Basic Grey Challenge and Get Sketchy

This is made following the sketch over at Get Sketchy where you also had to make your own embellishments. The flower was made on my embroidery machine about a year ago! Added some leaves cut from the cricut and a green brad in the centre. The colour challenge at Basic Grey put me onto the colours green,yellow. So I used Basic Grey papers from the wisteria paper pad, silver mirri card put through dotty folder. The images are magnolia coloured with copics and promarkers. The sentiment is one I bought this week from Nicky at stampingallday.co.uk. Excellent place, excellent service and lovely stamps. Added a yellow ribbon.

The Sugar Bowl, Basic Grey and Copic Creations

This card is made following the sketch and button theme over at The Sugar Bowl, and following the colour scheme over at Basic Grey which is PINK, BROWN AND YELLOW. Now you probably all know I do not like buttons, but the flowers I ordered from qvc arrived yesterday and low and behold 3 packs contain flowers with buttons. But at least I didn't have to actually handle them! The papers are all from Basic Grey Sultry pack, which is gorgeous! The image is Simon and Lola, flowers prima, ribbon from stash. I coloured the image using copics and I am entering this into the Copic Creations challenge which is open choice this week.
