Case this Sketch Challenge 69

Hello all,

A busy blogging night for me tonight! Having two young children leaves very little time for crafting, let alone blogging, but I am enjoying some free time now they are in bed!!

Tonight, I have a card to share with you for the Case this Sketch Challenge. My lovely husband surprised me last week with a goodie bag of card making supplies that he had bought for me as a wee treat ;-) This included two packs of patterned papers by Papermania which I just HAD to test out.

One place that I find really inspires me, is the stamping' up catalogue. I love looking through and just seeing the 'layouts' of cards. I guess because I am such a relative newbie in the world of card making, I need all the inspiration I can get!!! Having had another look at the catalogue I feel my card is very much inspired by such 'layouts'…..and I love it actually :-)

Here is the inspiration sketch given by Case this Sketch..

And here is my interpretation…..

Cardstock - White and Navy from Papermill Direct, Capsule Collection Paper (Papermania)

Stamps - Wrinkles (Hobbycraft)

Dies - Xcut square Parenthesis dies

Tools - WRMK Art Deco Cutter

Embellishments - pearls (Anita's), String & Button from stash, Ribbons by Papermania Capsule Collection.

Ink - Memento Paris Dusk 

I hope you like it! Any comments as always very much appreciated :-)

Uniko Studio Guest Design Spot - Challenge 8

This month at Uniko Studio there is another fantastic challenge. This is the second month using the new  format of challenges which proves a stimulus of a photo, colour pallet and a phrase - lots to be inspired by. This month the colour pallet is just so fresh….

I am so excited that I will have a Guest Designer blog post appearing for this, following my win last month. This means I can't show you my card quite yet - you will need to hop on over to Uniko Studio on 4th April, but I will give you just a little sneak preview……

As always, any comments are very much appreciated xx
