Sketch Saturday Challenge #282

Happy Saturday!

There is a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday.  Our sponsor is Stamp Fairy and the prize this week is $10 gift certificate.

Here is Sketch #282 (designed by Jen):

I used a Stamp Fairy image today - Barry Fly Away.  I thought it would be perfect with a new Doodlebug paper Happy Harvest.  Love the aerial view of the town.

I saw this cloud background technique on a blog using Taylored Expressions Cloud Border as a stencil for clouds.  Brilliant!  It really worked great.  You can use ink and a sponge.  I dug out my Copic air brush system and BG01 Copic marker. First time I've actually used it on a card - Finally!

Supplies --

Stamp: Lil Inkers Rainbow and Cloud Sentiments

Mabelle RO - Garden Joy

 

Hi All,

Today, I have a guest designer post for Mabelle.  I'm using an image I won from a hop a few months ago called Garden Joy.  I hadn't colored her yet so this was a perfect opportunity.   

I paired this sweet image with a paper pad from Doodlebug Designs called Flower Box.  Love the bright and fun colors.  I used 5 patterned papers from this pad.  I think that is a record for me!  Some were scrap pieces so that is good - using scraps.

When I colored this image, I was preparing to teach a Copic coloring class, it's been awhile, so I've been looking thru techniques.  I hadn't added hatching to an image in awhile and thought adding some to her hat would create some interest and texture.  The hat I'm happy with - the cart - well maybe I should have connected in the middle.  

The sun is a die from Lil Inkers Designs, with a gem placed in the center.  I added real stitching around the image and the perimeter of the mat background and to a couple of the pennants too.

Supplies --

Sketch Saturday Challenge #265

There is a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday!  This week's sponsor is Milk Coffee, a new digi site for me.  Super cute images and we were given one to work with.  I chose Michelle in Hot Air Balloon.

Really fun to play with and I thought it was perfect for this week's sketch too.  Here is Sketch #265 (designed by Jen):

I was going through my paper pads and found the most perfect paper pack in my stash by Doodlebug Designs "Flower Box".  I also used a couple dies I've had for quite some time.  The stitch sun and cloud are from Lil' Inkers Designs.  It is SO nice to finally use things. 

I thought the sun and cloud were perfect for the upper embellishments and the flowers for the lower embellishment. 

For the 3 strips across the bottom of the sketch, I used a PaperTrey Ink die "In the Meadow".  The flowers were cut free hand from the patterned paper.

Supplies --
