Throwback sketch May on The scraproom group.

 

I hadn't yet done a layout about the Queen's death so made this one today.

I'm pleased to have used an acetate sheet I have had for a few years as one of my layers. (black spotted)  I added a touch of gold with the corrugated card plus the alphas. The turquoise paper is one I stamped myself.  

Alphabet challenge

 

At Alphabet challenge they want dragonflies.

I had a couple of large dragonfly die cuts and I'm happy to use them on this card. 

I kept it simple because the dragonflies are quite big. 

This is a get well card. 

Cardz for guys

 At Cardz for Guyz they wanted pedal  wheels. (National bicycle month)

Here's my card. I misted through a brick wall stencil then added a chipboard bicycle and a dymo sentiment. Hope you like it! 

As you like it challenge

 Over at As you like it  we are asked to make either male or female card.

I had quite a few narrow strips left from my kit so decided to weave them to make the background on this. The cork sentiments matched it well, so I added those too. 

Here's what I had left, before I made this. I think I have killed that kit.

Challenge YOUrself

 

The challenge at ChallengeYourself is get messy".

I used a sunray mask with yellow mist as my main background. Next, I used several layers of paper behind my photo as mats.  I stamped the small red feather using ink and put it as a tab on the edge of the photo.

I also stamped using white paint, the big flower on bottom left next to the title.  The sequins were glued to the background. 

That was enough mess for me !!! 

When I went to upload my photo, I saw I had got top 3 for last month's layout. That was a nice surprise. 

Sketches in Thyme

 

Here is the latest sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I've used a paper which has a circle pattern on it but cut out the large circle by hand.

The smaller circles were cut from scraps.

I used the last of a scrap from earlier this month as my torn piece under the photos. I kept it simple without any extra embellishments.

Scraproom 2 layouts.

 This layout is for the Jumpstart sketch at Scraproom group.

and here's the sketch for it.

And this layout is Freaky Fast Formula

I used 2 lots of ribbon on this which pleased me. This is the recipe.
