Using A Sketch

Hello again,  last weekend we put our clocks back one hour,

we now have early dark evenings. I am so glad I recently

bought a Light Tent, I'm still trying to perfect the photos 

but I am getting much better photos now than I did 

before I bought it.

Today we begin a new challenge at 

Back to Basics and Beyond

We are introducing you to trying new techniques and 

this week it is how to  Use A Sketch

Please pop over to the blog to see the sketch you are to

follow, the details and of course the inspiration by the DT.

My card is a Kraft 7" scallop edge card.

The papers I used are all from a paper pad from The Range

Wild At Heart - First Edition - Trimcraft. 

The owl a stamp by Elusive Images (now Chocolate Baroque)

the centre panel waterolours were used. 

The leaves are die cuts by usding dies from The Works

Have fun using the sketch, I look forward to seeing your entries.

high prices for 'fat' postage.

stash to cover 3/4 of the card.

A topper onto the paper then white card.

The snowflake is a combination of a
