Friday Sketcher

I love this week's sketch from Friday Sketchers and have made 2 cards (Beth is asleep and Ellie has been colouring in).


I watercoloured Tilda and then cut her out using my wavy rectangle nesties. I cut the matting layer out in the nest size up, and so it fits on the card better I put it at a quirky angle. I faux stitched and inked the papers and then added punched leaves and flowers and a ribbon. I added a sentiment on a tag and tied it to the ribbon.
The sketch is still there - honest!!!
This is one of my Uncle's birthday cards (his birthday is on Monday). Again the image is watercoloured. I have kept this one very simple, and rotated the sketch, so the buttons and peel off could fill the white space!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Magnolia Pink Tilda with Rose; Penny Black Say CHeese cake, salutations
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Kanban; MME Everyday Tango
Embellishments: Punched flowers and leaves; button, ribbon and gems from stash
