Elite Sketch Challenge #29 Redux

Back in January I enjoyed playing with Sketch Challenge 29 from the Elite Challenge blog that I wanted to use it again. It worked so easily with this set I'm surprised I didn't use it the first time! I took the opportunity to indulge in a lot of purple with this card too, which is always fun

Colour Challenge Butterflies

The December Inklings Cyberstamp was held on Saturday night, and this month I was the host. The first challenge I posted was a colour challenge: Lavender Lace, Baja Breeze, Brocade Blue and Certainly Celery. For my sample card I went with the new Butterfly Prints stamp set, teaming it with the grass image from Inspired By Nature. I had intended on putting ribbon behind the sentiment, but felt both Baja ones were too wide so I opted for strips of cardstock instead.

Love is Like a Butterfly

Another day, another butterfly card for the Elite Challenges blog! And another card that uses markers over already inked stamps... I'll see if the next card I upload can be a bit different in topic and technique . I've used another Summer Mini set on this card, in conjunction with a matching punch and Circle Scissors. Yes, Circle Scissors. Oh how I have loved playing with this fantastic tool... no longer am I circle challenged! I can now cut circles in any size from 1" up to 6" - I'm loving how easy and versatile it is. Anyway, to see the full card and all the product details, check it out at the Elite Challenges blog. If you like to see the circle scissors in action, just contact me to book a workshop.
