~BLOOM~

Hi there friends,

It's time for a new Deconstructed Sketch.

It's been a super-busy week so far for me so i have no colouring to share.

I hope you like my card anyway....


The sentiment and papers are all from Pebbles, which made my card come together quickly and easily since they all match.

Here is Jen's fab sketch for the week....


Make sure you pop on over to check out the other DT girls for more inspiration.


I hope you have time to play along this week.

Thanks for stopping by, 

Hugs,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my HUBBY

Hi there friends.

It's time for a new DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH

Hubby celebrated his Birthday this week, and I am well known for neglecting him on the card front.

So I made it my mission to surprise him with a handmade card, even though masculine cards are really not my strong point.

Here is my card....


I've used this cool MR Fixit digital image from Mo's digital pencil, which can be found to purchase HERE

The image is printed on Xpress It cardstock, and coloured with copic markers.

I've added grungy stamping, denim, string, cogs and screws to finish off the masculine look.

Here is Jen's fab sketch......


Make sure you pop on over to check out the other DT girls for more inspiration.


I hope you have time to play along this week.

I am going to enter my card in Mo's May challenge HERE

Hello dear friend

Hi there friends.

To celebrate passing the 200 sketch milestone over at THE DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH, we are each choosing our favourite sketch this week out of all 200.

Since I really love colouring, I like sketches with a large area to color on, so I have chosen one of the earliest sketches, DS19.

I hope you like my card.....


I have used a cute new Saturated Canary image called BAKER. She can be found in Krista's shop HERE.

COPIC COLORS
Skin-  E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04

I think I may have used sketch 19 a long time ago. I'll see if I can dig out the card I made. Hopefully  my coloring and card making skills have improved since then.

Make sure you pop on over to check out the other DT girls and see which sketch they've used.


I hope you have time to play along this week.

DS#200 ~FOR MUM~

Hi there friends.
This week over at THE DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH, we are celebrating our 200th sketch. 

Big congrats to Jen, our awesome leader on such a milestone.

To celebrate I've made a card for my dear Mum as Mother's Day is this Sunday here in Australia.

I hope you like my card.....


The image is "FLOWERS 4U" by Mo Manning and can be found in her shop HERE.

She is printed onto Xpress cardstock and coloured in copic markers.

COPICS USED
Skin- E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
Freckles-  E13
Hair-  E41, E43, E44, E47, E49
Pants-  B00, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99
Top and flowers-  R20, R22, R24, R27, R29
Leaves-  YG11, G24, G28, G29
Flowers-  YR30, YR21, YR23, Y28, Y17
Pot-  YR02, YR14, E08, E09.

I used a little Pan pastel color on her cheeks, hoping for the rosy look, however little did I know that the brand new makeup applicator that I used was full of a black dust of some sort! (Hence the rather dark left cheek)

Anyhow, here's Jen's fabulous sketch.....


For more inspiration, check out the fabulous work of my team mates below.


I hope you have time to play along this week.
