Simply Stampin' Challenge - Sketch Week



I had a few attempts at this weeks entry for the Simply Stampin Challenge but eventually settled on the above card. I really enjoy the Sketch Challenges as it makes me think a bit more about the layout (I normally stick to asquare in the middle which gets a bit boring after a while).

It hasn't photographed very well (think I need to practice more!) and you can't see the versamark snowflakes on the backing card which doesn't help!!! (Any tips anyone?)

I purchased my Dasher stamp last year and love him. Wasn't going to bring him out this year as he featured on all my cards last year but couldn't resist as he's so lovely to play with. I stamped him in Bravo Burgandy and then glittered his antlers with some bronze glitter from my stash and used Dazzling Diamonds for the snowflakes and to add some 'snow' to his feet.

Think I may have to make a few of these to hand out over the Christmas period - once my new tape pens arrive. I had to resort to wet glue and it made the card buckle slightly but having used up everything else it was a last resort!

Mr and Mrs King's Wedding

Morning,

Been a few weeks since my last update. I have been crafting but between finishing work and trying to get everything finished for a friends wedding it's been a bit hectic (not to mention prepping everything for the arrival of baby!!!).

Anyway, the wedding was on Saturday and below are some pictures of all my hard work of the last couple of months:





 

Hopefully some more pictures to follow but at a loose end today so decided to share a couple now!




Fingers crossed for another update this afternoon - I've made a card for the Simply Stampin' Challenge this week but need some decent light before I attempt to take a picture . . .

Simply Stampin Sketch Challenge

Morning All,

Apologies for this being a short update but been a hectic week and I leave for work in about 10 minutes - on the positive side I have almost completed the Wedding Stationery for my friends wedding (table names and plan only things to do!).

I checked out the Simply Stampin' Challenge at the weekend and decided to make a Wedding Card for above friend using the sketch challenge issued.



The colour is Elegant Eggplant (and is the colour theme for the Wedding Stationery so ties in nicely) and the sentiment is from'So Happy For You' stamp set.

Off to work now.
