Iv’e gone a little Sketch Crazy!

Yep that is me….Sketch Crazy! hehe

 I just loved Beate’s Weekend Sketch this past weekend. So I was having a little play with it, and then I made some more, and some more because it is just so versatile!!!

This is Beate’s Sketch

This was the first card that I made. Once again using the Berry Bliss DS paper, and the Boho backgrounds stamp set. I cut larger cirlces and then punched the wheel out with my scallop punch. I blinged it up with a white half pearl from the Pretties kit and some pink brads, and pink taffeta ribbon. The greeting is from the Spring Solitude stamp set stamped in Purely pomegranite ink on Whisper white cardstock.

Next I made this masculine card mainly using the Spring break DS paper (just love the colours of this paper!). I used my brand new Seaworthy stamp set surfer dude which I stamped in Blue Bayou, and double mounted with pumpkin pie cardstock. I used the greeting from the It’s a birthday stamp set, and followed with some Double Stitched Blue bayou ribbon and some olive brads at the bottom.

I just love how this card turned out. Good thing it is little miss’ 3rd b’day this year, I am already organized which will be a first for the kids b’day cards! I used Soft sky cardstock as the base then mounted Rose Red DS print paper with a strip of Pomegranite cardstock which I also added a strip of pink taffeta ribbon. I used the Big blod birthday stamp set with Apricot appeal, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, and Soft sky inks. I used the kissing technique to get the spots onto the top of the cupcake also. Then just adding the number 3 and the greeting with whisper white ink. Lastly some rhinstone brads from the Pretties kit along the bottom.

Then I thought hey, I will use this sketch for a scrapbook page! How easy this was. I was really missing my brother Bryn (he is my only sibling) who has been travelling the world for the past 18months. I never know where I will get a phone call next….last week it was Croatia and the week before Ireland! Anyway I dug out this photo of the airport farewell and put it together. I once again used the Spring Break DS paper, and some Pumpkin pie cardstock for the strips. I punched lots of little circles and layered them around the pumpkin circle to get the frilled edge. I covered a Chipboard U from the On Board chipboard and stamped the greeting with the Big Deal Alphabet stamp set, alternating between Blue Bayou and Wild Wasabi. Lastly adding the photo corner punch and a round tab punch for little features……Miss you Bryn!

Okay this is that last one…I promise! This is the same layout, I only did it upside down. Here I have used the Basic grey, Prety in pink and Purely pomegranite cardstock which I stamped with the Baroque Motifs stamp set. I have used the Big Deal Alphabet set again to do the title, along with another chipboard alpha for the “B” which I blinged up with the Heat and stick powder and the dazzling diamonds glitter and some pink taffeta ribbon.

Well that was heaps of fun! I will definitely use this sketch again :)

Thanks for looking and take care,

Love Keesh x
