Feeling Sketchy challenge card #91

Hello everyone !

We have a new sponsor for this challenge, Stichy Bear Digi stamp, along with Molossi, and I did use one of these digistamps for my card. Here is the sketch :

and here is my card :

I used washi tapes for the background (We R Memory Keepers), yellow cardstock, Copic markers, Colorbox ink, a small stamp for the sentiment (Inkadinkado), and the digi from Sticky Bear (Butterfly love).

You could win $15 worth of stamps from Stichy Bear and a $30 bling package from Molossi, so create a card using the sketch and upload it to the Feeling Sketchy blog before the end of June !

"busted" layout

Hello !

A new layout for my Istanbul album ! This picture was taken in a turkish cafe, at tea time (gouter for us Frenchies), and these two choose the chocolate fondue, of course...

So I keep the chocolate as a color, and use the decor of the cafe for the yellow and blue. 

You can see the Finnabair doilies stencil (Prima Marketing), as well as the Tim holtz one (faded dots) with Colorbox ink. BoBunny chipboards, flowers (Prima Marketing and I Am roses), a heart doilie found at Hobby Lobby in the cake section...

Another Prima stencil with modeling paste. You can see also pastel yellow and teak wall chalks (Prima Marketing), vintage photo distress ink (Tim Holtz). Papers by Recollections, stamps by Autumn Leaves, Inkadinkado...

I will enter this layout in the May Tic Tac Toe challenge (Rochelle Spears blog) for the line Masking-Leaves-Chipboard, and in the May challenge Simple Pleasures from the Berry71bleu blog.

Have a good day !

Art Nouveau frame

Hi everyone !

You maybe noticed that I lived in Scotland since last September now. I found a lot of inspiration here in the architecture of Aberdeen. You can see Art Nouveau everywhere and it's well preserved. That's what inspired me for this frame with a picture of my youngest :

I used my Cricut Expression, the Art Nouveau and the Fancy Frame cartridges, cardstocks by Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co., foam mounting squares by Front Porch Treasures, and Glossy Accents (Ranger).
You can find the steps to create this frame on the pages 61-62 of the Cricut Magazine April 2014.

Hope you like it !
