Charisma Cardz Sketch Challenge

I really enjoyed doing this sketch challenge at Charisma Cardz although the colours look really dull in the photo, it's actually quite a bright card in real life.

I started with a green base that's actually a nice bright colour. I matted the dp - not sure where it's from - on some brown cs for the main panel, and ran some mossy green Core'dinations cs through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. The picture is a digi-stamp (I used the ready coloured one) and the sentiment is computer generated. I finished it with another strip of brown cs with a sticky ribbon, and some peel off dots coloured using peel off markers.

Thanks for stopping by

Digi-stamped card



This card was digi-stamped using 'Vicky' from Sketching Stamper, then the dress was paper pieced using K&Co Sparkly Sweet paper (close-up below)



I layered her up on Core'dinations CS and matted it on black. The background is the same paper again matted on black and to break it up I added the black Dovecraft ribbon. The image panel is popped up on foam pads and I added 3mm Artwork crystals to finish it off.

As it turns out, paper piecing is my favourite technique (this week anyway), so it fits in with the challenge over at Charisma Cardz: "My Favourite Things". Looks like I'll be entering my 2nd challenge in as many days!

Thanks for popping by!
