retro sketches



Hi today, I started this card yesterday afternoon using the retro sketches re#31 layout, and struggled with the final touches - so I've added a little piece of ricrac and some bling to blend with the tiny butterfly. Thanks for taking peek.

iSpy Sketches, CR84FN



 
Hi there today.....I really liked the simple sketch at iSpy Sketches ISSC35 and love the soft colours of CR84FN 64 ...they've come today nicely for my card...but I must confess it's the first card in a long time that doesn't have major stamping on it.  I found this text block in the back of  a design papers pad while looking for my blue background paper and being a stamper I never think to use these little matching die cuts....so today I did....couldn't help myself though - I've stamped tiny foilage around the edges.
 Thanks for taking a peek  Robyn

MojoMonday, Dynamic Duos

  
Today I've made a card using MojoMonday #261 design and colours for the Dynamic Duos DD#22 - to use Cherry Cobble and a colour of your choice - my colour is Grey, the designer paper from Kaisercraft helped me decide on the colour combo,the floral stamp one I got as a freebie with a magazine. Thanks for taking a peek.

Scrapbook Boutique, Sketchbook Saturday Challenge



   
A bit of a lazy day here in Perth, I finished reading my novel and thankfully the sun is shining.
I've put together this bright 'friends' card using the layout from Sketchbook Saturday and the colours from an article in Oct Better Homes and Gardens and also a bunch of buttons for the Scrapbook Boutique monthly challenge. Thanks for taking a peek.

Freshly Made Sketches

So...I didn't know where to start with my next card....but I really liked the cards others made at Freshly Made Sketches #53.....so then to choose some colours...well I decided on the light patterned paper with tiny birds from a Kaisercraft paper stack that also included the maroon spotted paper and I liked how they contrasted. I've teamed them with a Chocolate Baroque stamp and must say it all came together quickly and I'm happy with the result.  Thanks for taking a peek

Colour Q, The Sweet Sunday sketch

  
Well TGIF - well that doesn't really apply to me seeing as I'm not working at present...but for you workers - the weekend is ahead, yippee!!
Today my card is along the lines of Sweet Sunday Sketch #167 and similar colours to ColourQ #155 theme. I stamped and embossed my image in soft grey so it had a more subtle effect and I like the result.
Thanks for taking a peek.

Less is More, Dynamic Duo

 
A super day for card making in my caravan  :-)
For the Less is More challenge: week 85 the theme is to include an OVAL on the card and the lovely simple colours of this weeks challenge at  Dynamic Duos DD#20 - Lucky Limeade and Black.  I enjoy working with two colours and I haven't included an oval for a long time...I have two on my card.
