Papertake Weekly Challenge - Dawny's Sketch #9

This week over on Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog there is another lovely simple & elegant sketch by Dawny. For my card I have used another of the PollyCrafts "Sherbert" stamps that I stamped up while visiting with Marlene last week (I received my own set this morning). I have coloured her with Distress Inks using the following colours...
Tattered Rose (Skin)
Walnut Stain (Hair)
Broken China (Top)
Worn Lipstick (Skirt & Shoes)
Peeled Paint (Grass)
Dried Marigold/Spiced Marmalade (Flowers)
Weathered Wood (Sky)
The papers I used were more from the My Minds Eye pad that I shared with Marlene. I also added some Anita's ribbon, Prima blossoms, swirls cut using a QK Revolution die put through the Cuttlebug, a brad and spacer and some random bling. To finish off I have added some Sakura clear glitter gel pen to her hair and the flowers.

Here is a picture of the decorated inside...finally blogger has let me add them.

Thanks so Dawny and the lovely DT over on Papertake Weekly for another fab challenge.

A card using Marlene's Sketch

So, I was caught up with all the challenges that had inspired me to create this week, and just couldn't resisit colouring another of the Sherbert images that I stamped at Marlene's....and what better way to use one of them than to follow one of Marlene's own sketches. So for my card I have coloured the PollyCrafts Designs "Sherbert" image with distress inks using the following colours...
Tattered Rose (Skin)
Walnut Stain (Hair)
Broken China (Eyes)
Fired Brick & Spiced Marmalade mixed together (Dress)
Fired Brick (Shoes)
Antique Linen/Walnut Stain (Sign)
Peeled Paint (Grass)
Spiced Marmalade (Flowers)
The papers are all from the My Minds Eye Magnolia range and I have also used some Stampin' Up Choc Chip taffeta ribbon, Prima blossoms, 2 heart pins and a Making Memories "Love Letters" ticket. The swirls have been created with my QK Revolution "flourishes" die and finally I added some bling to the edge, Sakura clear glitter gel pen to her hair and Stickles "orange peel" to her wings.

Below is a close up of the main image...
The inside has also bee decorated with scraps of the same paper, and also with a sentiment by Penny Black.

Thanks Marlene, I always have fun following your sketches. (Hugs to you...missin' ya already).

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #39

Here is my card using this weeks sketch over on the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog. For the main image I have used a PollyCraft "Sherbert" that I stamped yesterday before I left Marlene's (thanks Babe). I have coloured "Sherbert" with Distress Inks using the following colours...
Tattered Rose (Skin)
Scattered Straw/Dried Marigold/Spiced Marmalade (Hair)
Broken China (Eyes)
Broken China/Spiced Marmalade/Fired Brick (Dress)
Peeled Pain (Socks)
Spiced Marmalade (Shoes)
Peeled Paint/Fired Brick (Flowers & Grass)
Weathered Wood (Sky)
The papers are all by My Minds Eye "Magnolia - Serene" and came in a paper pad from The Range. Unlike normal MME papers, which are more like cardstock, these are paper weight. I have also used Prima Blossoms, Doodlebug sugar coated brads and a sentiment also from PollyCrafts. To finish off "Sherbert" has Sakura clear glitter gel pen in her hair and Stickles "Waterfall" on her wings.

Here is a closeup on the main image and flowers.

Finally here is a picture of the decorated insides, using the scraps up...well most of them.

Really enjoyed making this today..."Sherbert" was a dream to colour...so much so that I ended up ordering a couple of different ones..plus the sentiment. Pop over to Sketch Saturday and see what the DT came up with to inspire us...their cards are FAB.
