Winter Beauty

Winter Beauty - This is our last challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy. Sop, sop. I was one of the first designers so I really wanted to keep it going. 

Enough pouting, on to my card.

Here is our final sketch.

My papers are The Paper Studio's Old World Winter, cut with a SB Grand.

My image is Winter Beauty by Stamping Dragon Designs. I loved coloring this image with my Copics. I added some Stickles to the berries and some Prills for the flower centers.

The little pine branches are PTI stamped with Pine Bough distress ink and then I used 3 tiny red pearls for the berries.

Let it Shine!

Let it Shine - Time for a new sketch challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy. This challenge is sponsored by Delicious Doodles.

Here is our sketch for this fortnight.

This image is Christmas Lantern by our sponsor, Delicious Doodles. I colored it with Copics and I resisted the Stickles on this one. The image is so pretty, that I wanted it to stand alone and let it's own "light" shine.

My papers are Old World Winter by The Paper Studio. I inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress inks.

My sentiment is Paper, Trey, Ink. 

I used some holly leaves, a stick pin and some ribbon that I colored with my Copics.

My image is Tom Turkey by Robyn's Fetish. I colored him with Copics. Do you like the little scene I made for him?

I surrounded him with some feathers

I used my pearl pen to make the black pearls.

My sentiment is Studio G.

Baby Penguin

Baby Penguin - Hi friends. It is time for a new sketch challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy!!! This is an easy and fun one!!! 

I have a hard time using a sketch, if I want to make a fancy fold card, so when I create the sketches for us at Seems a Little Sketchy, I have been trying to make some that would be good for a multi-fold card. 

For this this one, I made a sunken frame card. It is hard to see in the photo, but the main image is sunken. This is a really easy card to make, but it makes a big impact on the receiver. I just center the image, then trace around it. I then draw a big X through that tracing and cut on the X lines. The only other thing you have to do, is to score around the frame and give a back to it, to cover up the big X. You will loose about 1/2 an inch so it really does need the back.

This challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Aurora Wings. All of Mitzi's images are just gorgeous! This is one of her more simplistic images. Her mermaids are particularly beautiful, with lots of stunning detail.

This image is baby Penguin. I colored him with Copics, then stamped some snowflakes with a glue pad and added some really fine glitter.

My sentiment is Inkadinkado stamped with red. I scattered some blue gemstones around the card base.

Fast Rollin

Fast Rollin - Time for a new sketch at Seems a Little Sketchy. This challenge is sponsored by Kenny K Downloads. 

I flipped the sketch for this challenge.

My designer papers are Doodlebug Design Inc, Day to Day.

My image is Kenny K Downloads, Airborne. He is such a great image. I love the position of the hands.

I colored Airborne with Copics and then added Stickles to the side edge of the skateboard and his helmet. I think even boys would wear a sparkly helmet.

My sentiment is Studio G and I used 2 SU punches on it.

Here you can see the dimension between the layers. You can also see the 3 brown pearls I created using a pearl pen. The brown always flattens more than I like. The other colors don't do that, so I am not sure why the brown does.

This card is a slider card. Here the image is in the down position and below it is up. Some little boy is going to love playing with this.

Blue Snowflakes

Blue Snowflakes - It is time for a new challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy and I am so excited about this sketch!!!! I love the belly band on it.

My DP's are BoBunny Powder Mountain.

My image is Lacy Sunshine's Snowflake - Quality Control. I colored her with Copics, then added lots of gemstones. I randomly stamped snowflakes with Tumbled Glass distress ink and then used a fine tipped glue (Heartfelt Creations) to add a fine glitter.

The snow flakes behind the image are HC Lacy dies. I cut it in half and mounted it behind the image that was cut with a SB.

I made a stick pin and added it the bow that was tied using my Bow Easy.

Here is a side view, so that you can see all the sparkle.

Shepard at Night

Shepard at Night - Hi, time for a new sketch at Seems a Little Sketchy!!! 

I turned the sketch and forgot to turn it back to the original position. It helps me visualize it better to turn it the the angle that I am doing it in.

My image is Shepard by our sponsor, QKR Stampede. I used a shading technique that I learned from Sandy Allnock. Sandy also used a Shepard for her card.

I colored the image with Copics and cut with a SB.

My DP is Farm House's Norland.

No designer paper on this one. I let this awesome image by Teri Sherman at Delicious Doodles stand alone. I just did some simple shading with my Copics. I did use a scrap of paper for the 3 dangly parts of the sketch.

I did a simple knot and added 3 pearls to finish it off.
