Lauren's sketch challenge

This card is from a sketch challenge by Lauren. I found this one really tricky. Her card looked so great and funky but i just couldnt get the look right. I started with the flower from a Basic Grey Romani Paper(Hippie) for the circle part of the design, and then tried to find some papers to match colourwise. I settled on the yellow swirls from Making Memories, and a burnt orange splattered effect paper from a Provo Craft Bitty scrap pad.

I added a thank u sentiment from an Inca stamp, and matted it onto bazzill card. I felt the yellow swirls needed something else so matted it onto limeade bazzill.

I still felt the card looked out of balance so added some yellowy/orangey gems.

Not my best card but it did really challenge me.

Doodlebug Birthday

I decided i needed to try and use some of my beloved doodlebug stash, so i made this cupcake card. The sticker and scalloped edged strip is from the new birthday stickers and the ribbon is to match. The embossed background was done for me by a forum friend on a cuttlebug, and the scalloped edged oval shape was punched for me by forum friend also. I used a sakura stardust pen on the embossed flowers and around the oval.

to add some glitz,then made small slits for the ribbon to slide through.

The happy birthday stamp is an inca stamp that i seperated by taping off each word.

Im not all that happy with this one as the ribbon was wonky but i love these pastel colours.
