Some weekend fun!

This weekend I found some time to play in my craft room a bit. I played along with two challenge (woohoo!)

First up, the fun sketch from 'Tis the Season

I start with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock that had been sitting on my desk for weeks, just calling my name. Then, I sponged Night of Navy, Blackberry Bliss and Strawberry Slush onto the Irresistibly Yours DSP (love this paper!). When it came to the sentiment, I sponged the same colours onto the stamps to give it a gradient

Check out their challenge this week - I love this sketch, and I never need extra encouragement to use stars ;)

Supplies:

Stamps: Wishing you a Merry Christmas (Stampin' Up! ' Paper Pumpkin kit')

Ink: Night of Navy, Blackberry Bliss, Strawberry Slush

Paper: Whisper White CS, Blackberry Bliss CS, Silver Glimmer, Irresistibly Yours DSP

The next card I created was for Freshly Made Sketches:

I was super excited about this little pig stamp. It's from On the Farm by Stampendous. I coloured him in with Copics and then picked out some papers to go along with it. The background was sponged in Sahara Sand over a chicken wire (hexagon) stencil from Memory Box.
