Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 May's challenge

Good day

On the first Wednesday of the month it is time for new sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! We have 2 lovely and easy sketches. The ladies did some lovely work with beautiful creations. You can see seasons are changing since brighter colours do become more visible. We do have an optional twist of April showers bring May flowers, but that is optional.





For my first sketch I used this image from Passionate Paper Creations. This was a special requested birthday card for a young lady who do not like pink whatsoever. This really has a island vibe to it, but somehow I struggled to find paper in my stash. I used different dies from Crealies and Nellie Snellen. Papers are from my stash. I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils. 

Challenges I'm joining:
Double D - Birds, nest, cages
Incy Wincy 1 - 25 May - Use a die cut / punch
Crafty Friends #155 - Animals / birds




For my second sketch I used an image from Bugaboo. With Mother's day around the corner I decided to do a bit more feminine card with paper from Mintay's Graceful stack. Image was coloured with Prisma pencils and I added some lilac pearls for a finishing touch.

Challenges I'm joining:
As you like it challenge: Favourite sketches - I love SSW2 sketches by Kathie and a sketch is most of the time my starting point for a project.
The Sisterhood of Crafters - April showers bring May flowers
Stamping Sensation May - Anything goes with twist of flora & fauna
Unicorn challenge #76 - Pearls / Bling
Sweet Stampin - Rainbows & Rainy days

Hope you will come and join us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month to get your creativity on the go with a sketch or two! 
Hugs from Africa!

Hope your birthday rocks





Good day

This is a quick post of another teenager card. Though 19 is a bit more difficult, but I find music is an universal theme for any age. I used a Bugaboo image - Johnny Sing. Further I used bits and piece from my stash and a Spellbinder music embossing folder. Image was coloured with Prisma Pencils.

Challenges I'm joining:
The Male Room #161 - Dry embossing
Just us Girls #628 - Red, white & black

Thank you and have a lovely day!
Hugs from Africa!

Things with wings at Creative Moments





 Good day

Hope you had a blessed Easter weekend. We had our children home, so we had some family fun. 

Today I want to share a card I made for Creative Moments' Things with wings challenge that started the 15th of April. I had the sentiment from Mirtillamente - To Dream no1, to play with so I kept it kind of simple with a border die from Marianne Design. I just added an additional dragonfly in the lavender to give it a really spring feeling. The sentiment I printed in green and used some chalk in the background. The pink butterflies are part of the border set. 

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Craft Catz # 591 - April shower of Anything goes
Stick it Down - April Card Sketch
Let's Craft & Create #182 - AG or butterflies
Use your Stuff #446 - Spring / Easter
Mirtillament #8 - Anything goes

Hope you will come and join in our Things with wings or Anything goes at Creative Moments!
Hugs from Africa!

17



 Good day

I got this special request last week for a card with neon colours for a 17 year old girl. I had this image - My Music - from Sheepski design on my table for ages now and it fit a girl of 17. The paper is from my children when they were in the primary school and needed neon papers for a project. I decided to go with the orange and yellow for something different. I used a Nellie Snellen die for the background and some Afrikaans sentiment on the yellow with a 17. I fussy cut the image since the original die size did not fit on the card. Image was coloured with my Prisma pencils.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sheepski Design #61 - Make it cute
Crafty Catz #590 - Anything goes
Polka Doodles - Wk15 - Anything goes

Thank you for your visit and have a lovely day!
Hugs from Africa!

Another boy card




Good day

I played along with a few challenges ending up with another boy card. I just love boys, elf/fairies and green, especially this vibrant yellow green, for me it is a symbol of growth. I used a Marianne's design star emboss folder on the back. Then I used some alcohol inks for the triangle. Coloured this mage, Candy Elf from Alicia Bel with Prisma pencils and fussy cut it and dropped the candy part and add a airplane die to go with my theme for a boy. 

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Can you handle the pressure - Emboss with twist of green
Morgan's Artworld #4 - Anything goes
