Feeling sketchy

This is for Feeling sketchy 195:

I turned the sketch to the left. The main background paper was from Anna Griffin and the other two pieces from Hot off the press. The image was part of a magazine freebie and epoxy stickers from stash.

Birthday buttons

Atm I'm hooked on making cards based on sketch challenges - definitely helping me to get on and make some cards in between life  - lol!

This is for Try stamping -or not - on Tuesday sketch 368:

The 'topper' started off life long ago as an ATC I did for a swap - we used to send within a group, so we always kept one for ourself - hence I still had this one - it already have the Stampington antique buttons inked in stazon red, with the surrounding edges brushed with fired brick distress ink. Buttons were added.

Today I stamped the little Hero Arts 'Have a wonderful birthday' and added the piece of ribbon with hand-tied bow. Background card is Hunkydory.

Colours are for Double D: teal and red colour - unfortunately, the photo or my card has made the red look more pink than irl.

Art Deco birthday

This is for the sketch on MFT sketch 389:

CHNC challenge 390

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 390 -  please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'non-traditional colours".

The lovely topper was rescued and upcycled from a card received last Christmas, matted on to a large copper tag on to some Hunkydory patterned card, with the addition of some snowflakes and the 'scrabble' letters.
