A very good morning to you all!!! Almost the first of June, I'll have some exciting news on that day. But exciting news today too!! We have been warning you for some time now but today is the day... we are celebrating Sketch Saturday's one year anniversary!!
As always Jo has created a gorgeous sketch for everybody to play with:
But the difference this week is... that we have all created some candy with it to give to one lucky participant. There are ten Design Team members, so ten chances to win candy plus our regular sponsor The Craft Barn has generously offered some birthday related prizes (check out the Sketch Saturday Blog) so that makes a total of eleven chances to win some candy!!!As I said we have all made a small package with this weeks sketch, each for one challenger, please go to each blog (you can find the links on the right) and put your name down on the relevant post, but please note: you are only eligible to enter each party bag candy once, and ONLY if you've already taken part in this weeks challenge too (please provide a link to your work in your comment on each blog).We want to thank sketch saturday challengers so this is why it's only open to SS entrants!(we will be checking!).
There is one difference though.... Each Party Bag Candy will close on each of the DT members blogs at 8:00 AM (UK time) on Friday 5th June, please note: FRIDAY MORNING.
The normal SS challenge (to win the goodies by The Craft Barn) will run until 11:59PM on the Friday evening as normal.
Now... that's it for the details... on to my candy :).
I made a paperbagcard. I bought a kit to make one from Card-Art (you can still see it HERE) and though I loved the papers, I never used the bag to make the actual paperbagcard. I figured this was the perfect opportunity. The image I used is from High Hopes stamps and she is called the Fairy Princess. I have had her for ages and loved her from the moment I saw here but never got around to stamping her up. Here is a close up:
Again 3D on there and she is coloured with my Derwent pencils, Copics and (for the first time) some Twinkling H2O. Her shoes and some of the details on her crown and magic wand are touched up with paper glaze and I used stickles on her wings. The little white dots are my attempt at fairy dust and they also have some shiny dots withing them done with a spica pen.The sentiment is from the Lily & Tweet Plate by Pink Cat Studio. The papers I used are Basic Grey Ambrosia, the tule is Bazzill and the flowers were done with my smallest retro flower punch with little gems in the middle. I also did the inside:
And here you can see a sneak peak of the inside:
Remember!! To win this candy join us at Sketch Saturday this week, leave a comment to this post and please provide a link to your work in your comment. Do this before Friday the 5th, 8 AM UK time.Have a great Saturday everybody!!
