Inkspirational Elly-phant and CTS Thanks

Hi there It is soooo hot today and I was back at work too which was great! Ok I got busy last night and completed FOUR challenge entries so this will be a long one as I wedge 2 in one post. I tried a new challenge site – Inkspirational that was suggested to me and this week they had a sketch challenge.

And here is what I did with it! I was demonstrating using the  blender pen method to make a  multicoloured image and made this cute wee elephant which was perfect for what I had in mind. Simple but very cute.

 That Elephant which is of course from the limited release exclusive Sale -A-Bration Patterned Occasions stamp set is so stinking cute!! The colourway is quite funky and fun too Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip along with that Fancy Fan embossed Whisper White

And now for challenge two the CAS(e) This Sketch Challenge Now as we know Clean and simple IS a challenge for me but I think I might have aced this one and whats more I made a matching Easel Mini Calender. 

Another couple of SAB sets here Thanks from Vintage Verses and the rest from Bloomin’ marvelous and you can just catch a glimpse of the SAB exclusive Embossing Folder Vine street. Colours are Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral (Yeah I do really like it) Soft Suede, Certainly Celery and Pool Party.

 

 

 

Seize the Birthday Dynamic Duo!

Just found this NEW challenge site called Seize the Birthday so thought I’d give it a go. Each month they will have two sketch Week one will be girl theme week will be boy theme and then repeated for the 2nd sketch. Here is their first sketch the theme is Girly!

I combined this challenge with one that has been going for a while Dynamic Duos. Their challenge for this week was to use only Certainly Celery and So Saffron with my choice of any Neutrals to go with it, i chose Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.

I used my new Everything Eleanor stamp set and also a leaf and bird for one of the upcoming Sale-A-Bration stamp sets. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. My Paper Piercing templates and piercer are getting a real work out lately Going around the oval is a bit of a challenge but I found by moving the Christmas Ornaments template around  I was able to get a fairly good piercing line.

Sorry the photos arent up to much we had a power cut earlier tonight so had to take the photo inside when the power came back on after dark : )
