Tuesday Morning sketches & tic tac toe.

Tuesday Morning Sketches has this card idea.
I'm busy making Mother's Day cards and this became the starting point for my card.
I used a heart shaped doily instead of the oval.
There is a tassel on my card as an embellishment.

***********************************************************************************

My next card used the same background paper but is for Tic tac toe challenge



I've gone across the top row. Circle,flower and die cut.
With the die cut glasses I've given a nod to Mum, who used top say "Let me put my glasses on so I can read the card."

Challenge Yourself

This month there is a tic tac toe at Challenge Yourself.

In my case I've gone across the middle row and used buttons and washi tapes.

There is some shadowing on my scan, but no matter how hard I pushed on the lid of the scanner, it still showed through.

I've used 4 different washi tapes, plus 3 yellow buttons as required.

 I also used a transparency bicycle from my November kit "St Tropez" and 2 wood veneer daisies featuring darker yellow/tan buttons to match those on the yellow washi tape.

Paper Issues Pinspire me challenge

At paper issues they have a Pinspire me challenge based on this.

I happened to have taken an astronaut photo in Melbourne so that is my starting point.
I was inspired by the triangles in many colours and the striped misting in ble,purple and pink. Together they made up this layout.

100 layout challenge

I've recently joined a facebook group named 100 layout challenge.
As I have recently had 2 holidays,one in Melbourne, I decided to scrapbook that.

Here's the double sketch I'm working from.

and my 2 layouts stitched

Crafty Girls corner, 4 crafty chicks and Cardz4guyz.

Crafty Girls corner has make it green as their challenge.
Cardz4guyz wants something with a tail.

I've had this chipboard crocodile/lizard/dinosaur for a while now.
I inked him in green then mounted it on green papers.
As  final touch, I added teal green pearls on his spots
The card's sentiment says Get Well.
It could be for a boy or a man who is sick.

And at 4 crafty chicks they want brads.

I've used a large brown brad in the centre of my flower.
This is an affirmation card for a teen age girl.

Counterfeit Kit sketch challenge.

The challenge at Counterfeit kit was to use this sketch.
I've modified it slightly and sewn the button right in the centre of the photo. Brave eh?

One technique I adapted was the 2 border strips weren't long enough so I overlapped them and used 3 enamel dots to visually finish the line.
I've used mainly geometric patterned paper on this layout to go with the statues.
