Back to Basics and Beyond challenge - Sketch

 Hi,
Its time for another challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond challenge blog.   This fortnight we have a sketch as above.

For my card I used an image from the Pamela West CD by Joanna Sheen which I had left over,  I matted the image on blue card,  a strip of pale blue card and a backing paper from stash.  added two die cut flowers and a butterfly with blue gems and a sentiment           which a did on the computer.

This card is actually for Vernons nephew who has just brought his own house. he likes to have a home made card for christmas and his birthday.  so I hope he likes this card I made for him.

Back to Basics and Beyond Challenge - Stencils or Masks

Hi,
Today we have a new challenge at Back to Basics,  Stencils or masks,  this is not my thing and I am out of my comfort zone and my mojo gave up.
I don't have any stencils or masks,  so I used an embossing folder as a stencil and inked it with Tim Holz Distress ink lucky clover which I won from Craftstash a while ago, the embossing folder is a cutterbug  embossing folder Holly leaves.
I matted the image on red glitter card and then on green holographic card,    for a change I put a red and a narrower green ribbon done the side,   finishing off the card with peel offs.

Hi,
Another challenge at Back to Basics and this fortnight its Watercolours,
After a lot of tries and I mean that I finally got a card made, I do mean a lot of tries years ago I could have done a scene but today nothing work.
 So in the end  I embossed a card with the embossing folder called Bee by Darice and watercoloured the bees,
I matted the card onto golod card and put a peel off edge around it.
I finished off the card with some bees from stash which I have had for a while and peel offs

Back to Basics Challenge - A Simple Stepper card

HI,
I hope you are enjoying this heatwave,  long may it last and we have a good summer for a change.  When writing this post it is 29c and its getting hotter.
Today we have another challenge at Back to Basics,  a simple stepper card.   I used a pink card which has a fleck in it,  and cut out a simple stepper card.  The image is from Cup Cake  Crafting its been in my box for a while so it was nice to use to make this card.  I decoupage the image with four layers,  at the sides I used a flower die strip and placed pink gems in the centers,  and a die cut butterfly and placed two gems on the body.  Finishing off the card with a pink bow and peel offs happy birthday.
