Crafters Companion Sketch's

Sketch 1

This is the first card from the sketch challenges on crafters comapanion. On the forum there are weekly sketches which illistrate a layout and we design a card from this. The papers used here are from the crafters companion floral cd.

Sketch 2

The second week's card. This one is made using various embelishments, sticky ribbon, peel offs and the main circle was embossed with the cuttlebug.

Sketch 3

Again the panels are embossed using the cuttle bug. I stamped an image of a dog and coloured using sakura pens and coloured pencils. The ribbon is a piece of sticky ribbon, I then added finishing touches with the cute embelishment and stamped a happy birthday sentiment.

Sketch Card 4

With this card I decided to make an a4 card and used an image from the triple treasure cd rom and matted this onto a cuttlebug embossed pannel of white card. This was finished off with a piece of sticky ribbon and some silver peel off's. This is my for my Father.

Sketch Card 5

Again for the backing paper I have used the Triple Treasures cd rom. The added 3 panels of card embossed in the cuttlebug and the finished off with some letters cut using a cuttle kids alphabet die and then some silver peels offs.

Sketch Card 6

This again is paper from the Tripple Treasures cd rom. To this I have added 3 panels of star holographic card and then some silver peel offs.

Sketch card 7

This is a simple card. I used 3 white circles. Cut some flowers using the cuttlebug and the matted these together placing a gem in the centre of the flower. I placed one of these on a length of sticky ribbon. I feel this is a simple but effective card.

Sketch Card 8

This is the last one of the challenge cards so far.

I really like this one. Again I have used the triple treasures cd for the backing paper. Place a piece of silver holographic card accross the full card and the matted a cuttlebug embossed piece of white card and added and embelishment. I have then added some gems to finish the design off.

Well hopefull each week once I have done the sketch card I will add the finished card to my blog. Thanks again for looking and hope I have given you some inspiration.

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made. I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night. This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter. Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold. Well I felt much happier with how it was lookin

Birthday Card Trio

Hello all, I'm back again with another post for you. This time I've got three cards to show you. These are all made with products from Crafter's Companion. The 1st is another dragon card made using one of the Lee Holland Dragon stamps. I love these little characters :) I've had coloured this using spectrum noir colour blend pencils. I just love how much of a fun looking card you can make with these stamps. Next is a card made using a unicorn stamp. This has also been hand coloured with pencils. I've also used some backing papers and matt mirror and glitter card from Sara's Enchanted forest collection. Finally I've made a card using my Crafter's Companion BeBunni CD. It's a while since I've used this cd but I forgot how cute these little bunnies are. All of the cards have been personalised with die cut numbers and letters for the names. Hope to see you all again soon. Rachel
