FRIDAY SKETCHERS CHALLENGE NO. 74

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. I just hate these dark mornings, I would rather be wrapped up in bed! Two more days, and then I can do just that for a few days, till the working week begins all over again! I have two posts today, and my first card is for Friday Sketchers Challenge No. 74. I have used a stamp from Belles 'n Whistles called "Lemonade Anyone?", and this has been coloured with a combo of Sakura Gel Pens and Art-Kure WC Brushes. The image has been trimmed down and layered on orange and green card, cut to the shape of a tag. The backing papers are from a 6x6 paper pack from My Minds Eye called Bloom and Grow. The card has been finished off with a stamped sentiment, a green bow, paper flower with pearl brad, and some self-adhesive pearls - all from my craft stash.

My second card today is for Papertake Weekly Challenge - "Faking it" - see anything fake on your cards - this can be stitching, face lace, fake ribbons, bows and flowers! I have used a stamp from Belles 'n Whistles called Belle with Teddy, and this has been coloured with Sakura Gel Pens and a few highlights with Twinkling H2O's. The image has been cut with a round nesty, and layered on green, blue and pink card. The backing papers are from a Basic Grey paper pad called Euphoria. My faux stitching is around all the circles and around the outside of my card too! The card has simply been finished off with a stamped sentiment.
