Friday Sketcher's 47

Here is today's card for Friday Sketchers which I made for a treasure of a friend (excuse the pun people but I can not help it, hehe). I got The Big One papers as a present from my friend and thought it would be nice to make him a card using these papers.

Materials:

Temptations - The Big One - Papermania
Black Brads
White, Orange and Blue Cardstock
White Gel Pen
Black Pigment Ink and Rainbow Sparkles
Swapped Stamped Image (Sorry don't know its name/brand)

Tools:

Sizzix Decorative Accents
Big Shot
Anit's Die Cuts

How to:

1. Cut a panel of navy blue cardstock and a smaller one from patterned paper.
2. Trim a small scalloped edged panel to run the length of the card and doodle white dots using a gel pen.
3. Colour the image and cut it in a circle. Cut a slightly larger panel with scallops.
4. Die cut two accents and stick so as to overlap as one.
5. Stamp, emboss and cut the flowers.
6. Set the brads and stick the die cut sentiment behind the image.
7. Stick everything as shown.

Thank You Card

For this week I decided to go vintage and make a Thank You Card for a special person. Living on island surely has its advantages blue skies and sea, sunny weather throughout the summer, ice creams, and so on. Still, getting some of the products out there can be a challenge if not for internet or the nice craft shop on our sister island. Well, this Ann often brings me small parcels of goodies from England and I just wanted to thank her for it! I made this card for her and I hope she likes it.

I am also posting this for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, which had the theme of 'On the Farm'. I would have liked to use cows for the image but don't have any. Well what better chance of seeing a hedgehog if not on a farm?! Definitely not on the Maltese roads lol! Hope this counts and is accepted by the Penny Black designers team!

Materials

Vintage - Busy Scrapper's Solutions - HOTP
Mini Embellishment Kit - Yellow - Papermania
Skipping Rope - Penny Black
Fibre Markers
Black Staz On Ink
Edging Scissors
Thank You peel offs

How To

1. Cut a square from the wine paper slightly smaller than the card. Then cut a smaller square from the flowery paper. Round the corner of the latter using edging scissors
2. Stamp and colour the image, use a compass to draw the circle and cut around it using edging scissors.
3. Cut the tag from the collection of papers and stick the thank you peel off (I used a black permanent marker to colour it).
4. Fix everything as shown. Embellish with brads.
