Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog - Guest Designer Project #4

Hello and thanks for visiting me.  Today I'm sharing my final Guest Designer Project for the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog.  I've had such a great time designing this month and I've had the pleasure of working with some awesome digital images.

For this weeks' challenge, I created this card using a sweet image from this weeks' challenge Sponsor Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Her name is Pippa and she was a joy to color up with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

This is a card size I don't typically make; it's an A-6 which is 4.5" x 6.5".  Lately I've been experimenting with different sizes and not sticking with the standard A2 size.  I'm pleased with how this card turned out and I really like the size.

For the challenge, there is also a sketch to follow and I took a lot of inspiration from the sketch but did stray from the placement of the sentiment because I just didn't want to cover Pippa at all.

I hope you will join in the fun over at Sketch Saturday and enter for your chance at winning some sweet images from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Sunshine - Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog

Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing my 3rd project as Guest Designer for the month of August on Sketch Saturday.  The image I used is Sunshine from The Paper Shelter who is the sponsor of the challenge this week.

The image was pre-colored so it made for a quick card.  This image is so sweet and the color combo was perfect and easy to match up with the papers I had in my stash. 

For the challenge, there was also a sketch to follow:

I decided to add the flowers, following the sketch as closely as I could. I distressed the edges of the focal image with a Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and inked the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The polka dot patterned paper added just enough visual imagery for her.  

I'm pleased with how Sunshine turned out and I hope you've been inspired to visit Sketch Saturday and join the fun.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Sketch Saturday Challenge Week 2 - Biker Girl

Hello and Happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing my design project, as a Guest Designer, on Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog.  Every week there is a new challenge sketch to follow and several designs to gain inspiration from.  I will guest designing during the month of August and here is my design for this weeks' challenge:

The Sponsors for this weeks' challenge is LeAnns World 101.  I chose to use the Biker Girl Digital Image.  She is adorable and stylish with her biker gear, helmet and fingerless gloves.  

In addition to using the image, the sketch to follow for this weeks' challenge was a tricky one, or at least for me! 

When I saw the sketch I thought wow, that's going to be a fun challenge.    I couldn't figure out how I was going to incorporate those squares.  I had a breakthrough moment when going through some scraps in my stash.  I came across some Gelli prints and the lightbulb went on!  

I used squares from the Gelli print and colored my biker gal based on the print. I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for the little Biker and her Scooter.  Dry embossed a black mat using the Cricut Swiss Dots folder and stamped/heat embossed the sentiment, which I thought was totally appropriate for a Biker...Free Spirit!

I hope you'll pop over to the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog and join in the fun.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
