Teddy With Butterflies

Good Afternoon

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

I was lucky enough to win some blog candy last week and decided to put it to good use straight away.

I followed the sketch over at Seems A Little Sketchy along with the current theme at Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is buttons and bows.  Here is my card:

7 x 5 card blank

Penny Black Stamp stamped onto Joanna Sheen's elegant satin paper using London Fog Memento ink and coloured using Spectrum Noirs.

Backing papers are printed from SWALK 2 cd-rom onto Satin Finish Printer paper.

Swiss dots embossing folder used.

Ribbons and buttons from stash.

Butterfly was in with my blog candy.

Patchwork Julie

This weeks challenge over at Willow Sketchie Challenge is a choice of a sketch to follow, sparkle and shine, or both.  I've gone with both and here is my card:

6 x 6 card blank.

Backing paper printed from SWALK cd-rom onto pearl paper and edged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped Julie with London Fog memento ink for a softer look, and coloured her with Coloursoft pencils, blended with baby oil.  Her wings have been glittered for extra sparkle.  She is sat on a mat cut with a Spellbinders die from lilac glitter card.

The little dog, patchwork squares, flowers and star and stamped and coloured with the same mediums.

The ribbons are from my stash, tied on the bowdabra, and then little silver charms are added using purple metallic cord.
