Beate’s Weekend Sketch Challenge#64

I have been such a busy girl of late that I have neglected my blog and therefore my blogging friends. But to let you all know I have caught up on that much needed gardening and Spring Cleaning that should have been done at the start of Spring. I feel though now a weight has been lifted off my shoulders with it all done now…..PHEW!!

Well down to business……This is my first attempt at Beate’s weekend sketches. I have always been an admirer of her work and fabulous blog, so I thought I might just get off my backside and have a go!

Isn’t it just great……..there’s heaps of possibilities, and you can use any colour, paper and texture. I kept it pretty simple though and came up with this…..

Stamp Set– Season of Joy
Cardstock– Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose and Very Vanilla
Ink– Regal Rose and Rose Red
Accessories– Chocolate Chip Ribbon
Tools– Circle Punches, Round Scallop Punch, Dimensionals, Sponges, Tape and Scissors

I love this colour combo. It is one of my favourites and I like the idea of non traditional colours for Christmas cards. I sponged Rose Red around the piece of Regal Rose CS and snowflake but sponged Regal Rose around the larger circle. The swirls are stamped in Regal Rose.

This week I should be receiving my preorder from the Summer Mini…….YAY! I can’t wait especially for that scallop edge punch! (I won’t be doing any more of those hand drawn and hand cut scallops). So exciting.

I’m pretty sure when my order arrives I will be doing heaps of cards especially with that Eastern Blooms Set. Oh and I will be doing monthly stints over at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog as a guest designer. They liked my last tutorial so asked me to do something each month. How Exciting! So I will be working on that this week too.
