Sketch time

Morning fellow crafters and friends. Hope you had a good start on you day and that you are ready for a new challenge from us at the Bearly Mine Designs. This week Donna is providing us with a lovely sketch to work on. Feel free to rotate or flip but we must be able to see the sketch in your creation. Great! Can't wait to come and see what you do with this one.

This week I have used one of the Paper Shelter pre coloured images as I messed up card number one and card number two that I made for this challenge. Not that clever to forget to attach half of the card and then think you have followed the sketch. Second one got lovely dirt print from my cat Tage. He is really living on the edge at the moment. Grrr!


So that left me no option a late card making night it was and I was so nervous and still are. So hard concentrating.  I am heading for the stable this afternoon for the first time in about 15 years. I suddenly feel afraid of horses! My gosh! I spent four and a half year riding in school while the others was doing their sports. At that time you wasn't allowed by the doctors to take part in the normal sports education but riding, cycling and swimming was ok. It didn't hurt your joints. Now they say, do as much as you can without getting more pain. It will not be any riding lessons but a class about leadership and things like that. Still nervous if you wonder. :)

I show the second one I made as well, didn't like how that turned out but it's done and I show it anyway. I have used a TPS image here as well and that's also a bit big for the sketch, but at least I have coloured it all by myself. LoL Here is designer paper used from Floral Breeze and paired up with a Marianne die swirl and some punched flowers. The lace border is made with a Magnolia die. Added a charm for decoration on this card as well.

So this little image called Mucha Influence Spring will help me out this time. She's pre coloured, told you that before and the designer paper is from the digi set called Paper lace. A doily is added just as the sketch suggests or a circle if you prefer that. I went for doily and then added some flowers and tried to get some text into them instead of just plain text.




Sponsoring us this week is Marianne Design and Letraset. From Marianne Design you have a lovely set of dies up for grabs and from Letraset you can win a set of skin tones markers. They are great and most of you probably know that I usually use their products to colour my images. I just get adventurous every now and then and use something else, like today. See you over at Bearly Mines!

Love n hugs
