Challenge #23

A Fabulous Sketchie

The fantastic thing about sketchies is you can apply them to anything pages, book covers, altered items and cards, we have put together a few samples for you to kick start your mojo

Julie has made this gorgeous sample using Cherry Cupcake Papers, Mia & Cupcake Stamp coloured with ProMarkers, and the fabulous Candi

This is an easel card with the Wild Rose Studio Classy Lady Stamp, Coloured with ProMarkers layer up and onto a Craftwork Cards On The Edge Card (Scallop), with Card Candi to embellish and Adhesive Gems to finish

I have also decorate a small ATC tin still using the sketch. I have stamped on a background using black Memento Ink, also Card Candi for the dots and More adhesive Gems. The butterfly is one of  our large Butterfly with Clips but I have detached the Wings from the body so I could give it a nice big gem instead :)

So I hope that helps, we can't wait to see your projects whatever they may be have fun :)

The Prize a £25 Bee Crafty Goody Bag PLUS a 10% OFF Voucher

Good Luck
