Paperplay - "Sketch & Stash"

This week's challenge on Paperplay is "Sketch & Stash".  The above is the sketch by our wonderful boss! Sandie and the added challenge is to use something from your stash.

This week we are very kindly sponsored by Wink Wink Ink and I used a freebie digi which was available a while ago on their Paper Craft Planet Group.  There is a cute chick freebie available here at the moment (check out the left side bar).

Supplies: Digital image - freebie from Wink Wink Ink, MS border punch, 

PTI sentiment, misc button and ribbon from my stash, 

coloured with copics and embroidery floss.

I did adapt the sketch to have a square in the centre instead of a circle as the image had an existing border which I wanted to keep.

Thanks so much for peeking and I hope you get a chance to play along with this fun sketch this week.

It's a sketch!

This week's challenge over on Paperplay is a sketch.  I find these a little challenging!!!  - this is my DT Card for this week's challenge.

I used cardstock in orange and blue, an Anya digital image from The Greeting Farm, coloured with a mixture of copics and promarkers, (this image was in my stash coloured but unused!).  I added an orange button which Jane had sent me - thank you Jane (they are for sale here), a little one from MME and three blue fimo ones I made myself (I used a straw as the cutter... so they are tiny!).  I used the sentiment oval from Tales from Pollycraft (which were a freebie from Paula a number of weeks ago), which I coloured to match the image.

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you will take part in this week's Paperplay Challenge.  Happy Thursday everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving and a new Paperplay Challenge

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, hope all my American friends and family have a terrific day and wonderful weekend.  Thinking of you all across the miles and miss you lots.

This week's Paperplay Challenge is set by DT Member Sandie and we would love if you would play along.  This week she would like you to follow this sketch. You can flip/rotate it as you wish but you must be able to see the original sketch.   Have fun!!

Here is what I came up with for this Challenge - A Thanksgiving Card, (of course).

Supplies: Alison Spelman's Zeke the Turkey, Rough Riders Digital kit by Sande Krieger,

Nov 09 freebie kit by Eric Hernandez, Gold Pearlescent cardstock, buttons by Jane, paperclips and embroidery floss

I loved using Alison Spelman's digital image in last week's challenge so I used "Zeke the Turkey" this week - another great image available from StretchnBubbles.  I used two other digital kits in the card - both available free from twopeasinabucket.com.

The tag is from a Sande Krieger free digital kit - "Rough Riders" - available here and the sentiments are from a Erica Hernandez November 2009 Freebie available here.

The buttons were a gift from my Hero Arts FLICKR friend - Jane, which she made herself.  Thanks for stopping by, hope you will play along.  Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Thursday!
