Taylored Expressions Sketch

 

Hi all,

Well I went surfin' last night on the 'net, looking for some inspiration. When I came across Taylored Expressions. I know that some of my blogging friends enter their sketches & the wonderful Alice is a DT for them (hope I got that right Alice).

I seem to have hit a bit of a brick wall at the moment with coming up with ideas for the Cards for kids. So decided that this sketch would be great for the parents of the kids. I have used some of my newer papers for this card & even broke out the liquid pearls, mini misters filled with ink, water & perfect pearls. I also got out an "older" stamp from my Stampin-up set. I think this card works well for both males & females.........what do you think?

I am going to post this card along with the others later this afternoon. Along with my card(s) for Deborah's latest CCC. Have a great week every one & happy crafting TTFN

Just a share

Hi all,

Just a share tonight. I made these cards with more of my scraps. I always find it so satisfying when I make something really pretty out of left over bits of paper. I guess it's the patchworker in me.

I have made a card tonight for the latest sketch over at Caardvark's. I am just waiting for the Diamond Glaze to dry. Although I think it's a pretty card I am just not sure it will be good enough for the challenge so I might just have to make another one (just in case).

Have a great night & thank you for visiting & for your wonderful comments - TTFN

Just a share

Hi all,

I just thought I'd share this quick & easy card that I made. I think the hardest part was the cutting out ;D. I really love how this card turned out & the best bit I made it up as I went along. This card I made in 5 minutes. All I did was ink the edges of a white card base with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Frayed Burlap, after that I applied a little bit of Tattered Rose in some places around the edges. Then I used Worn Lipstick on the flourish. The tag has Peeled paint on it, I did also use Antique Linen on the tag (Dots & flower Background stamp) but it didn't show up so well. The centres of the Dots & flowers stamp I used my white gel pen. The flower I stamped with a Stampin Up stamp on some left over mini misting experiment (gotta love that). The leaves I stamped on more scrap paper that has a subtle pattern on it. Added the ribbon, pearls & gems.
