Papertrey Anniversary Entry #2 - Sketch Challenge

Continuing in on the festivites over at Papertrey Ink, here is my entry for the Sketch Challenge;

I used Snowflake Flurries and the matching dies to create a fun happy birthday card, I just love this colour combination of Orange Zest and Hawaiian Shores. Here is a look at my desk during the process;

 

I am quite a neat crafter! I just can't seem to abide lots of bits and pieces everywhere, this is as bad as it gets, however I think being so neat doesn't allow my to unlock my 'devil may care' crafting side.

Thanks for looking!

Shield your eyes!!

I decided to try and make some cards outside my comfort zone but didn't really succeed as well as I would have hoped as they still were too comfortable to make, I thought using brighter colours and colours I wouldn't normally use would be a challenge, turns out not so much.

I think I need to frequent some 'challenge blogs' to really get me thinking differently, if you know of a good one please leave me a comment and let me know!

April Card Challenge

So, here are my two entries. The theme was Red, Pink or Orange. I may have taken it too literally with the first card I made.

It was originally monochromatic orange, but it felt like it it all melded in together so I added some chalked Sizzix leaves and cream to the tissue ruffle and was quite happy with the end result, but still wasn't 'feeling it' so I also made this card:

I went with Pink Collage Press paper accented with orange and went from there, I think it's my favourite but the orange was very labour intensive and so I do have a soft spot for it!

March Card Challenge Results

My card was the winning entry for the UKS March Card Challenge and my prize was the current April mini kit from Leo at Crafty Templates and it's fab.

Here are the results of my first card from the kit:

My only additions were crackle paint, alcohol inks, chalk ink and metal chain
