SALS Sketch 45

Happy Monday Ladies and Gentlemen!!!

I do hope that you weekend was wonderful!!! I am just returning from Baltimore, MD and am probably sleeping it off... :)

I'll give more details in a later post on what we did. I'll even post some of the photos from the bay!

This weeks sketch was super fun. Hubby's birthday is September 5th, so this fits him perfectly. Hopefully he doesn't watch this blog to closely or the gig will be up. lol

This weeks sketch was fun to work with. Had a little bit of difficulty with cutting out the image, but I finally managed it.

There are no special techniques used, just plain card stock and some generic designed paper I picked up somewhere.

The flowers I found on clearance at Michael's a couple weeks ago. I tipped them with a little bit of silver paint and edged the card with the same.

So, here is your lovely sketch to work with this week! Don't forget to thank Tess for her wonderful and fun designs!!

This weeks sketch is sponsored by Delicious Doodles!!! I really love their designs, truly. You have the chance to win FOUR free images!! Best of luck!!!

Creative Card Crew Challenge #37 - Dies/Punches

Greetings!  Creative Card Crew has a new challenge for you!  The challenge for this fortnight is to create a card using dies or punches (or both!). 

Our challenge this fortnight is sponsored by Delicious Doodles!  Check out the amazing images in their shop, you won't be disappointed! 

Our randomly selected winner for this challenge will receive 4 free digis from Delicious Doodles.  Good Luck!

For my card this week I used Delicious Doodles digi Celtic Fairy.  I colored the image with colored pencils and then added some stickles  and bling.  The little butterflies are a fiskars punch and the Celtic Knot background is fussy cut and layered over a piece of gold mirror paper.
