Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch#112

Classic Fashion Elegance

Hi everyone wow it's Wednesday again and that means its Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I'm back from they Sunny Gold Coast in Australia and back to a New Zealand winter.  Before we left the New Zealand winter had been one of our warmest on record and very little snow that's why we didn't go skiing.  This week its just the opposite, one of our coldest on record and snow every where.  Closing some of our Airports down, it's either a feast or a famine.

New Zealand's Snow

we don't have snow where we live.

Gold Coast Australia

I would rather be back on the Gold Coast or even Carins Australia at present as it's a lot warmer and a lot of sunshine and it's only a 3 hour flight from New Zealand.

Congratulations to all our winners this week there were so many amazing cards.

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY SKETCH #111

PRETTY SHOES

Hi everyone, well it's my last day in Australia today with my family.  It's school holiday's and we should have been on the ski slopes of New Zealand rather than being in Australia and getting a little winter sunshine.  As our temperatures have been really warm in New Zealand there isn't as much snow as there should be so might have a few days on the mountain when we get home and the boys go back to school on 1st August.

Today is Wednesday and it's another Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Hopefully scheduler will have been kind to me again this week and posted my card when it should have and on time.

Congratulations to our winner this week and our top 3 there were some amazing cards.

This week we have another wonderful sketch from Arlana which you'll love and I loved working with it.

Card Recipe

Base: White SU
Card: Black & Green Bazzill, silver glitter paper
Design Paper: Unknown
Image: Petty Shoes from DigiStamp Boutique
Colour Medium: Copics, Silver atyou Spica by Copics
Sentiment: PC generated using Black Chancery font
Tools: Cuttlebug, Nestability Deckled Rectangle, Fancy Labels 2, Classic Oval, Classic Scalloped Oval, Pop Dots, Glue Dots, Silver Ink and finger dabber for the edges.  Martha Stewart Rose leaf punch.


Embellishments: Roses I bought at SENDZ I just had to have them as I love this green.  Gems, Silver Twine I used for the hanging of the shoes. Silver glitter hearts for the shoes. This lovely silver ribbon I found in Silver and Gold I did put green ribbon on the card and it was too much so that's why I went with the silver.

I love this card and it was Jeannie that gave me the idea for this card as I fell in love with her card using this same image a few months ago.

 

I feel a little bit of a cheat this week as there was very little colouring but the silver applique took me ages  to stick down but I love the finish.

Wishing everyone a great week and have fun crafting.

Isn't this image cute?

Good morning everyone and yes it's another wonderful Wednesday here again.  That can only mean one wonderful thing that it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Today I'm off to the Airport to pick up my best friend and her family.  She has been home in Germany for the last 5 weeks visiting her family.  The sad part for her is she has to say good bye and when your parents are getting older it isn't easy.  Her son and my son started school together and are totally Soul mates unfortunately they are at different schools this year,  but they try to see each other when they can.  Her second is her daughter and my younger son and her are in the same class at school it a composite  class where you have two class in one Year 5/6,  Ryan is the year 5 and Amelie is the year 6 these two get on so well when they are together they are like two old women nattering away.

Congratulations to all our winners last week there were so many wonderful cards totally amazing.
