A Friday make

A happy Friday to you all,

I have a card today inspired by a few challenges I have wanted to play along with this week. Yesterday I got the chance to have some crafty time.

Here is the card:

I decided I wanted to challenge myself again to enter the ColourQ Challenge-I had no idea how I was going to get the blue and the coral onto my card but came up with colouring my butterfly blue and my pearls coral using copics. Another week that I have made, what to me are really hard colours, work...yes I am pleased with myself!!

That gold strip is actually adhesive tape that I picked up from a shop in Covent Garden-a little find! The butterfly is a new one from Concord and 9th

The layout is from the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches

I had the idea to use the butterfly from the adorable photo at Addicted to Stamps and More-check it out below.

I will also enter this into the 'metallics' challenge at Uniko-the sentient is actually a Uniko one.

        

Gift Time!

Hi All

Popping in with a card I made yesterday for 2 challenges:

Addicted to CAS-Gift-mine is all wrapped up!

Hope your week is a good one x

   

Artsy London!

A very happy Friday my friends,

Freshly Made Sketches are celebrating their 200th sketch this week. Naturally I wanted to join in the fun. If you need a little more to tempt you, check out all the sponsors they have here.

I find sketch challenges hard however this week was a very CAS sketch and as soon as I saw it I had an idea. 

Here is my card, inspired by an arty picture of London I saw here.

To make this card I masked of the bottom part of my card with normal masking tape. I then used my 'Windsor and Newton' Water colour paint set directly onto the 'Bon Voyage' Clearly Besotted Stamp. I stamped this onto the water colour card, then removed the mask and held card upright so some of the paint dropped down-this is my attempt to be artsy!

This was a lot of fun to make and I really like how it turned out. 

It is actually being given to a crafty friend today who I am hoping will also like it.

I will enter this into:
