Under the Weather Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #79 Tiddlyinks.

'Donna'

Good morning Sweet Sketch Wednesday followers, here it is another wonderful, warm summers day here in New Zealand. The last few nights we've been sleeping with a sheet over us and all our bedroom windows open just to cool the room down and for us to have a good nights sleep. My boys have 6 more days of school before they break up for the year and their Christmas break. I think they're counting down the days. This week I think their mother has lost her Mojo.......and I do hope it comes back real soon?

Friday Sketchers Challenge # 73

100% Sweet

Good morning everyone, here is my card for Friday Sketchers Challenge #73. Here is my take on the sketch.

Card base white SU card stock, the design paper is a Gina K Design Digi Download paper 100% sweet and the pretty pink gingham is also a digi download from Chris Dark's at Sketching Stamper which I got some time ago and the pink paper was from my stash.

Image is Tilda from the 2009 summer collection Tilda with Strawberries which I received today.

Colour Medium is water colour pencils and pink gel glitter pen. The pink gingham ribbon and the gems are both from my stash. I've used a water brush the cuttlebug and the Oval Classic and the Oval Scalloped Nestabilites. I think this paper went so well with the image and I couldn't wait to try it.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend

Hugs

Under the Weather

Good Evening everyone, well it was meant to have rained all day today!!! it would it's Saturday and it isn't meant to fine up until Wednesday. It rained through the night and that's the only rain we have had all day, we even sat outside at lunchtime pretty good for the end of our winter.

Another one of my postings, thought I should get a few on my blog in case anyone is interesting in looking at them.

Card Instructions and Supplies:
Card Stock: White card stock for the base 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Mauve and Aqua Bazzill from my scraps.
Design Paper:Gina K free Digi Download Jersey Shore Penny Candy, I had this paper for so long and I just wanted to do something with it and I had ribbon to match LOL.

The flower was coated twice with Glass Coat and the rain and puddle was coated once. The photo doesn't really show it off, but it does look lovely and the flower is raised up. If I was under the weather a card like this would cheer me up.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.
