Good afternoon, my dear Blogging friends! Despite the forecast of not so scattered showers, we have been quite lucky and managed to evade most of them this morning, and dare I say it?...the sun is even shining! It makes such a difference having the sun coming in to my craft room (well, supposed to be dining room!), that it made me want to make something bright and cheerful! As it's a friend's daughter's birthday this week, I thought I'd better make a card to send early, as it has to go to Ireland and the postal service is not the best in getting there!...
...Inspired by the lovely
Tara's interpretation of the
My Favourite Things Get Sketchy Challenge, I decided to follow along with their sketch and even enter my card in the challenge! I always get crafty stash envy when I visit
Tara's blog as she has so much MFT products to play with and I would love to own some myself...I already have my eye on a couple of the Blueprints sets, the fishtail flag STAX and many more, so I'm hoping that my luck might just be in and I can win something towards getting my MFT stash off the ground!...
....Anyway, back to my card! I have been treating myself lately to some new crafty stash, seeing as I have been away from crafting for a while and this little cutie was one of my latest purchases, especially for this card! This is from the Rosie 1 Collection from
Digi Stamp Boutique and I coloured her using my Pro/Flexmarkers and here's the colour list for all you Letrasetters :
Skin - Blush, Sunkissed Pink, Cocktail Pink, Coral
Hair - Linen, Champagne, Sandstone, Caramel
Hairband - Tea Rose, Watermelon, Antique Pink, Ruby
Top - Soft Aqua, Aquamarine, Duck Egg, Surf Blue
Large present - Tea Rose, Watermelon, Antique Pink, Ruby, Ivory, Vanilla, Mustard
Small present - Honeydew, Pastel Green, Soft Green, Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa, Henna
Star Balloon - Buttercup, Canary, Sunflower
Round Balloon - Tea Rose, Cocktail Pink, Cerise, Shocking Pink
...The fabulous papers are some more new stash and are from Prima's Anna Marie and Hello Pastel paper pads. The name and number were cut using my Cricut - I did wonder if I would find much use for this machine, but it is proving to be a great addition to my crafty kit! I embellished my card with some glitter, pearls, pearl stars and bright dotty ribbon and finished with a printed insert, with a birthday verse.
I really love the way this card turned out and shall definitely be using this fantastic sketch again! Thanks for coming to visit me today and I hope I've given you some crafty inspiration! Back tomorrow with a new
Passion for Promarkers challenge - Team 1's first of the year!
Big crafty hugs,
