Crafty Sentiments - A Sketch

This week's Crafty Sentiments challenge is definitely not my fav, it's a sketch and this is a tad out of my comfort zone as it has quite a few layers on it. But they always say a change is as good as a rest! I hope you like it!

I used one of the April releases, Welcome Little One, isn't she gorgeous! I coloured her with my new aqua copics. 

Here's the sketch:

Don't forget to check out my teamates beautiful creations.

The stork

Over at Simon Says Stamp  they are having a baby challenge as Heidi is about to have a little one :) My Mum has used up her baby cards and has asked for a few more so I set about making some more and here they are!

I love this chick, I used it for Easter but I don't see why I can't use it more often so ...

A Torico freebie image (Chubby Chicks), Magnolia die, Papermania paper and a clear stamp (hmm, not sure where from)

This card uses the same clear stamp set, my minds eye paper (I think) and this freebie from Little Musings

This card uses some stamps I've had forever, a sentiment from Paula Pascal, a few pearls and what you can't see is some Papermania glittery vellum on top of the feet and hands, unfortunately the sheen hasn't photographed very well!

Guide my steps ...

.. as you promised (Psalm 119:133)

This is one of my current style baby cards, I'm trying for untraditional colours at the moment. I did a couple of these (some were baby cards, some were dedication/christening cards) but unfortunately this is the only on I remembered to photograph before sticking down the envelope (duh!!!)

I stamped a feet stamp in brown Ink it Up ink onto craft paper. I stuck this onto white card and then handwrote the Psalm round the edge. I then added a star charm on an olive green ribbon.

Hope you like it!

Oh, and this is for Simon Says Stamp Challenge

A baby giraffe

A neighbour has just had her first baby this week and I just couldn't resist using the new Animal faces digistamps from DigiSparkle, the only problem was deciding on which animal to use. I eventually settled on the giraffe (why a giraffe says baby I don't know, but it works!) cut it out with my oval nesties, glued on a blue gingham digipaper (free from somewhere!) and finished it with a ribbon (again, I seem to be really getting into ribbons at the moment!). It seems like a really simple baby card, but I like it!

Oh, and this is for the Bee Crafty challenge which is to use digipapers.
