Another dog walker

This adorable babe from Bugaboo and her pooch can be found here, the image is called Puppy Girl.  Bugaboo are sponsoring us at Outlawz Sketch this month.

I've tried to keep to a simple pallet scheme for this card and one I don't normally use.  The image has been coloured with Copics, she's been hand cut and distressed before adding to a frame cut in black card with a Spellbinders die.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks 

My design papers are from Lemoncraft, First Edition and Maja Design, all have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

Added to the card is a piece of skinny ric rac and some satin spotty ribbon, both of which you might be able to find at The Ribbon Girl before they close if you've lucky!

The other addition are a couple of little banners cut with a Fantasy die :)

Thanks for popping by for a look today, we hope to see you at the challenge

I chose Puppy Girlz as my inspiration for Outlawz Sketch challenge this week.  This image is from Bugaboo our sponsor for March.

The image was coloured with Copics and polychromos pencils.  After cutting it and mounting it onto some black card I doodled a stitched border.

I've flipped it on its side.  Apart from some more black card I've used papers from Santoro and a scrap of red flowered paper that was left lying around (can't remember who it is though - sorry!)

The sentiment is wood chip from Scrapiniec and coloured with Copic.

The ric rac ribbon was from Crafty Ribbons, I've used some black gems and two large chrysanthemums from Wild Orchid Crafts

Can you believe it - it's Christmas Eve tomorrow?  Hope everyone is ready for it :D

This is our last post before Christmas at Outlawz Sketch Challenge.  Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo giving a whopping $21 prize!

For my inspiration for you today I've got a non- Christmas card.  I've used Lily Trio which has been coloured with ProMarkers in very subtle coloured except the butterflies which I wanted to draw the eye in to look at.

I've taken a close up of a corner so you can see better what I've done.  The butterfly you can see where is a chipboard from Scrap and Craft.  I punched it out the coloured it with ProMarkers to match the image from Bugaboo.  You can also see a close up of the flowers I've used which are hortensias (Kort and Godt) from Live and Love Crafts.

This is out sketch for you today created by Sandra as you can see she's design it as a Christmas one but a most of us in the DT have produced non-christmas cards this time.

Here's my interpretation of the sketch today.  Instead of ribbon I've used some lace from my stash.  I used some chip board shapes at the top of my card from Dusty Attic.  I've then used three lots of flowers groups instead of three Christmas baubles.

Added to this are wood chip two butterflies as I described above.

The papers are from Lemon Craft and Lili of the Valley.

So that's it folks except we'd love to see you at the challenge and have a fantastic Christmas

This little cutie is OrnamentsBW from Bugaboo our sponsors at The Outlawz Sketch Team for December.

I've coloured her with Copics and ProMarkers, cut her out with a Spellbinders die and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen.

This is the fantastic sketch Sandra has prepared for you this week

I've used papers from Lili of the Valley and even managed to use some scraps up this week - thank you Sandra :D

Instead of snowflakes I've used some poinsettias and some red and white Tim Holtz paper string to create a garland effect. The golden holly leaves are glitter wooden ones from Hobby Craft and I've used some gold gems from my stash.

We'd love to see you over at the challenge

These beautiful Christmas shoes are an image from our current sponsor, Bugaboo at Outlawz sketch team

I've used a combination of Copics and ProMarkers to colour them with and some black polychromos pencil for extra shading.

Here's our sketch for today which I thought would be a fantastic one to do a CAS card.

The design paper is from Maja Designs.  I've added some doodles just like the sketch and used some black self adhesive gems at the corners.

I've added a sentiment to it which is made using a Spellbinders die with a little black heart gem.

A new month and a new sponsor at Outlawz Sketch challenge - this month we've Bugaboo Stamps fun images to work with to inspire you.

This cute little image is Avaorn which I've coloured with ProMarkers and Copics.  She's been cut out with a Spellbinders die and distressed with antique linen from Tim Holtz.

Added to this is lots of DecoArt glitter for the bauble.

This is today's sketch

And now you can see what I've done with it for my inspiration.  I didn't have the right shaped top border in a die to I used a curved one with a fancy inlay from Spellbinders using some red card stock.

I've used one design paper from Maya Designs and mounted that onto some red card stock.

The holly branch if felt and I got it from Hobby Craft last year and is a left over.  The ponsettia came with the holly as did the extra leaves.

The only other thing I've used on this card is a wooden heart which I also got in Hobby Craft.

We'd love to see you over at Outlawz

I was recently very luck to be picked my Mr Random on a challenge.  This was one of the fantastic images I picked from Bugaboo as part of my prize.  It's called Heels - Strap Bow.

I decided to try my hand with my Copics again and have just done the shoe in black and red.

I don't aften do CAS cards so I also thought I's try and keep this one simple and classy.

I've used my computer to create the sentiment before I printed the image off.

All I've done is use some black card stock to frame the image and add a bit of bling to the "I" in girl and to the top left corner.

And I totally agree with the sentiment ;)

Christmas "Ewe's"

At some stage I had to do something with sheep - the name of my blog is SheepSki Designs ;)

So here they are Christmas Sheep from Bugaboo.  They've been coloured with ProMarkers and as the main influence behind my blog is a black sheep I just had to do one black!

I wanted to keep the card CAS to showcase the image.  It also means its easier for posting at Christmas.  The sentiment came with the image too so I decided to use both together.

Bit of black card stock and some black and yellow self adhesive gems were the only thing I used to finish the card off
