Tried another sketch challenge at Stamp With Fun Challenge Blog this morning. Here is the sketch…I had to turn it…
I used Bazzill cardstock, Lasting Impressions for Paper pattern paper, Tilda stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Becket Expressions Candlelight card-stock, Martha Stewart border punch and the sentiment stamps are from a clear set by Wordsworth.
Just finished this card for the Sketch challenge at Just Magnolia Challenge Blog
The first two pictures are to “blue” compared to real life but I liked the crispness of the captured images when they are in full resolution!
This third picture is truer colors…but bum, still a little to the blue side!
Here is the sketch…
I love this sweet Tilda holding a tag…I used K & Co. pattern paper, an embossing folder, button brads from Making Memories (colored w/a copic marker Y28), EK Success corner and border punches, nestabilities circle dies, EK Success med and small retro flower punches, Martha Stewart’s frond punch, SU olive cardstock and Woodsworth’s sentiment and frame stamps.

New sketch challenge blog….ooooooh, sketches can be hard! This one was! I wanted to use some new stamps, so of course it was fiddle until I came up with something! lol The sentiment, cloud and grid backgrounds, the circle floral wood-grain are all stamps from Hero Arts. Tilda and the ladybug are from Magnolia of Sweden, colored with copic markers. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the three butterflies. The oval and circle were both cut using Nestabilities dies.
Magnolia-licious Highlites is the new challenge blog. This is the June design team sketch….click the link for details….give it a try!
The challenge this week on the Just Magnolia blog is Animals and Insects – please feature either/or on your card. The animal or insect does not have to be a Magnolia image – or even a stamp, it could be a die cut, a punch out, a charm, shaped button – anything as long as it is an animal or insect.

Well….I’m probably stretching it here because my ladybugs are pretty small…I tried to use the Magnolia ladybug but it just didn’t work out like I planned! I used the new EK Success bug punch and they did turn out pretty cute…took a little fiddling to get them to look like something other than a punch out!
I used grass, fern, corner flower and stem punches from the Punch Bunch. The yellow ric rac is from Making Memories. Tilda is from Magnolia of Sweden and colored with copic markers. “You are my sunshine” is from Wordsworth. I used a rectangle nestabilities die for the background.
Here’s a close up of the flowers and bugs!
Thanks for taking the time to check out my entry and I appreciate your encouraging words!!!
Vrrrroooom! The challenge this week at Just Magnolia is to make a shaped card – nothing square! Here’s what I came up with…Edwin is driving now!
The car folded in half into a card….
The card open…
I think it will fit into a A7 envelope the best…
The car is cut on the Cricut with the Graphically Speaking cartridge….some really cool things on this cartridge! Now to go look and see what everyone else came up with!
