Sketch Saturday - Sketch #389

Sketch Saturday is sponsored by The Paper Shelter this week.  Many of the DT gals used December 26th  on our cards.  Each of us used Santa in a different way.  I created a Copic colored, Santa's Workshop scene for my card and was thrilled with how it turned out!  I hope you will use Debra's sketch and play along with us this week!

A Day for Daisies - Showcase

This is a showcase week for A Day for Daisies.  This image is called Berry for Dinner.  It's the first time I've ever colored a squirrel!  I went on the internet and looked at some squirrel pictures, which helped me make decisions.  Mine are gray squirrels rather than brown.  One of the reasons I love being on the ADFD DT is for weeks like this that push me to develop my coloring skills.  Neat and Tangled's sentiment was perfect for this sweet image!

 (By the way, there's a free image bundle being offered with an $8 purchase.  Tree Top Dreams, seen below, is on sale for $2.00)  There's still a week to play in the watercolor challenge on the ADFD Blog.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #388

We're back with a new sketch for you at Sketch Saturday.  This one was perfect for the leaf I embossed on watercolor paper (a year ago) and added the embossed sentiment to for a sympathy card.  I colored the leaf with a variety of old SU! markers and watercolor brush.  I decided to keep the card CAS, so back in the scrap drawer, I noticed a discarded embossed card back, and used the debossed side of embossing folder in the background.

Stop by the SS Blog to check out the DT inspiration and play along for a chance to win this week's prize from sponsor, Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Simon Says Stamp! is this week's Sketch Saturday sponsor.  You know the prize - $25 gift certificate for their site!  My card uses some new toys I bought from Mama Elephant, called Believe in Magic.  Join the DT with this week's sketch and play along!

Creative Knockouts #115 - Something to Say

This week's Creative Knockouts challenge is "Something to Say" - we'd simply like you to add a sentiment to your card.  Image That is our sponsor.  They have an assortment of already colored images and black line, so you can do your own coloring.  I'm using Joyous Reindeer from their collection.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #386

Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor this week.  I decided to use their image, Glass of Wine A Day as a birthday card for a wine-lover I know.  I wanted to keep the glass big, so I made Debra's sketch into a long card, created a computer generated saying, and popped the glass out with Stampin' Dimensionals.   My friend likes to wear sparkles and bracelets, so I created a bracelet from some small rhinestones and used a gold Gel pen on her shirt and some of the flowers in the background paper.

A Day for Daisies Challenge #133 - Add Some Texture!

It's time for a new challenge on the ADFD blog. The challenge for the next fortnight is to add texture!  I used a favorite embossing folder.

The DT is sharing some new digis with you over the next two weeks. My girls is called Flying Fairy Joy.  You will love the fairy sweeties. They are so versatile and can be dressed up for any occasion! I was so inspired by my other Teamie's use of watercolored backgrounds, I had to give it a try myself.  Many thanks to Freshly Made Sketches for the card design idea.

I hope you will play along with us at ADFD.  The challenge prize is a free digi from the ADFD shop.
