Sketch N Stash 91 & DTDF

This fornight over at Sketch n Stash we have a great sketch designed by the beautiful and talented Gemma, here it is ...

Isn't it fab? I love it! I have made the card for my cousin who has just graduated from University. I have first taken a sheet from the EP Be Mine Collection and cut two flags using the MFT Die-Namics Fishtail Flags Stax dies and added them to a card blank using 3D adhesive squares. I have then stamped the image from the MFT A La Modes Grad Girl set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to a seperate piece of white CS and coloured with Copic Markers. I have cut her out with a Nestabilities circle die and added to the base just off the edge. I have stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on to more white CS and cut out using a Whimsy Notables 2 Die and added this to the base. Bazzill Jewels added to finish.

 SUPPLIES:

COPIC MARKERS: Skin: E0000, E000, E50; Hair: E23, E25, E27; Gown and Mortarboard: N5, N6, N7, B12, B14; Scroll: C0, C1, Blender, B12, B14; Shadow: N1, Blender.

Sketch N Stash 89

Hi guys, first of all I am really sorry that this post is a week late. I was taken ill during the bank holiday weekend and ended up in hospital. Since I came out I got worse and ended back at my GPs. I have been signed off work for a week and still not feeling great but wanted to just come on here to add this card as it's so late.

This fortnight we have a great card designed by the lovely Sarah-Jane, here it is:

For my card I used PTI Aqua Mist CS and Pattern Paper for the background, a CC Designs Pixie Pet stamp {old neglected stash} for the image coloured with Copics and the message is a Waltzingmouse Stamps sentiment {new stash} stamped and then cut using a MFT Die-Namics Tab. **I will add proper details here when I am feeling better**

Supplies:

Thanks so much for visiting, sorry for the rush post. Please visit the Sketch N Stash blog for more details on the challenge. Hope you are all well and hope to be back soon!

Hi all, I am back with another challenge over at Sketch N Stash. This fortnight we have a great sketch designed by the talented Andie. I have to be honest and say that I struggled with my card, I don't really like the finished result but it was the best I could come up with.

I have made the base by layering up various sheets of Doodlebug CS with sheets from the DB Hello Spring Collection {new-ish stash}. I have then wrapped around with PTI Fresh Snow Satin Ribbon. I have die cut a sqaure using a Nestabilities die and added this with 3D foam pads. I have then stamped the butterflies from the PTI Butterfly Dreams {old stash} set on to white and the large one cut out with the corresponding die and the little one cut with scissors. These have been adorned with Rhinestones and added to the square with more 3D foam pads. The PB sentiment has been stamped and then cut out using the SU! Modern Label Punch.
