1 Sketch, 2 Cards

Good morning. Have we all had a good week. All I can say is TGIF....!!!!! It has been a long week in this house with my 6yr old home from school all week with the flu and gosh it makes a difference when he is home - not in a good way either. Now DH is sick too. Ahhhh I am supposed to be having a girls weekend and come hell or high water I will be going - sick hubby or not.

I have two cards for you this morning using the same sketch from The Secret Crafters Saturday challenge, papers and image but the difference is that I have used two different coloured card to colour on. Over at Shop Bron they have the Cordenons Blending card. It is very similar to the Express It Blending card but I tell ya what I love the Cream. The colours came out a little brighter but darker at the same time. Love how it came out.

Below is the two card colours side by side.

Cream on the left and white on the right.

Stamped Flowers

Afternoon everyone. Hope we are all well. I have had a busy week. My son started school this week full time and boy do I not look forward to the drop off and pick up. So many crazy parents and children and I am one of them LOL.

This card started out as another because card. I just made it as I love this image but couldn't find a challenge to use it with but lo and behold at The Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge this week the challenge is to use stamped flowers. Thankfully the gorgeous Sassy Girl here has flowers in her hair. Woot.

This gorgeous DP had the butterflies and I just couldn't bring myself to cover them up with the image so I cut around them and made them a feature on the image. Yay. I think it looks cool.

I am off to make some sugar cookies with my kids and 'hopefully' ice them with Royal Icing although I may wait until they are in bed. I will have to see.

Fairytales

Morning everyone. Hope we all had a great night last night. Unfortunately we had a bad one here with Tyler 5yrs coughing so much that he was vomiting everywhere. Unfortunately the thing I hate the most in this world is vomit. Yuck....!!!! So after not being able to get to sleep and then woken up not long after falling asleep I am a little tired today. I suppose we need to look after our little ones but it is still a pain. LOL.

I made this card last night for no other reason than to make a card. I wanted to use this gorgeous Fairy House purchased from Make it Crafty with Spesch Stamps Crystal stamp (the Fairy). It worked out better than I had thought I could do LOL. I loved colouring this gorgeous house. Pop over to the Make it Crafty store and pick up one of the fairytale houses. You will love them.

Thankfully I am able to enter this card in to the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge - Fairytales.

I think our fairy and fairy house fits in to that theme. LOL.
