Whiff of Joy

Gosh I had real problems with this sketch, I just could not get the elements to balance. It is more cluttered than I would normally do in a card and you cannot see much of the beautiful papers which is a shame. I have also had to cut down the image as it was just too large. I really need to start making my own cards as 140x140mm are just too small for the images around at the moment. The papers are basic grey ambrosia set, and the flowers prima. The image is a RAK of either Becky or Cathy as both have sent me this. Lace is stash as are brads, sentiment doodled by myself. I hope you like it.

Whiff of Joy Challenge - Sketch 13

Hi everyone, I have managed to do a Whiff of Joy Challenge, not managed to do one of these in a long time due to circumstances. This lovely image was a RAK of Cathy and has been coloured in using watercoloured pencils. I have mounted the image on blue card stock and used paper from Basic Grey's Lily Kate pad to highlight the image. The scalloping I have ised lace from my stash and the ribbon I think is papermania not sure as I found it in the bottom of my ribbon box. The flowers are the new prima hydranger range this pack was wild rose. I have hand scribbled a border on the paper and hand written the sentiment. I hope you like it.

ABC R is for Ribbon

I will be honest this is not one of my better cards but after nights of floor walking while Henry cut 4 top teeth have taken its toll. The image is a WOJ given to me by Ellie, and I have watercoloured her in as per usual. I have crossed two ribbons, a thick pink and a think white to create half a frame for the image. The papers are from the Basic Grey Eva pack which I had yesterday for my birthday. I have cut the circles using my friskars and have distressed all the papers used using my papermania earth tones pad.

I hope you like. Please bare with me on my blog hopping as I have very limited time at the moment to craft and I am unable to get round to all my followers and people who leave comments on a daily basis. I am hoping to be able to set a side a few hours this weekend and plan to do alot of back tracking, so look out for posts on old cards as i try and catch up.
