Sweet Sunday Sketch 300

Today's post is bitter sweet as it's our last Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge - we're finishing off with 300!  I remember how excited I was when Karen asked me join her team back in January 2011 and how crazy my husband thought I was.

For this weeks card I used one of Stamping Bella's new images Chicks Who Couldn't Even because it fits how I feel - I Just Can't... Believe I was part of such a fabulous talented team AND I Just Can't wrap by head around the fact that this is the last challenge

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with pencils blended with mineral spirits.

I want to thank all the amazing talented Sweet Sunday Stampers past and present for always inspiring me and Karen thank you so much for letting me be a part of this amazing team.  Please stop by the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations.

JOY for a Sweet Sunday

Happy Sunday!  It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (SSSC296).  I took a few liberties with the sketch....

For my card I used Stamping Bella's Tiny Townie Jenny Feels Joyful stamp and Cut It Out.

The image is stamped on bella's bestest white card stock and coloured with copics.  I added some shading with pencils blended with mineral spirits.  I then cut out the image with the "cut it out".   I then used the "cut it out" on foam to pop the image up.  The DP is MME's Be Merry.

Ellie

This weeks Bellariffic Friday challenge was a sketch.  I took some liberties with the sketch because I wanted to try one of the new cut it outs from Stamping Bella 

For my card I used Tiny Townie Ellie the Elf stamp and cut it out.  

The image is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink onto bella's bestest white card stock and coloured with copics.  I then cut the image with the cut out - trick is to line it up from the bottom of the image and it cut beautifully.  

I then decided to try cutting a piece of foam to mount the image on and it worked perfectly.  I did trim it a little so you can't see the foam under the image
