A couple of sketches…..
Hey there,
I am still hanging in there. I am so thankful for strong pain killers, as they are helping. I can’t seem to get past the 4 hours without having more though! Hopefully with a few more days, my mouth will heal better. I am just desperate to feel normal again! 
Now I managed to just sit down tonight, have a cuppa and chill out stamping and colouring a couple of cards for Amy Rysavy’s Sketches. You all know how much I love Amy’s sketches! This weeks sketch is this one:
Fabulous hey!
Here is the creation I made with it:
Oh these colours cheer me up. Whenever I am having a “no-mojo” type of day, I tend to turn to these colours and they get me going. So I have used Chocolate chip, and Pumpkin pie cardstock, with Whisper white, and the Sweet Always DSP paper pack from Stampin’Up. I used the Owl together now stamp set and coloured it in with my Copic markers (see below). I have added some Chocolate taffeta ribbon, paper piercing and Pretty in pink brads to finish it off.
The Copic coloured markers I used on this card:
I had also started working on a card last week for Amy’s Sketch last week, but never got around to finishing it off to upload in time. But i have now and thought I would share it with you:
Here was the sketch:
the card i made:
This is a different colour combo for me, but I think it worked out okay. I have used Pretty in pink for the base, and added some Brocade blue spotty DSP, and a strip of So saffron DSP from the Good morning Sunshine paper pack from Stampin’Up. The stamp I used was a Gorjuss girl from Sugar Nellie stamps, which I cut out with my circle cutter, and mounted onto Saffron cardstock. I dressed it up with some wide Brocade blue grosgrain ribbon, paper piercing and some flowers topped with buttons from the Button Bouquet set from Stampin’Up.
Here are the Copic markers I used to colour the image:
For her dress and stockings, and outlines…
For her face, and hair, and the chook….
Thanks to Amy for such fabulous sketches to work with! Right I am off to bed……again!
Take care!
ack, sorry to hear you’re still under the weather, but I’m impressed you’ve been able to create in the mean time! Particularly loving that first card
Keesh - hope that you feel better, and have had a good night’s sleep. Are you on antibiotics?, Jo
Hi Keesh
I love the Sugar Nellie card, gorgeous colours. Thanks for sharing this wonderful work. Hope all is getting on the mend for you.
Take care

Hi Keesh,
You’ll be feeling better in no time now that the “offending” tooth is gone. I had to endure much the same thing a few years back and after a few days of tepid soups, etc (too hot and too cold were painful) I was back to my usual self.
Having a sore mouth has certainly not hindered your MoJo though!! These cards are both gorjuss!! I’m still working on my Copic technique - bought my first ones about 7wks ago and now have about 50 of them…..addictive, for sure!!
I’m also waiting on the arrival of my first ever Gorjuss girls stamps and can’t wait to spend some time playing with them.
Hope you are back in top form real soon.
Hugs, Michey. xxx
Lol - your ‘mojo’ whilst in pain leaves my ‘full health mojo’ in the dust! Haha. Hope you feel better soon *hugs*
You are not helping me by using those AMAZING copic markers!! oh my gosh! I love the effect they have!!! *and wish list just turned into a small journal, LOL!*
Take care!

WOW Keesh these are gorgeous, your so good at colouring with your copics! What paper do you use for your copics?
oooh Keesh - so sorry to hear of all your pain!! I’ll say a prayer for you that you get better quickly!!!! Your card with Amy’s sketch is awesome!!!! You are so talented with the copics - maybe a tutorial with them in the future - when you are feeling better of course!!!
