Sketch 'n' scrap sketch challenge

 



Here is the mid monthly sketch at Sketch and scrap

I'm in the middle of scrapping my 70th Birthday photos and this was a surprise gift I received from a friend up North.


The teal paper plus the pink flowers and stickers are from my Counterfeit kit.

My alphas are cheap ones I bought at a local chain store and once they are stuck you can't move them.

Everything else is from my stash.

Cardz 4 guyz

 At Cardz 4 guyz they want a nautical theme.


I've made this card using background waves paper then added a fussy cut tugboat from an old picture dictionary.

I used mini alphas for my sentiment.

This month's layouts.









This one makes up a double. 








                                               This one was for Sketches in Thyme.


                                 6 photos on this one!

White with One and Soul Scrappers.

 Here is the picture for White with One plus soul scrappers.


I used the same stencil as I did on the previous card. Also, on here are 4 photos of a cafe we visited while on holiday. I added some stamped bees to link in the fact I bought honey at this shop.

I added wood veneers plus black hearts from the alpha pack.

 From my Counterfeit kit I added the word BREKKY which finished off the mini alphas. 



Stencil Fun

 I made this card for Stencil fun using a Kaisercraft stencil and some orange paint.

I punched flowers in autumn colours then added my butterfly on top of one flower. The sentiment suits the card.

CKC September kit

 
Our kit this month is based on Cocoa Daisy Daily journal kit.

PAPERS

The papers are a mix of green, turquoise, black and white and orange. 



So, I started with that. 

Here are my papers


There's a prevalence of greens, but also turquoises, black (I didn't have much) and a couple of neutral sheets. There's a tiny bit of orange on one paper. 

I can add orange paint etc.

EMBELLISHMENTS AND POCKET CARDS


Here are my embellishments thrown on top of my papers. In other words, my full kit 

SPRING GREEN


I found these tags which suit the colours of the kit.


I will also use paints, inks, mists as I need during this month.



A big welcome to our Guest Designer Amy Jo Johnson. She is our guest designer for this month.

Farmquest

 We are asked to use a woodland animal starting with R.at Farmquest.

I've gone for the obvious Reindeer.

My background was made by mixing paint and gesso together then after applying it I dragged a plastic fork through it. This gave the texture. Next, I drew the reindeers face. I attached chipboard flourishes as antlers. The nose is a small chipboard circle painted.


My sentiment says "Deer me."
