Hi all

It's sketch challenge time!

Challenge #117

At first glance this sketch seemed pretty easy but when I started to think about my design I struggled for a while but luckily the creative juices started to flow when I chose my DSP for the left hand side of the card. Yes, I did use Blackberry Bliss....again! But I've tried to change up my usual style a little in the design.

Colour challenge - Stampin' Up! in colours

Hi all

This week's challenge is a colour challenge using some of the gorgeous Stampin' Up! in colours.

I decided to create a stamped background using these colours including some 'stamping off' to vary the intensity of the ink.

Blackberry bliss is such a beautiful colour, I just had to make it the main feature of this card.

There's always something to be thankful for

Hi all

Today I'd like to show you a card I made inspired by a few things. First of all I wanted to include the Pansy punch because it's in this weeks weekly deals (yay!) and the sentiment 'There's always something to be thankful for' seemed to resonate as we enter into Lent. The colour pallet was inspired by Hello Honey, also in the weekly deals.

The sentiment comes from the You brighten my day stamp set which you can order FREE for a limited time during Sale-a-Bration when you place a £45 order.  The stamp which is part of a set of 9 is designed to co-ordinate with the Note tag punch but as I didn't want the tag border I inked my stamp with a Stampin' write marker.

I used the Flower Shop stamp set which co-ordinates with the Pansy punch for a quick, sophisticated effect.
