Using Inspire. Create Challenge Sketch #002 with the Seasonal Tags dies

Hello there,
I have my third, but I'm sure not final card using the great sketch from Inspire. Create. Challenges second challenge (#002)! You can see my other makes using this sketch HERE.
So, this card is the one that most loosely follows the sketch but it was certainly inspired by it ;-) Let's see...

Here is the sketch... And there are still a few days to join in the fun! This challenge ends Tuesday 17th October 2017

I made this watercoloured wash background using the following colours:

Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Peekaboo Peach, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.

I dampened the watercolour paper before adding the wash then sprinkled it with sea salt while it was still wet and only left it for about 30-40 seconds to achieve this effect...

 OK, so had you noticed these super stylish, mini leaf dies in the Seasonal Chums set? No? Me neither - 'till last week that is! I think they are just adorable! After die cutting I added them back in with mini dimensionals and then topped the leaf vein with a thin coat using the fine tip glue pen.

 Finished with a knot of ribbons and some sequins!
I really loved making this card and I do hope you liked it too?
Thanks for looking today and don't forget you still have a couple more days to try out this sketch challenge ;-)

Smitten Mittens For Inspire. Create. Challenges. A Second Card For Challenge #002

Hi there,
Following on from my post on Wednesday where I shared my make using the new sketch challenge that's currently running over at Inspire. Create. Challenges I wanted to share the second (of three) cards I made using the sketch! This card follows the sketch a little more loosely but you can still see the general shapes, with a diagonal background and a front panel (mittens) over the top, take a look....

OK, so to make this card:
 Create a watercoloured ombre effect on watercolour paper using ink pads and a square paintbrush. Paint a loose wash using Soft Sky blending into Pool Party then Marina Mist and finally Night Of Navy onto (already damp) paper. Heat set for speed then trim the sides to 10.5cm across and lastly cut at an angle.
Lay the top section of watercolour paper over a white card base (without sticking), stamp the sentiment in Navy to the left then again in Marina Mist either side until the diagonal gap is filled. Adhere the paper under it and trim away excess.

I used a new mini dimensional to pop up a metal rimmed pearl to make a 'hanger' for the mittens.

Finally the die cut and layered mittens (with Champagne Foil backing, so pretty!) were hung using tinsel trim...

Well, I do hope you will join in with this challenge?! and for more ideas please got to the Inspire. Create blog to see what the other DT members have made too!
Back tomorrow with a Halloween project and a blog hop so tons more inspiration! Hope to see you then :-)

Inspire. Create. Sketch Challenge #002

Hello!
I can hardly believe two weeks have gone by since the first challenge for Inspire. Create. Challenges! And now here we are again, back with a Sketch challenge this week, my personal favourite of the "kick starters" for when I get stuck, take a look...

So, as I said, I do love a sketch and I actually made three cards using this one!!
Today I will share just the one that closely follows the sketch for you but please do pop back this week and see the rest of the cards I've made inspired by this sketch.
OK, lets get started! I used Seasonal Chums for this card along with a cute boxwood wreath...
 This sentiment is included in the stamp set. You *may* have noticed I'm partial to a banner or two ;-)

 I stamped the little deer onto shimmer card before using my aqua painter and blender pens to colour him (or her?)

 Now, I have had this Pinewood Planks E.F. for quite a while but not broken it out until now, but, hello!! Why didn't I??? It's so lovely! It's a special "dynamic" folder meaning it's extra thick and it gives really deep impressions! So, in the imortal words of Ronald, I'm loving it!

 And here's a final shot of today's card :-)

Well, I do hope you will have a go at this weeks sketch challenge at Inspire. Create.
 For more ideas and inspiration using this sketch then please do hop over to the INSPIRE. CREATE. BLOG and take a look at what the other DT members have made, I'm sure you'll be bowled over!
As I mentioned, I'll have more ideas with this sketch this week so I hope to see you here again soon! Thanks for looking today,
