Sketch saturday



This is not quite following the sketch as i got a bit distracted at a crucial moment and stuck snowy on the wrong side! but over all quite pleased with this card! Image is PB, coloured with PMs, not sure what the paper is, maybe doodlebug? embossed the white bit the snowflakes embossing folder through the bug and of course lots of stickles. The sentiment is done on the pooter.

Papertake and passion for PMs.




Not so keen on this card, think it looks a bit unfinished, but i was fed up of faffing around with it! The layout is from Papertake, and the colour scheme is from passion for PMs. think the image is PB, not too sure tho. the paper is DCVW, and the ribbon i found in me stash.

ASOS



Loved the layout on ASOS this week, wasnt so good at making sure everything was equal, but hey ho! it just makes it look handmade when its wonky! lol. image is PB snowy (thanks angie!) coloured with PMs. the paper is DCVW pink xmas stack and the glitter is stickles. Sentiment was done on the pooter.

I rotated the sketch. the papers are DCVW and i coloured her in with promarkers . sorry about the naff pics today, have fiddled with camera and done soemthing to it! lol. will have to wait until the man of the house comes home to sort it out (**update** think i have fixed the camera all by myself, have changed pic)

Colour create




Ok, ok , i know its not neon green but its the closest i had! made this card for Rob, my step father in laws birthday! well he would be that if i was married, but after 5 years i figure hes as good as my FIL! lol. think the image is from inkadinkadoo, the sentiment is the one that comes with it, but i typed it up instead!

I got the tilda image from incy over on do crafts. xx
