just add ink #249 just add sketch

wow!

this is pretty cool!

a guest designer for february at just add ink!!

welcome welcome welcome

here is the sketch and inspiration for this weeks challenge

here is my take on this months sketch

i love a bit of colour in my cards

(actually it should really be LOVE!!)

so i couldn't resist adding a bit to this sketch

even though i tried to be more subtle by using watercolour pencils 

 to make my card i used a hexagon punch as a stencil and drew the shapes onto watercolour paper.

then i coloured them in with watercolour pencils-a different colour per hexagon

and used an aqua painter to blend them together.

to make the lines i used stampin up's rows of tiny pearls

the butterfly was made using the swallowtail stamp and stamping with versamark onto vellum and then embossing with white embossing powder.

all i did next was punch out the middle of the butterfly, added some glitter, bling and silver cord

hope you like

and see you next week!!!!

scrapbooking su style

 i have been getting into my scrapbooking again lately 

because stampin up have brought out a new fabulous range of 

papers and embellishments that i just love to bits

it is almost like they asked me what my favourite things were and decided to stock only that!

needless to say i am going to have to do a lot more workshops and catalogue demonstrations to get all the goodies i want in my hot little crafty hands.

 here's a page i scrapped recently of my mum's wedding. 

she had yellow roses in her boquet so hence my use of daffodil delight with the love letter dsp.

i have used a lot of differnt su things to make this page 

including the scallop envelope for my journalling and the daubering i have added to the squiggle

on the corner i have used some antique, jumbo, mini, and flower brads and buttons.

on the photo (it's ok-it's a photocopy!!) i used my aqua painter to colour in the flowers and then used crystal effects to make them sticky outy

in the top corner by the squiggles i added a paper daisy, with a clear button and some dsp underneath it. unfortunately the gold string and clear buttons have retired...good thing i stocked up on them huh?!!!

 there are a few more pages i want to showcase so come back tomorrow for another look and please feel free to leave a comment!

cheers ears
