Sweet Sunday Sketch #204

Happy Sunday, and Happy Australia Day to all of my Aussie followers!!! It's time, of course for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I hope you can join us!

I have to admit, I seriously struggled with this weeks sketch, and, I have absolutely no idea why. But, after throwing a couple of cards in the bin, I finally settled on this one:-

Here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used a bevvy of NEW goodies from the up and coming Occasions Catalogue on this one. Water Color Washi!!!, Sequins!!!, Gold Bakers Twine!!!.. oooh and smidge of some gorgeous Sale-a-bration DSP.... you have to look closely... it's the large butterfly ;-).

The colours are simple... Whisper White, Gold and Crisp Cantaloupe. The sentiment is from the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set (available in 2 days!!!)

Sweet Sunday Sketch #203

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, I hope you'll join us!. How fun is it that we get to play along weekly again!?... LOVE it!

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've use Calypso Coral as the base of this card. The other colours have come from the Color Coach (it's always right, you know! ;-) ), and the Watercolor Wonder DSP, which will be available your you to purchase VERY soon. The background I made using one of the stamps from the Happy Watercolor stamp set (also available soon... it's in the up and coming Occasions Catalogue), and the colours are Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral. The sentiment is also from Happy Watercolour and it's been stamped in Calypso Coral. Some Calypso Coral bakers twine, a fabulous Vintage Doily, some Burlap and some Vanilla Spritz and it's pretty much come to life. Oh, some sweet little butterflies using my small Butterfly Punch and Pearls.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #199

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, I hope you'll be able to join us!

So, this week has seen my small Flossie officially graduate from Kindy ( here in Oz that's the first stage of schooling here, then we have Pre-Primary and then into Yr 1 etc) and with that and the last day for my Big Flossie looming ( Wednesday actually), teachers gifts and cards have been a priority. Today's card was on of the Thank you cards, and we gave this one to the beautiful lady who runs our school canteen. Here's my card:-

And here is the sketch:-

I've used a little creative license with this one, just a little. I couldn't get the three little embellishments to work with the stamp I'd used, so I opted to use a gorgeous, vintage doily instead... It's still passes, Right!?

The colours I used are Crisp Cantaloupe, Bermuda Bay and Baked Brown Sugar. The stamp set is Million and One. I've embossed the sentiment is Early Espresso Embossing Powder and added my THREE ;-) embellishments around the sentiment ;-). Hope that's ok Boss ;-) (Karen G) hehehe
