Sketch Saturday and Lili of the Valley
Hi everyone. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I've entered 4 challenges on this post. The first card is for Sketch Saturday following this great sketch (above). I left off the sentiment as I thought it wouldn't look right so I hope it's still ok to enter! I have also entered it for Lili of the Valley which is to make a Christmas card for a child- I thought the cute polar bears were perfect for that!
Caardvarks
And I liked it so much, I decided to make another one!
Here is a little close-up of the ribbon!

So I'm not sure who made this stamp but I coloured it with copics- not much to do really- just some grey and cool blue shadows. The paper is new from the Papermania Christmas range. I also used my new snowflake punch.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (?); Paper (Papermania); Copics; Assorted cardstock; Ribbon (Poppicrafts); Brad (Lakeland); Punch (?); Fibres
Caardvarks
The next 2 cards I have made for the Caardvarks Challenge which is to use ribbon in a wonderful way! I saw a sketch in my Cardmakers Sketch Book which I thought I'd used and slightly adapt. I was going for the classic, elegant look which I hope I've achieved! The stamp is by Stampology- it's a new set which just features different trees which I thought was really unusual and I'm looking forward to playing more with it. The background paper is from the Old World Stack. It took ages to thread the ribbon through but I think it was worth it!
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Stampology); Paper (DCWV); Assorted cardstock; Ribbon (Lakeland); Corner- rounder punch (Woodware); Hole punch

The challenge over at Daring Cardmakers is purple! This is a very simple card using my new Papermania stamp. To be honest, I don't think I've made the best of the stamp which I really like so I will be playing around more with that. I simply stamped the stamp and then highlighted areas with a Quickie Glue pen and then sprinkled loads and loads of glitter on!
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Papermania); Assorted cardstock; Glitter (Lakeland and Glitz It); Punch (?)
