Di Hickmans Sketch January #2

I made this card today for Di's second challenge of the new year http://dihickman.blogspot.com/, I've not really gone for the whole Oriental thing before but I found these lovely stamps in Lakelands and couldn't resist them. http://www.lakeland.co.uk/category.aspx/crafts so as the stamps are "New" I shall also use this card for DCM's Little extra

http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/

I stamped the images using black Stazon ink and painted with "Hot Cinnamon" Twinking H2O watercolour paints, the gold highlights were done using a glue pen and Pearl-ex pigment powder in Aztec Gold.

I know there's not much watercolour painting going on in this card but I thought I'd enter into Enjays Craft Challenge anyway http://enjayscraftpages.blogspot.com/

Sketch this cards 37#

Not my usual sort of card but I quite like it!!! James says it not up to my usual standard but I thought I'd post it anyway.http://janellerichmond.typepad.com/sketchthiscards/ I think it made a rather adventurous Valentine card!!

Floral Thanks

Ive made both of these cards for both the http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ "buttons" and http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ "thanks a bunch" Challenges. Buttons seem to make the perfect flower centre piece!

I'M NOT WORTHY, I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well when I put my cards in for Di Hickmans Card sketch team Call I really didn't think that I had a hope there are soooooo many cardmakers out there so much more talented than me so I'm not to dissappointed about not making the actual team but you could have knocked me down with a feather yesterday when Di's email arrived with the offer to be a Guest Designer for March. Well done to those who did make the team http://dihickman.blogspot.com/ This is just sooooooooo exciting and my first and hopefully not my last Guest Design Team spot!
