Cardz TV Sketch Challenge #5

Hi everyone! Once again it is time for another challenge at Cardz TV. This time the sketch team has been asked to challenge you to make an Easter card using one of the sketches from Kit & Kaboodle found here. I used sketch # 8 to create my Easter card. Here is my card :

I love this sketch and find myself using it often. My papers are from my stash and that sweet Easter basket is from Miss Kate Cuttables. I popped it up with some foam tape to give it some dimension. My sentiment is from the Easter Blessings sentiment stamp set at Cardz TV.

CardzTV Challenge Time!

Hi everyone! Our sketch challenge team at CardzTV is off to another start of challenges for you. Our first challenge is to create a birthday card using one of Mary's sketches (our choice) and a sentiment from CardzTV stamps. I had so much fun with this one! Here is the first card I created:

and here is the inside of the card:

The sketch I used is the following:

I stamped my image and colored her using Copic inks. Then I mounted her on my card. Using a sentiment from the "Going in Circles" I finished the front of my card with papers from the "Home Basics" Recollection 6x6 pad.

Then I decided to create a second card using the following:

and CardzTV stamp set "Going in Circles" again. I love this stamp set! I again colored the image using Copic pens and then mounted the little flowered circles taking them from a Mambi sticker set for my planner...(LOL) Here is the card:

Winter Card Sketch Challenge

This time around at CardzTV our challenge is for you to create a "Winter Card" using either one of the sketches below:



Here is what I have created using sketch # 7

What I love about using Mary sketches is that they are a great "starting point" to make me think "outside" the normal designs. I took the basic idea of the sketch and just "tweaked" it a bit to where I liked how it looked!
My snowman and sentiment were done using the stamp set called, "Winter Cheer" from Cardz TV and the Penguin was done using the stamp set" Just Chillin" from CardzTV. I used some embossing powder for the sentiment to give it a nice raised effect and also embossed the three small snowflakes around the sentiment.(Also from the stamp set).
My papers are from Recollections.I used my Cuddlebug and a Darice embossing folder to make the blue "dotted swiss" background.

Please check out all of the other great cards at CardzTV and then give our challenge a try. It is so much fun!
Have a blessed weekend everyone...
