Truly Scrumptious #9

There is a great sketch this time round over at Truely Scrumptious with the promp that you must include altered flowers...

That's right up my street seeing as i'm trying to combine my love of all things altered with my soft spot for the cuties... and the sketch seems to have kick started my mojo back into shape so i set to work!

As you can see i haven't gone for the DL card, i'm not a big fan of those to be honest so i squished it up a bit and made it 6x6, but i think the layout still works.

The flower i made from an old crochet type belt, I just cut a strip, thread some cotton down one side and pulled so it all gathered in the middle, i then cut the edges to form the petals {i made the other mini flower in the photo with the bit i cut off}
The papers are BG, K&Co and a wallpaper sample.

I coloured the Gorjuss with copics.

The stitching is a rub-on roller and i finished with ribbon and a couple of small die-cuts.

Now i just hope my mojo will stick around so i can have at least one day of my hols when i managed to craft and have fun!

Truly Scrumptious #5

This time round over at Truly Scrumptious

Michele has given us this fab sketch
With the prompt that the card has to be for a child.

...

I actually didn't think i had any children to make for but went ahead anyways and after i had finished, what did i spy on my calender.. yep my friends little boy will be 2 at the end of may...how perfect lol

...

And here is my creation...

I used a selection of basic grey archaic papers and some DCWV textured card

The dino was one my friend Claire stamped for me so i have no idea where he is from, but he's well cute! I coloured him using both copics and promarkers.

I used a couple of leafy punches to add dimension, and stamped an invoke art blank ticket and filled it with the word explore.

..

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment and you'll make my day!

And here is my creation


***

I used my nesties for the circles, one in textured card and the other in felt, the background paper is one from the BG "stella ruby" pad, and the flowers are Prima, centered with some funky fibre.

I coloured young miss Anya with my Lyra crayons, i'm slowly getting to grips with shading, but still i missed her face, so she looks a bit pale, i'll get there one day i'm sure!

Thanks for dropping by, feel free to leave a comment, it really makes my day x
