Sarah Kay Challenge Sketch *Week 6*

This week on the Sarah Kay Challenge Blog we had a sketch to follow. Please go and check out the stunning work from the DT this week.

Here is my take on the sketch. Sarah Kay and snakeskin...bit of an odd mix but I hope that it has worked as this is a birthday card for my friend Helen (hope it's reached you) whose birthday is today. Unfortunately Helen doesn't yet have a blog but I have a feeling she will...one day.


I used:
Paper - Imaginese and some snakeskin paper from my stash
Cardstock - Papermania
Sentiment - Hero Arts
Ribbon - Stash
Charm - Stash
Flowers - Prima and Poppicrafts
Leaves - Prima

PTW Katharina's Sketch #8

Over at PTW there is another fabulous sketch from the very talented Katharina.

Here is my take on the sketch using one of the Sugar Nellies that I recieved from my girl's last week for my Birthday. The beautiful lace was also a birthday gift from the lovely Cathy. The papers are from K&Co, the sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts and the flowers are Prima.

So sorry about the dark photo, we have no sun today :( but it has stopped raining :)

My New Stamps Arrived

OMG...I have been so spoilt this week. My Paper Gator finally arrived last week. I pre- ordered at the end of Feb 'cos I was fed up with my dodgy cormer rounder. Got the chance to play today and it cuts through everything like a knife cutting through butter.

Today my Sugar Nellies (previously I wasn't sold but these new designs are just too good to miss) and my Dreamkuts arrived...yippie!

Anyway this is my card for Cute Card Thursday
. Obviously I have used a Sugar Nellies stamp but I also used the Paper Gator to round the corners and shape the edges of my layering just by reversing the blade. Can't wait to try that out on mini books!

I Used:
