mount was cut smaller than the 6 x 6 base card and mounted on pads. This type of design is great for using odd bits of paper I have lying around in the bit box. I matched the colours in the tulips with Tilda's clothes and rose. I used Copics to colour as follows:-

Hair - E51,25,29,35,71

Dress - RV91,93,95,97

Shoes - RV91,93,95

Skin - E000,00,11,13,R20

Bow and Rose - RV000,02,04 YG11,13,17

Cross - Y11,15,17

So why don't you pop along to Fantasy Stampers and see what the other lovely DT's have created then have a go yourself.
