Working With Sketches

Good morning bloggers, we're nearly there!

Are you ready yet?

It's time for my DT Project for this month's challenge at 

The Crafting Cafe, where the theme is

Working With Sketches

Here's a little Christmas tag I made using Sketch No. 4

I think it looks a little bit like a Christmas Bauble!

I was going to share some of the others I had made with you but 

the light is appalling & I need to get my wrapping up sorted so

I'm afraid must get on with it!

To make this little tag., I cut a the base circle from some corrugated 

cardstock using a nestie. I added a strip of Washi tape (I love that stuff),

then glued on some Poinsettia confetti using Pinflair Glue.

(I did try a quickie glue pen initially but it didn't want to stick).

I added some curling ribbon, & a plain white panel on the reverse,

to write my message on.

If you haven't entered the challenge yet & you're wrapping presents

The challenge is open until the 31st December.

Sympathy Card

Good Morning All,

The card I have to share with you today is one of those difficult ones to make.

Especially when it is a young person who has passed away.

I didn't want to go with sombre colours as I feel 

a young persons life should be celebrated.

 I'm sure we all feel differently about this but I like to think of 

a young soul soaring, finally free of pain & suffering!

I went for a simple design, on an A6 tentfold card.

The CS is linen embossed, I like the texture.

I added matt of coloured CS & a panel which was embossed with 

a Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder.

I found the quote on the internet. So apt as it's by

Robert Louis Stevenson who was from our very own Edinburgh.

Cut out with a nestie & inked with Spun Sugar DI

whilst still in the die. A few little pearls added at the corners.

A sheer ribbon bow to finish off.

Thanks for popping in.

I'd like to try this card in a couple of challenges:
