It's Wednesday again!?!? Where do the days go? That means only one thing, it's time for a new sketch from Arlana at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!
Have a few things to tell you this week too. Next month Sweet Sketch Wednesday will be turning ONE!!! To celebrate we're having a huge blog hop with 12 prizes and an overall prize, how sweet is that!
Hope you can join in the fun to win. It's going to be brilliant! I'm extra excited about it because it's my first big blog hop to be a part of and I just can't wait to see all the girls creations as well as everyone who enters.
Right so back to this week's sketch. Really enjoyed this one Arlana, thanks again. This is the sketch.
Our lovely sponsor this week is Kathy from Pixie Dust Studio, her images are just lovely as you can see from my DT girls cards. Excellent digi-stamps! This week the winner will get 2 digi stamps from Pixie Dust Studio and boy will they have a tough time picking :-) Go check it out and tell me you don't agree.
This week Kathy gave me the lovely image called 'Pals of the Past'.
With a name like that I just had to vintage it up.
He reminds me of a singer some people might know, called Gilbert O' Sullivan, way back when he was younger, he had a hat just like that. He is my Mam's all time idol, so guess who's getting this card??
(It's only because he is her idol that I know all this by the way. LOL!!)
The papers are all from the new Victoria & Albert range, I just love them. Wee Gilbert is coloured in with the trusty Promarkers and on the fence I added some crackle accents to make it look like a white picket fence. It sorta worked right??
I distressed nearly everything with some Antique Linen to really get the vintage look. The flower is a new Marianne die that is just awesome, it cuts a slit at the top of the second flower so you can thread the ribbon through to match any card at all. Genius. The button brad is from a Laura Ashley collection I think. The heart ribbon behind is East of India, I got this at the weekend with Mam when we went trim shopping. Yes, it is fair to say we are obsessed!
(My dad's idea for my little boy, all will be revealed shortly, I hope)
