I was going through some old Christmas cards and some of them are too nice to throw out! I loved this teddy image so used a Nestie die to cut him off the old card! I then noticed the sketch on the current Sketch and Stash Challenge uses a circle so have made this card for that. My neglected stash used is the blue card base, I bought a pack of these coloured cards ages ago and don't use them! Also new is the silver frosted card I used for the snowflakes (cut with a QK die), and the message is from a new Penny Black set of stamps. The backing paper is DCWV.
I made this card for 2 challenges, Sketch and Stash (my old stash was the base card which I have had for years! and the stamp is an old one too) and Papertake Weekly Challenge which this week is 'Faking It' - I did faux stitching on my card. The papers are from Funky Fairys Cherish collection.
I needed something fairly easy to make today and the sketch on the current Sketch and Stash challenge was ideal! I used my new Penny Black stamp, Garden Visit, and watercoloured it in with my Marvy Le Plumes. I used a scrap of Brenda Pinnick paper for the background, and inked round edges.
I decided to do the Sketch and Stash Challenge again this week, and used my lovely new horse stamp from Linda Luckin stamps that arrived today (click on the sunflower link on the right), together with some lovely Funky Fairys papers, from the Cherish and Hope collections.
I don't usually, but have on this occasion, combined 2 challenges. The first is the Penny Black Saturday challenge which is Let's Get Dotty, and the second is the new Sketch and Stash Challenge which is to use a sketch and new stash.
I have followed the sketch, and used some of the fabby new Dots are Distressing Vol 1 papers available to buy as downloads from Funky Fairys Papercrafts and my new and up till now unused Penny Black stamp, An Afternoon.
