On Your Wedding Day

It's new sketch time at Saturday Sketch and as it's Jen's Birthday this week we can choose any of her previous sketches. I've gone for this one

I've used a Forever Friends decoupaged topper and some Forever Friends backing papers. I've used hearts instead of the stars on the sketch. The large hearts are made of felt and held together with ribbon. They are from the Docrafts Forever Friends Kraft selection and there are five sets on the strip of ribbon. I've added some other punched hearts and some Stickles and a little heart charm to finish. I'm also entering this into the Crafty Friends challenge which is to add a charm and the Docrafts challenge which is to use a soft embellishment

Happy 40th Paolo

It's my cousin's husbands 40th Birthday soon and this is the card I've made him. I've followed this layout from Tuesday Morning Sketches

The 40 backing paper I made in Craft Artist but the smaller pieces are scraps from my Papermania All Aboard pad. The Forever Friends image is one I got in the sale ages ago and just right as Paolo is a taxi driver. The sentiment is by Stampin Up and I've added a little car charm too.

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Snippets
Crafty Friends - Use a Charm

Favourite Colours at Crafty Friends

I was asked if I'd like to be a Guest Designer for the new Crafty Friends challenge and of course I said yes. This is their third week and they're already getting loads of entries.

The theme this week is to use your favourite colour and I've used an image by their sponsor this week Rick St Dennis called Serena and followed the layout at Feeling Sketchy

I've coloured her with Promarkers and cut her out with Nesties. The backing paper is from a pad I got in Netherlands of all blue papers and I've used the divine swirls embossing folder for the card pieces. I didn't want to add flowers and then remembered this pack of little feathers I got  - a great deal for 99p

The greeting is by Craftwork Card and I've added some Stickles to her jewellery to add a little sparkle

And here is my card in full
