Feb/March Sketch Challenges

Welcome to another round of Sketch Challenges.  This time around we have another set of challenges for your Cards and Layouts that should inspire and motive your creativity.  Once again Anita has outdone herself with some wonderful Sketch Designs, and we hope you enjoy the challenge!

February/March Layout Sketch Challenge

First up we have some samples from the Creative Team girls, who would just like to share with you a little bit of their inspiration.

My True Love by Anita Bownds (CT)

 

Anita has used her Monthly Pack to produce this lovely layout of her dear hubby. I like how the brown houndstooth mixes so well with the pinks and creams, giving it a more masculine feel even though it has "pink & flowers!"  I really love how this layout has come together, and I also noted that hubby only gave you TWO shots to get the photos.......

 

The handmade paper flowers and green leaves look great, and the green adds a nice contrast. The top and bottom of the paper ribbon looks great, especially with the uneven punching at the top.

An added touch of doodling around the border and outling the shapes adds definition, and the tangle flourishes also look very effective.

 Lil' Monsters by Sally Clark (CT)

 

Sally also added some DM to the monster on the scallop tag, and is in LOVE with that new red scallop ribbon!!

Sally said "I put the cardstock on the floor and squeezed some drops of black ink from shoulder height so they would splatter a bit.  I got a bit excited I think as the ink soaked through the paper and onto the floorboards in my studio.  Just makes it look like a real 'artist' lives in there!"

The blobs looked a bit flat, so Sally gave them a good thick workout with Dimensional Magic.

February/March Card Sketch Challenge

And again, some inspiration from the Creative Team girls.

Card by Claire Apostoloff (CT)

 

Claire has coloured the stamped image with Copic Markers. Added was one of Claire's punched flowers, touched up with Dimensional Magic and a pearl bling, and some Basic Grey chipboard. 

 

Claire has also done some faux stitching around the edge of the patterned paper, adding a spot of bling in the corners.  the layered mounting of the papers and stamped image look great.  A lovely card Claire, well done.  And well done also to Anita and Sally for their wonderful Layout Sketches.  We hope you are inspired to tackle these Sketches before close off on March 14th - Pumpkin Time!

February Blind CropVille

Hi Everyone, at this months BCV the girls were doing stamping, doodling, inking cutting and mounting. A bit of Dimensional Magic was added for a bit of shine, and a bit of bling. The girls layouts weren't far from the Master, all still with a bit of difference in the flowers. Add a couple of special photos and you have a beautiful layout. Also, I will be adding a coup0le of layouts later when I am emailed the images. Now lets see what everyone got up to.

The Master Layout - Love by Sally Clark (CT)

 

 

 

Our Wedding by Beth Metcalf

50 Years by Dawn Collins

Bec Loves to Sleep by Zan Boyle

Mother Love by Max Rusk

Puppy Love by Di Corbitt

 

Lilli by Jennie Seal

 

I thought we would also have a closer look at everyone's flower heads, just to see the difference.  I haven't named them all, but I'm sure you can have another look to see who owns what.

         

              

              
Now, we are also sharing layouts from our Creative Team girls, who took part in the CT Cyber BCV. Although the girls were using their own Scrapville products, and not the class kit, we can see a real difference in the layouts. Very impressive girls, and thanks for playing. Thanks also to Sally for coordinating that one.

Love You Boys by Claire Apostoloff (CT)

Hibiscus Flowers by Anita Bownds (CT)

Thanks for playing along girls, I like your interpretations.  Looking forward to next month!

More Creations to Share

Hi Everyone, we have a few more creations to share with you today.  The countdown is on for Pumpkin Time, so make sure you get your Sketches in.  As for the current Monthly Pack with the gorgeous BasicGrey Kissing Booth range, you still have a bit of time.

Sketch Layouts

The Best Night by Sophie Cook

Sophie did this layout after her Year 6 Graduation, where she had the Best Night!  She has tackled stitched bunting and handmade flowers, all glittered up.  Well done Sophie.
 Cousins by Roz Langridge

Roz has used an earlier Monthly Pack featuring these beautiful BoBunny Papers, and two gorgeous grandchildren!  I love the colours in this pack, and Roz has used layering, border punching and some Dimensional Magic to highlight some of the features.

Also very impressive is the flowers Roz made in the Blind CropVille last month - haven't they come up a treat?!  Well done Roz.

Monthly Pack Layouts

Be Mine Card by Anita Bownds (CT)

Anita has put together another lovely card with a beautiful mix of colour and texture.  The paper ruffle at the top and bottom of the card is so effective, as is the stitching on the hearts.  The sentiment tag blends in nicely in the centre.  Just lovely Anita.

Thanks for sharing girls, and be sure to work on getting your Challenges in before "you know when...."

Layouts from the Monthly Pack

Hello Everyone, here are some more layouts and cards using the gorgeous BasicGrey Kissing Booth range from out February Monthly Pack.....  I'm seeing that this range is a lot more versatile than first thought, with lots of different takes on the papers.  I hope you are enjoying yours, and if you haven't picked one up yet, unfortunately there are only a couple left!

My Valentine by Deb Pulford (CT)

I love what Deb has done with this page, especially since it features a "Man"... I love the way the white cardstock is splashed with colour, and how the little bits of colour on the co-ordinating papers and shapes are worked in.  Don't be discouraged with using this for boys/men - it can be done! Well done Deb.

Birthday Wishes by Claire Apostoloff (CT)

Claire has done a fine job with that glitter border, and used distressing and inking to add a little grunge.  A little stamped sentiment and some bling in the flower centres finishes it off.

Very nice Claire, well done.

A Little Birdie Card by Heather Bensley

Heather whipped this card up at CropVille last week, and how quickly it came together!   Those birds are just too cute, and the colour combination is a treat. A very nice card Heather, well done.

Be Mine by Anita Bownds (CT)

More goodness from this pack!!  How gorgeous is Anita's card?  Love the stitching and the paper frill behind the black heart, it looks fantastic.  The little border and added bling are just enough.  Well done Anita, and what a great way to make a few bucks at the front door on Valentine's Day as everyone is leaving......... and only 5c!!!!

Thanks everyone, can't wait to see what everyone else is doing with the pack.
