Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #34

Well, I would like you to meet Ellie (I named her LOL).

I think she is super cute. This is another stamp that I got from Peachy Keen Stamps. I really like their stamps, they are fun and happy.

I used a lot of swirls in this card. It made me think of water that Ellie could be shooting out her trunk.

Anyhow, enough of my ramblings, here is the card details.

Base: 4"1/4 x 5" 1/2 Basic Grey - SU
4 x 5 1/4 shimmery white, I used my cuttlebug on this,
The DP is basicgrey (not basic grey - SU cardstock) I then used pink twine around the DP.
Then I layered Pretty in Pink - SU and Basic Grey - SU, and then stamped Ellie on watercolor paper. Colored her in with my watercolor crayons - SU and an aqua pen. And here she stands all happy and pretty.!!! Enjoy

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #32

And Here is my first Post.....I really wanted to do this last weekend, but ran out of time. I hope you enjoy, TFL.
This is the card that I did for Beate's weekend challenge. I just got my order of Peachy Keen stamps in the mail. I wanted to use them, and I couldn't think of a better way to start. ;-)

I started with a 5x5 card base in Soft Sky SU.
Next layer is Fall Flowers DP-SU 4" 3/4 x 4" 3/4.
I stamped the image of the Turtle on Shimmery White with Stazon Jet Black ink. Watercolored the image trying to match the green colors in the layers.

Under the Turtle image I did 2 layers one of Ruby Red 3" 1/8 x 3" 1/8, Old Olive 3" 1/4 x 3" 1/4.

Before I glued the Fall flowers DP down I tried some ribbon, (Michaels Craft Store).

The sentiment is from Garden Whimsey - SU, again on Shimmery White and the layered with Ruby Red, and Old Olive. I ticket corner punched the bottom layer.

I got these awesome buttons from my girlfriend for Christmas and thought the went great with the colors, Basic Grey's Collection of "Mellow" Buttons.
