Papertake Weekly Challenge - Dawnys Sketch 9

Another sketch and I loved this one because it gave me lots of room to work. The backing paper is the new Pink Petticoat, the image is Penny Black, coloured in with twinkly h2os and the matt is made using twinkling h2os and embossed thru the cuttlebug. I got very ambitious and decoupaged some of the little flowers.

The Pink Elephant Challenge #2 - Glitter

The challenge this week was to used glitter or sparkle and anyone who knows me will be laughing already cos I am known as the Queen of Bling!!!

Anyway used a new download I got from Pink Petticoat (Sweet Sundaes) for the backing papers and the image. The image was coloured in and glittered (of course) then matted and layered onto glitter card. Added a few sequins (I know its over the top but the theme is Glitter so I have been given license to sparkle) Added some shimmery ribbon and glittery button and I thought if I put any more on here it will not be able to stand up on its own. lol

Lauras Sketch 19 - 2 Sketches 4 You

I loved this sketch, used some Basic Grey papers, used my cricut to cut 2 of the shapes and my cuttlebug to emboss and martha stewart punch for the border. Added a sentiment, a bit of ribbon, a flower embellishment and some buttons. It sounds so simple but it took me ages playing around with it. It was just one of the things if you know what i mean

Have a great day, thanks for visiting
