Card Sketch Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hello Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today we have another wonderful new sketch at Stuck On U Sketches. This card sketch was created by one of our talented leaders at SOUS, Leah Schaeffer.
Also, don't forget this challenge will run from Nov 21st- Dec 4th. So stop on by, and check out the rest of the design teams wonderful creations!

And here is your sketch:


And here is my interpretation: 

SMILE 

 The papers used here are from last year's Oct 31st line, Fancy Pants Design. I distressed the edges of my card. Then I punched a couple layers of patterned paper. 
The circles that are lightly colored purple..circle dots..are a stencil that I had. I applied Liquitex Light Modeling Paste mixed in with a little bit of purple and beige acrylic paint. It gave this card some added texture and bling. 
The "SMILE" title is a rub-on from Kaisercraft. 


Here is a closeup of the flower cluster, all flowers are from prima. A purple prima vine and the larger fabric flower is also from prima.  


Now this larger purple/brown flower is from Petaloo. And underneath this flower are pieces of the prima vine that I used for the larger flower cluster on my card. 

Thanks for looking, and I hope I've given you some inspiration on how to use this sketch! 

Happy Holidays!

Sketch Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Here is another awesome sketch challenge at Stuck On U Sketches. This sketch will run from Oct 26th-Nov 8th. I just loved, loved this sketch and I hope you like my interpretation.  It is a picture of my fur baby COZMO. He is a gentle giant, who looks really scary but is the most gentlest and spoiled of beasts.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my layout:

I used papers from last years Authentique Afterglow collection and Pink Paislee House of Tree collection. I did a lot of distressing, layering, and some hand stitching. 


Here is a closeup of the flower cluster. These flowers are from prima, petaloo, and kaisercraft. The chipboard is from Dusty Attic bracket frame set. I colored it with acrylic paint and stamped it with embossing powders from lindy's stamp gang in cleopatra's copper.


And here's another closeup of the corner in the bottom left. I thought the die was perfect for this layout. "Fantastic terrors never felt before", I'm sure this is what people feel when they see my scary looking doggy. HAHA! 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Card Sketch Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

I can't believe it's almost winter, hasn't the year flown by..sure has for me! And here is another awesome card sketch for the challenge at Stuck On U Sketches which will run from October 3rd-16th. This sketch was created by none other than, Leah Schaeffer. I loved this sketch, it was so easy and fun to work with. Here it is folks:



As you can see I flipped the sketch when creating my card. I used papers from my Swirlydoos Kit, which included papers from the Prima Romance Novel Collection. This was my first time creating a card like this, the sketch was total inspiration. 

The large daisy is from Prima and the smaller flowers are from my personal stash. I used rub-on's from Kaisercraft. 

I made the punched paper in the middle using some graphic 45 Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock. It's the black cardstock which sanded down, you see the clock impressions. I punched the small butterflies with an MS punch that I have, and added some stickles glitter. 

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed creating it! Please stop by SOUS and take a look at the fabulous cards my fellow design team members created.

Sketch Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hello Everyone! I'm a little late getting this post up and running, but..here it is. A fabulous sketch at Stuck On U Sketches created by one of our fearless leaders, Sandi Clarkson. Come join us, this sketch will run from Sept 28-Oct 11th.
Here is the sketch:


 Here is my interpretation of the sketch. I used papers from the Bo Bunny, Little Miss line. I've been hoarding these papers and finally decided to play with them. I'm so glad I did, they are so girlie and romantic. I forgot to add, this is a picture of my Niece Mia..she's a little diva girlie girl.
I used a lot of different punches, layers and lace. 

I used some chipboard from Dusty Attic called Leafy Stem #3, DA0581. I painted it with snow cap acrylic paint then used mica powder in 'jolly swagman olive green' that I purchased from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I love these mica powders, they are two toned and have this shimmer to them. 

I made this flower using Mcgill punches. I curled the edges and inked with chalk ink. I also added some stickles glitter to the edges. 
The butterflies are rub-on's from kaisercraft. 

Here's a closeup of the flower cluster. The green flower on the top right..I made. But, look at the center bling..it came off and is hanging on the side, haha..I just noticed this! 
Flowers are from dusty attic, petaloo and my personal stash. 

Thanks for looking and hope you stop by!
