Deconstructing Sketch #102 - Just A Note...



It's time for another Deconstructing Sketch. Speaking of time I felt that I was running out of it to get this week's card done so there really isn't much too it...



I basically printed out one of Christy's BRAND NEW Tiddly Inks Fairies this one is called "Fairy Tenderhearted" and you can find her HERE at the Tiddly Inks Store. I then coloured her in with my Prismacolor pencils and chose some papers from MME's Kate and Co's "Oxford Lane" 6x6 paper pad and added some sewing and a button and.... WALLA! Card done and on time too! 

The sentiment "Just A Note" is from Hero Arts. The stamp set it comes from is pretty old now but Hero Arts always has fantastic sentiment sets! 

 Here is Jen's sketch for this week...

My Insta Week...







This week went so fast. Andy was away in Mildura for 3 days. Work was.... stressful to say the least and we are going to see Bon Jovi in December which wasn't even on the radar 3 days ago...lol! Anyway, this is my week....

*A little bit of art was done * A stormy, rainy morning * Playing with my new Beautiful Mess App, (do you think I might like the arrow doodle too much?) * Waiting for Cam to get out of school *  The morning sun taken while driving, (naughty I know) * Emily playing netball on Saturday morning * More art... It's not finished, but so far so good!*

AC163 - Sketch Challenge. A Little Something Just For You...



Today at Annabelle Stamps we have another fantastic sketch challenge for you!!

Here's the amazing sketch...



And here's my card....



I kept this card really simple. It wasn't a conscious thing but everything just fell into place and I went with it ..lol!

I started this card off by stamping on white cardstock the cute little image of Lil Bee's Big Flowers. I have been wanting to stamp this little guy for awhile now and today was the day!!  I coloured Lil Bee in with my Prismacolor pencils and found some co-ordinating paper by MME's Indie Chic "Citron" 6x6 paper pad. The sentiment "A Little Something For You" comes from another Annabelle stamp set called Squared Poises.






 If you would like to join us for this two week challenge just add your creation to the inlinkz on the Annabelle Stamps Blog and if you like any of the amazing stamps used by the DT you can find them HERE at the Annabelle Stamps Store.
