The sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs Friendship Blooms

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT Sketch 296

 Hello everyone, I am here to share my first card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month, I am mindful that I haven't shared the second one for last month yet but I will share it soon.

This month is my 10 year annivaersary with SSW2, there have been a few changes over those years but I am happy to still be part of the team.

Here is the card I made for sketch 296

I made a 7 x 3 and a 1/4 inch card blank from some turquoisy-green cardstock. The paper is Nitwits Promises from an LOTV pad and the vellum is from Craftwork Cards and is probably about 20 years old.

The flower images are from Julie Hickey Designs Blooming Gorgeous stamp set and I stamped the image 3 times (I also rotated it) and coloured it with Spectrum Noir markers.

The sentiment came from Julie Hickey Designs Daisy Blooms stamps set.

Here is the sketch which I rotated anti-clockwise

If you feel inspired the challenge runs until the 4th of March

I would like to enter my cards in the following challenges

Critter Crazy #95 DT card

 

January was a particularly busy month in the Paper and Ink house not least because I ran a class at my stitchy group to make needlebooks and there was lots of prep needed but here we are at the 1st of February so it's time for me to share my DT card for Critter Crazy Challenge.

I used a precoloured image from Lili of the Valley which I have had forever and cut it out with a die from Julie Hickey Designs Dinky squares set , then I used some Nitwits papers from the Promises set, these came from Lili of the Valley when they did the paper pads. The sentiment is Craftwork Cards as is the card blank and gems are Stampin' Up as is the oval punch I used for the sentiment.

Cardstock and ribbon are from my stash.

I definitely shopped my stash for this one.

I am entering my card at 

Allsorts Challenge Blog #816 following the Anything Goes option although it could fit the Romance theme with a gift of flowers.

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #589 - Anything Goes

Critter Crazy DT #94

It's the first of the month so that means a new challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge so here is my second DT card of the day.

I created a 6x5 card blank from black card, then fussy cut all the images from Stampin Up Zoo Crew papers and used them to create a scene then used a fineliner pen to draw some squiggles to ground them.

The sentiment and music score are from the  Stampin up enjoy the Rhythm stamp set.

The squiggly paper is also Zoo Crew.

SSW2 Sketch 294

 I have 2 DT cards to share today and my first one is for sketch 294 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

The base card is a 5 and 3/4 inch square card from dark blue card and I mounted some Stampin Up Bright and Beautiful paper on it. 

I used distress oxides through the Reach for the Stars stencil from Honey Doo Crafts, I'm not sure of the colours as I didn't re-ink my brushes.

The Sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs - Hazels Sentiment Medley Die Set

Twine is the last of a roll from American Crafts and the circle embellishments are Julie Hickey Designs glossies and this is the sketch number 294 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

I am entering this card at the Shopping Our Stash Challenge number 538 where the theme is Superstars and we should use stars on our cards.

SSW2 Sketch 292

 Here is my second card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month

I created a DL card from Limetree Crafts black card and used images from Lili of the Valley Perfect Patisserie which I have coloured with my Polychromos Pencils, fussy cut out and mounted onto Memory Box die cut squares.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up Charming sentimets and I used the matching die to cut it out, the paper is also by Stampin Up.

The dotty ribbon is from my stash I think it may be from Woodware.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 December 2024 cards

 It's been a busy month as in addition to a busy run up to Christmas at work and at home I celebrated a big birthday so I am just sneaking in at almost the end of the month with my remaining DT cards for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Here is sketch 291

This used American Crafts Cardstock and some Fancy Pants papers.

The image and sentiment are from an old Crafters Inspiration magazine and coloured with alcohol markers. The die cut bow is from Stampin Up Pierced Blooms dies and the sparly cirles are from my stash. The circles are Julie Hickey Designs and the card base is 148 x 148 Premium by Craft UK

I will enter this card in The Anything Goes category at Allsorts this fortnight as although I have used a couple of dies I think its a bit cheeky to enter this card in a use dies challenge.

I am also going to enter the Anything Goes option at We Love Stamping Challenge

Thank you
