Real Quick

This needs to be quick as i want to try & get some more sleep. The wind has kept me awake, howling around all day. Will try & add details later. This is forKeesh's latest challenge.

Firstly, the inspiration pic:

And then my card. Tried a few different ideas with this on, and this ribbon arrived today, so re-made it again. Still not rapt, but time has run out. Had a bit of trouble with crystal effects running when I lifted card to place dimensionals underneath (duh, what did I think would happen???).

Must run.

Last go at Keesh's Sketch Challenge 13

Well I've gone a bit crazy with this sketch by the lovely Keesh. I've had a 3rd go! This is a bit different to the other 2 in that I've stamped in the 3 squares at the side instead of using DSP. I think its a bit too busy but it was fun.

I've inked up my 'Inspired by Nature' set for the 1st time. I saw so many lovely cards made by others using this set that I had to get it. I used my 'Stampin Write markers in 'Perfect Plum', 'Old Olive' & 'So Saffron'. I misted the stamp with water before stamping to give a soft mottled effect. I did the same a few more times & then punched the extra flowers out with my 1.25" punch. The little butterfly stamp is from a lovely retired set, 'Live Your Dreams'. I've used the Sanded background stamp to add a little 'something' to the background. I think I should've left off the punched butterfly. I really wanted to use a button with some twine but didn't have one in the right colour. Oh well.

That really will be it for today. Off to put bathroom back together (my life is sooo exciting LOL).

Cheers,
