Simply Stampin' Sketch Challenge

Good morning stampers,

This week over at Simply Stampin' it's sketch week, and we have a great one for you this week!

Today is my nephew Bailey's birthday, Happy birthday Bailey!! so I decided to use this sketch to make his birthday card, I wanted to make a fun bright coloured card, hope he likes it!

I started with the happy birthday builder wheel which I took off the wheel and mounted so I could use it as a stamp (I find it easier this way) and stamped it over the background in Tempting turquoise, Lucky limeade and Cherry Cobbler. I mounted this onto Cherry Cobbler CS, I used a piece of Tempting turquoise DSP with my scallop border punch for the banner strip, then cut a circle and run it through the Big Shot with my Polka dot embossing folder to echo the DSP. Next I watercoloured the car from the Need for speed stamp set in Tempting turquoise and popped it up onto my polka dot background. As I'd already added a sentiment over my background I decided to punch a scallop circle from Cherry cobbler CS and with my bakers twine create something a little different which I finished off with a button.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this sketch!

I'm moving next week so I doubt my desk will be unpacked in time for next weeks challenge but I hope you'll pop back to see me again soon.

Happy crafting, xx

Need For Speed!

Good morning,

Today I'm sharing a card for a young man who is mad about cars!! I don't have the Need for speed stamp set (yet! It's now at the top of my NEED list!) but a fellow Simply Stamper Kirei was kind enough to share her set with me (thanks Kirei), I knew the car image would be perfect for Stan!

I decided to go for 3 cars, why have one when you can have 3? The colours I have used are Pumpkin Pie, Lucky Limeade, and Pacific Point, I used the same three colours with my spritzer tool, to make the background I wanted it to look like graffiti, it kinda worked, I think.

I hope Stan likes the card and has a wonderful birthday!!
