I used my promarkers to colour in my image and then cut her, the mat and circle out using my nesties. I embossed the circle using my Swiss Dots folder, and embossed the dark turquoise cardstock using my flowers folder. I rotated the sketch and added ribbon, having punched slots in the cardstock to thread it through. I stamped my sentiment and added layered punched flowers and a swirl. The turquoise brads finish it off.Recipe:

I watercoloured the image and rotated the sketch. I matted my dp onto co-ordinating dark dp and stamped the sentiment. I punched flowers out of the dp and added brads to them.
I carried the sketch onto the inside, using co-ordinating dp again, but kept the sketch as it should be.
And here's the inside.
I coloured my image using promarkers. Its the first time I have done black hair ... not too bad. I inked the edges of my cardstock and image. I faux stitched the dp using a white gel pen, and added punched flowers. I made some paper beads using scraps of dp and added a charm. I finally inked up part of my Lavinia stamp and stamped the blossom in the top left and bottom right corners.
Again my image is coloured using a mix of promarkers and copics - the bee bled a bit, but hubby thinks it makes it look more that the fuzzy bumble bees we get in the garden! As the image is quite tall I rotated the stretched the sketch a bit. I haven't put a sentiment on ... I don't tend to put sentiments onto until I know what I am going to use the card for.
I coloured Hanish in and then took an ink pad to the background - he can't be looking too clean!! I have kept the layout simple, just adding a few button (no flowers for a boy's card!) and as I needed to balance it I added the wall rub on.
I watercoloured thei mage and distressed the background using Tattered Rose and Shabby paint distress ink. I used lace and ribbon for elements of the sketch and punched some flowers. I loeft the tag bits off as their wasn't much room! Finally I stamped a sentiment
Using the template I draw it fiently out onto 12x12" paper so that the sides touch like this :
Then I cut it out and score the two sides and rub any pencil marks out.
Simple as that.
I coloured Tilda in watercolours and distressed the background. I matted her onto some of the dp, and matted the patterned dp as well. I punched flowers and added gems to their centres, and cut a triangle for the photo corner 9a bit lazy there!! I was thinking about adding ribbon, but actually like it like this so I left it at that.
I coloured Willow with a mix of promarkers and my new copics and then cut her out using my nesties. I layered the backgrounds at an angle to mirror the angles matt behind the image. I used ribbon and brads for the detail on the middle band and punched the scalloped edge using my fiskars threading water punch. I added a copule of swirl stamps and some flowers and a swirl.
I adore this Maggie - she looks so happy splashing in the puddles! I coloured her with my promarkers and followed the Papertake Sketch from the last challenge (loosely!). This is going to be for a friend's little girl's birthday so I have kept it simple and only used cardstock. I ran some of through my Swiss Dots folder. It doesn't show very clearly, but I glossed the wellies, part of the umbrella and the puddles.
I watercoloured the image and distressed the background in antique linen and tattered rose. i added so greeny gold ink to the edges. I have kept it quite simple, using the sketch from Friday Sketchers again, and just adding some organza and a few punched flowers - I am definitely into less is more at the mo!!
I watercoloured my image using distress inks. I orginally used Walnut stain for the brown but didn't like the look, so the browns in the image are lighter than those in the dp. I cut her out using my nesties and inked the edges of the blue cardstock. I chose co-ordinating floral dp and matted some of them onto co-orinating cardstock. I added blue organza ribbon and punched some flowers and a swirl. I inked the flower edges and added pearls to the centres of them.
I coloured my image in using promarkers and inked the edges of the image and dp. I cut both the image and the sentiment out using my nesties. The sketch is quite simple and so I kept the papers and colours quite simple (I blame the SCSC challenge for having pink out!!!!) I punched some flowers and inked the edges. I layered some up and added adheshive gems to all of them. On the sketch the flowers would be in a straight line, but they wouldn't fit like that so I offset one..jpg)
Isn't it such a cute stamp? Vicky got it for me for Christmas and I hadn't inked it up as I wasn't sure when I was going to use it. However I have a freind who is a bit of a diary writer so its going to her with some bits and pieces.
I masked Tilda and the summer background, and coloured them using promarkers. I matted the image onto pale blue cardstock, and matted some of the dp onto pink cardstock. I added white mulberry flowers with baby pink tea roses threaded through them. I twisted the stems round a cocktail stick. I added baby blue organza to finish the card off. I was going to add some swirls, but I really like the simplicity and cleanness of this - so no fuss!
I do make alot of clean and simple cards for commissions, but very rarely for blog challanges. I watercoloured the teddy and chose just to use white, pink and green cardstock. I embossed the white card using my Swiss dots and D'vine Swirls folders and drew two embossed lines between the embossing. I cut the scalloped edges using my Fiskers threading water punch. Rather than add a sentiment I tied some ribbon round some white cardstock. I added white and pink brads to finish the sketch. Simple but effective I think.
I coloured Melinda in using promarkers and paper pieced her top, trousers and hair band. I followed Dawny's sketch, although I omitted the sentiment as I want it for a friend and a sentiment isn't appropriate. I added a button, a bit of ribbon and a charm.
I coloured Tilda in with my promarkers and paper pieced her dress. I used the sketch,m just changing one of the elements for a tag. I threaded the ribbon through my image as I stuck it altogether first - doh!! The flowers are punched with little pearls added to the the centre.
This is my interpretation:
I focused on the lime and blue colours and the flowers in the photo. I watercoloured the image and layered it using my nesties. I chose some floral dp to tie in with the wallpaper in the photo and the pink relpicates the pink flowers. I punched some flowers and a swirl and added pearls and a butterfly charm. Its quite pastelly for me!!
