Sweet Sunday Celebrate You

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC218.

There are a couple of tilted panels in this week's sketch for those of you who like that kinda thing. I ended up straightening them just a little because I have a hard time with tilted panels. Shhhh. Please don't tell anyone! ;-)

I used the adorable Pure Innocence Birthday Girl from My Favorite Things. Here dress just begs to be paper pieced so I used the Basic Grey Kneehighs collection. Her dress looked so good paper pieced that I decided to paper piece the balloon too. And I added some sparkle to the balloon using my clear Wink of Stella pen. I popped her on foam tape for a little dimension.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's Blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Happy Birthday

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC206.

I love the main circle on this sketch. Well frankly, I love just about any circle on a sketch, and I used this week's sketch to create a birthday card for a sweet friend who celebrated yesterday. Happy Birthday Lisa!!!

Pure Innocence Birthday Princess was a perfect choice and I paper pieced her dress and crown with patterns from the Fancy Pants Wonderful Day collection. I added sparkle to the heart and the candle flames with my Wink of Stella clear glitter pen. I mounted her on foam tape for a little dimension.

For the flag accent I used the Mix and Match Banner Die-namics but I trimmed the sides because it was a little wider than I wanted. The dots in the background were stamped using Natural ink on Kraft card stock and I love the subtle look.

On the inside I added a sentiment from Birthday Greetings and another strip of patterned paper.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Witches

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC194.

I used the sketch to create a fun Halloween card. I like Halloween but I don't really decorate for it, but for some reason I really enjoy making Halloween cards, and Pure Innocence Little Witch was calling out to get inky. I flipped the sketch to work with my image.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card base then added a layer of Fuse Green. I used the big Spider Web Die-namics to cut out the Black Licorice web for the background. Along the bottom of the card I used the Small Scallop Border Die-namics to cut out the Orange Fizz strip then I stamped the sentiment with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink.

For the image panel I stamped Pure Innocence Little Witch with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card then coloured her with copic markers. I paper pieced her dress with a polka dot paper from Fancy Pants Oct 31 collection. I fussy cut around her and mounted her on foam tape to the Sweet Tooth rectangle, which I cut out using the Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I added a layer of Blu Raspberry underneath for a little pop of colour.

I cut a strip of Grapesicle for the horizontal element then stamped it with Border It - Mod Borders using Grapesicle Premium Dye Ink.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
