A sketch and a card...

Well Hello there! As the weather here today was grey I thought a day in my scrap room would be very much the place for today!
I finished off a layout I started for the April sketch challenge for Annas Craft Cupboard which looked like this....

So I used the first photo I came across in my drawer and I created this layout of my 2 sisters and I...  The lace along the bottom of the photo I think my sister (sitting closest to me) gave me once, I made the two big flowers, the flourishes were cut on my big shot, and also used MS punches..

Sisters...


and I thought I would do a card for the Flourish with a bling april challenge which was to take inspiration from this picture..
and I came up with this card... which I am happy with....(as someone who doesn't do many cards!!) the orange flourish really sparkles...

So that is how I spend some of today, thanks for sharing my day, and thanks for any comments you leave me!!

  7. Wow, this is beautiful, Lizzy! The colour palette is so pretty & feminine & I love all the variety of textures you've used. Fabulous work!

    Ps. I had to LOL at your comment on my blog about the 2 Lizzy's always following each other. I must confess that at first I used to get a bit confused between you both...lol. But now I feel I am getting to "know" you both a bit better, so it's not so confusing! haha. Thanks for being such a regular visitor & commentor on my blog...it really does mean alot. xx

  15. Your layout of you and your sisters is just gorgeous Lizzy, I really love your interpretation of the sketch and the soft muted pink/brown tones. Your card is fabulously fun with the bright cheery colours and I love the orange flourish and flower. As Gayle said it makes you wanna smile. Both projects are just Beautiful!
