Our Creative Corner Saturday Sketch Challenge

I love this paper from Canon Scrapbook.

I took a few liberties with the sketch, but hopefully it is still recognisable.

4 in 1 I think! Friday Sketchers #15 ~ Stamp Something, Summer ~ Penny Black, Ribbons ~ Cute Card Thursday, Soft furnishings

I think I may have got the elusive four challenges in one here.

This is the sketch for this week's Friday Sketchers; something that I would never have had the imagination to come up with.

It's a summery image for the Stamp Something Challenge.

It's a Penny Black image with ribbons for that challenge and for Cute Card Thursday, it has a button and ribbons which hopefully fall into the soft furnishings category.

Phew!

The papers are from Canon Scrapbook free downloads and the image was coloured with Pearly Paints and Whispers pens.

Once more, I would be delighted to read your comments.

Wedding on the beach!

I was asked by a friend to make a card for a couple who are getting married on a beach somewhere. As the wedding is in October I can only assume that it will be somewhere hot!

I was given a few elements to include which were the couple's names, the date of the wedding and some reference to the beach. I was also asked to make the biggest card that I could.

This is a piece of A4 card folded in half, I'm not sure what size you call it when it's a card and not just a piece of card but I'm sure you know what I mean.

The die cuts are all Cuttlebug, using a variety of card, including pearlised.

I was quite pleased with this... what do you think?

One tip that I have picked up along the way when making die cuts, especially small fiddly bits like these, is to put double sided tape on the back of the card before putting it through the machine, so all you have to do once they're cut, is to peel off the backing and stick them in place.

Engagement card for my son's best man

I wanted to make a special card for my son's life long friend (they have been pals since playschool) who has just got engaged.

He was best man at my son's wedding last month and acquitted his duties superbly.

I am now looking forward to dusting off the posh hat for more upcoming nuptials!

The papers and image are from Papermania and the embossing from a Cuttlebug combo.

You can get a close-up by clicking on the image of the card.
