Friday Sketchers Challenge

Another day another card and here is my entry for the Friday Sketchers Challenge. I thought perhaps I nice bright card to cheer us all up after the rotten weather many of you have had. I must be in one of the few places that has not had snow, and yes I am in the UK.

Coloured with Whispers Pens

Papers are from the Papermania Sweet Nothings range

Papermania brads, ribbon & gems

Cuttlebug slider cut from papermania textured cardstock.

Dutch Dare 'Thank You' Challenge

On the Dutch Dare Challenge Blog they have set their challenge as 'Thank You'. Having not made a thank you card, I decided now was the time to do so. This is how it turned out.

I used

DCWV Blossoms & Butterflies for backing

Penny Black Stamp 'Poppy Fields'

Coloured with whispers pens

Sentiment was a stamp my mother in law brought from a car boot so no idea who made it!!

Ribbon from crafty ribbons

Anita's pin wheel gems and

butterfly gems from stash

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

This is a first for me, as I have not played along with this challenge before but thought I would give it ago. Over at Cute Card Thursday they have the theme this week of 'Valentines'. Here is what I made.

Penny Black stamp 'Rosy'

ABC Challenge 'Y Yesteryear'

As a fairly new crafter I don't have many old stamps but I did have this image which was given to me by a friend when I first started so I thought it would make the perfect image for the challenge over at ABC Challenges which is 'Y for yesteryear'. The idea is to use your oldest stamps or papers etc.

Matted onto papermania's Scrumptious paper

Matted onto papermania's textured cardstock
