I Joined a Sketch Challenge!

  Morning -I decided to have a go at a sketch challenge after seeing Kathies card. I even made two! The first one I used papers from Crafters Companion, flowers with a die from John Next Door, stencil from Artisan Designs, Sweet Pea stamp from AALL&Create coloured with promarkers.



Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

  1. Your sketch-inspired card is such a delight, Carol! The Sweet Pea stamp is colored with such care—those Promarker blends really make the petals glow. I love how the Artisan Designs stencil adds gentle movement behind the florals, and the John Next Door die frames everything with elegance. Your thoughtful note about digi prizes shows such heart and community spirit. This card feels both fresh and full of kindness.

  33. Carol, your sketch challenge card is a breath of summer—those Sweet Peas are colored so beautifully, and the Promarker shading gives them such life. The Artisan Designs stencil adds just the right touch of movement behind the florals, and the John Next Door die frames everything with elegance. I love how the patterned papers echo the softness of the blooms while keeping the layout crisp and balanced. This is such a thoughtful and joyful creation.
