sunday sketch and stamp # 11

hi there i hope you are having a lovely monday, we had training day at school and i have to say i was pretty bored. why do they print out a pack for you to read and then proceed to do a power point presentation on it!!!!!!! any way the afternoon was better and i was able to sort out my time table with the french dept. well this card is a bit different as i made it but my friend chose all the elements. she likes very traditional cards and as she has ordered quite a few who am i to complain. the sketch is for the challenge on sunday sketch and stamp. the stamp is from clarity stamps and the rest is from my stash. a very simple card but she loves it. i do prefer cutie ones myself. happy crafting and thanks for dropping in x

papertake weekly challenge sketch # 22

this card is very different than my usual style. the stamps are both from clarity stamps and i watched barbara on create and craft a few weeks ago and she was demonstrating these stamps and i remembered that i bought them at ally pally a while ago so i thought i would have a go. i used chalk eyes to stamp the images and then used a water brush to blend them in. then i sponged the background colours. i am quite pleased with the end result. the sketch is this weeks challenge on papertake weekly . the simplicity of the design works really well with these stamps. i hope you have had a good day and ta for taking a look at my blog x
