I am really outdoing myself this week! 3 blog posts in 4 days! There is method behind my madness though. It's nearly end of the month, which means all the challenge entries need to be in. I'm also leaving on a little holiday with my DD early tomorrow morning. So it might be a bit quiet around here for the next week or so. :)
Today I'm sharing both my November entries for
'Stuck?! Sketches'. I always have so much fun with Sara's sketches. First up is the
1st November sketch.
Here is my take on it using a photo of my friend's gorgeous little girl again. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the beautiful photo, as my lovely friend, Kathy, took it and edited it. I have had the papers (Crate Paper 'Emmas's Shoppe') in my stash for a while now, waiting for the right opportunity to use it. I'm so glad I waited, as I think it's just perfect for this pic.
My cluster using a variety of different flowers, mainly from Prima and Kaisercraft.
My title is from
WOW chipboard. I painted the whole chippie with gesso and then changed 'eyes' to turqoise to match the colour of her eyes.
Now for the
15th November sketch.
... and my take on it, using another photo of my mum on her wedding day. The lady with her, is her mother (my grandmother). I've used the
Prima 'Rondelle' collection, which I LOVE.
A close up of my cluster. The
rhinestone flourish is from Kaisercraft. The
vine is from
Prima and so are most of the flowers and leaves.
I really love the
fabric alpha stickers that Prima has with most of their collections now.
A little cluster in the top corner. :)
That is all for this week I think. I have to start packing soon or I will be up all night. :O
Thank you so much for visiting and for your lovely comments. I really appreciate it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Until next time.
