2 sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 59

Here's my card for 2 Sketches 4 You this week - Kazan's sketch 59. I turned the sketch through 90° to make this.

When I was playing with my alcohol inks and distress inks the other day to make this card I made a couple of other bits in a different colour scheme and these are what I used for today's card.

As before the background panel is made using the clear embossing over a stamped image and then alcohol inks over the top before ironing to remove the embossing powder.

The butterfly image was made in a similar way by embossing with clear embossing powder but then using distress inks to colour before ironing away the embossing.

Materials used: Coredinations cardstock, Chapel Road Artstamp (background), Ranger alcohol inks, Paperbag Studios stamp (butterfly), Ranger distress inks, Versamark ink, CraftWork rhinestone flourishes, Wild Orchid Crafts paper roses.

Also used: satin ribbon, various pins and a vintage button.

2 sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 34 and a first for me!

Here's my card for the 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 34. I've recently bought Distress Inks again (I had some previously but sold them as I couldn't use them) and decided to have a play with them to make this card. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out although it's not a patch on other people's stuff and I've got a long way to go before it does! Anyway the DT at 2 Sketches 4 You used the Living Rooms Direct catalogue for inspiration with this sketch so I decided to do the same and took inspiration from this gorgeous rug:

And here's my card:

I used: Papermill cardstock, Bazzill cardstock, Distress inks (Mustard Seed and Broken China), Tim Holtz floral masks, Maya Road chipboard, black Stazon ink, black permanent pen, Cuttlebug embossing folder -script texture, My Mind's Eye paper, black netting, Magic Mesh, Kaiser rhinestones, Papermania pearl, Inkadinkado stamp.
