It's STILL snowing here in N.E. Ohio so that means I'm spending a lot of time in my crafting cave playing with ink, paper, digis, markers, lace, pearls ... and anything else I can get my hands on. SO with that being said, forgive my over abundance of postings over the next couple of days ... I just want to share what I make with you and hopefully pass along some inspiration!
First is a sweet digi image from Sugar Creek Hollow that I picked up over on their group at CDAC. The bird is a stamp from Woodware USA and the sentiment is Inkadinkado. This beautiful lace is by Wright, pearls by Kaiser and satin ribbon by Offray. I have colored this pretty digi with Whispers Strokes markers from JoAnn's.
Challenges this card fits are:
Gem of a Challenge - Sketch
Sentiment Sunday - Sentiment and Anything with Wings
Scrappy Frogs - use Sentiment
Gingerloft - Celebration
Aly's Sunday Challenge - Things with Wings
Woodware USA - Hearts
AND
It has been brought to my attention also that there's a wonderful sketch challenge going on over at the Sugar Creek Hollow Blog and you know I can't pass up a sketch challenge! LOL!! Unfortunately I don't have many SCH images other than Christmas so I'll be playing the challenge with a different company image.
This sweet bird image is from Crafty Secrets Birds & Blooms Creative Scraps. I have quadruple matted it to pick up the colors in the image then continued on with this fun sketch. The items used in this creation are: Making Memories designer paper, flowers are Prima, Kaiser pearls, Martha Stewart doily lace border punch and a SU sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!
Hugs,
Darlene

So glad you found us and made a card with the sketch. I love the sentiment you paired with the image. Check out the freebies at the Sugar Creek Hollow Shoppe and you might find something you can use in one of our next fun challenges although it is you are not required to use an SCH image and will get 2 entries if you do. Thanks for joining us at Sugar Creek Hollow.

Wow! These are both so beautiful! I absolutely love the bold, bright colors you've used with the heart image. What a striking anniversary card!
ReplyDeleteAs for the other card...I'm a big bird lover so in my opinion this is perfect with the Sugar Creek Hollow sketch this week. You're making me want Spring back! I love the yellow DP. Great job on both cards. They're wonderful!
Hope to see you again on Saturday for next weeks challenge.
