Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #137

I needed a quick birthday card and had a stamped and watercoloured panel leftover from another project sitting on my desk.

When I need to whip something up fast, I like to play along with a challenge and Feeling Sketchy has this sketch for inspiration.

I made a shaker card using scraps of cardstock and vellum.  I used nesting dies from Spellbinders to create my panel and frame, layering up six frames for dimension.  I find this method is much easier than using foam tape to enclose the shaker material.  My stamped panel was created using a mixture of tiny images from Hero Arts and I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours.  The Hero Arts sentiment was stamped on vellum with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Thanks for dropping by!

Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #125

We have a new sketch to play with at the Feeling Sketchy Challenge Blog and our challenge sponsor is Polkadoodles.

Here is the sketch we're playing with.....

I went a bit crazy and created two cards! For this first one I used an image from Polkadoodles and used watercolours to create a shaker cards filled with fine pink glitter and chunkier gold glitter.

I used dies from Spellbinders to create my shaker and starburst embellishment and stamps and a die from Stampers Anonymous and Tim Holtz for my sentiment.  Everything was created from watercolour paper and I used a cheap kid's watercolour palette to colour everything.

My next card is another shaker and I used stamps from Avery Elle, inks from Stampin' Up and a small doily die from MFT.  The shaker is filled with a mixture of sequins from my stash.
