#39 Sketch over at TTPHC

Good morning, and happy Monday! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Can you believe it is nearly May? I can't believe how fast the months are flying by!

This week over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges, the theme is a sketch



and we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles

and Aurora Wings

This week I got the image, Blossom, and here is the card I made:

I coloured her with watercolour crayons and then used some glitter to highlight some accents.

I printed out the flowers on her head twice, and used it as an emphasis, decoupage style I suppose!

 I did some faux stitching around the edge of the A5 card, and used two strips of vellum paper to create the lines from the sketch.

I highlighted the butterfly with glitter, to tie in with the detail there for the sketch. I don't normally do a digi image so large, but just felt the image alone could lend itself to the sketch, so decided to do a slight abstract style adhering to the sketch this week!! ;)

Why not pop over and see what my other teamies have made and give the challenge a go?

Thanks for looking, hope you have a great week :)

I hope to enter this into a few challenges,

Anything Goes with Delicious Doodles

Hello, happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend :) Well November is certainly pushing us nicely into winter, can't believe how cold it suddenly has become!

This week over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges, the theme is "Winter Scenes with animals or people". Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles, kindly giving 4 digi's to the challenge winner.

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I got the beautiful Angelique to play with :)
I used a mixture of watercolour paints, pro markers and embossing powder to colour in this lady.

I decided to go with a blue and silver look, to portray the ice and snowflakes. I cut out a blue 'doily' with my bigz die, put an outline sticker on it and placed it slightly off the card to the top.

 I used some stripy blue paper as the background, and then layered up the centre with ribbon and a silver paper. I used another outline sticker to 'even off' the card.

I printed out Angelique onto a heavier card in my local print shop, but as usual did the wrong size! I had the card in my head and didn't work in the size dies I had. The only die that would fit her, was the largest banners die. I had no way to layer the image, as the smaller banner die cut off too much of the image. So I cut both the silver backing board and image at the same size, and then got my fabric scissors at the image to make it slightly smaller.

As it was a snowflake/icy image, I wanted to try and portray that on the card. I used some Kaleidoscope Transparent embossing powder on her wings, and used a silver embossing powder around the trim of her top. I love how the finish comes up on the wings!

To give the snowflake a bit of depth, I cut out a second one, heat embossed it, placed a gem in the middle and layered it with foam pads.

Thanks for stopping by, why not give the challenge a go?

I hope to enter this card in some challenges.
