sketch this:cards sketch. #22

This card was made for the sketch this:cards sketch challenge#22.

I love these little Elzybells teddy stamps, and the football one is great for little boys.

I used the matching football stamp for the background layer.

I added a folded "frill" under the image piece, that was part of the dare at daring cardmakers, as i wanted to try and use a frill on a boys card.

(cheryl i hope u dont mind me getting inspiration from ur frill!).

Im not sure i like how it worked though, so will have another go at that dare!

The folded frill is a doodlebug paper, and the sentiment is from a woodware clear set.

2 cards for boys

I took some inspiration from my friend Kerrie to use some stamps that i havent yet used/or barely used.

I bought this cute set of Woodware boys stamps from the Glitterpot ages ago, but have barely used them as they have been tucked under a pile of cards and papers!

So i decided to dig them out and make 2 cards from them.

I kept it simple and unfussy as it'll be for a young boy, and kept the colours similar. On the more colourful card i used some patterned paper but am not sure where it is from as it was a gift.

Hedgie card

I've really enjoyed myself this afternoon making these 5 cards. Having sketch challenges has made such a difference and has inspired me to try something different on every card im making.

This card was made using a cute penny black stamp which ive had for ages, but still hadnt used as it was tucked behind another!(out of sight out of mind).

I love watercolouring the images as the colours in my pencils are so pretty.

The colours i had used matched perfectly with this gorgeous doodlebug paper i bought at the Glitterpot the other day.

Ive matted and layered with bazzill card as usual

and added a little detail on the corners of the image with a woodware conrner punch.

The pretty flower is a prima sprite(which i find difficult to use as they are so pretty!!).
