Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Sketch!

Hello, I’m back to let you know that there is a new challenge starting today over on the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards challenge blog.  And I’m letting you know because I was asked to become a DT member. Yipeee!

Lovely boss lady Joanne emailed me and I did not hesitate to say yes. What an awesome privilege to be part of another talented team. Wow, how lucky am I!  Someone pinch me! (Not hard though please, I bruise easily!)

My fellow teamie Sam (check out her amazing creations here, she is a colourist supreme) recommended me, thank you lovey you are a star, and I have been grinning ever since!

So enough waffle from me what did I make for my first DT post?

Well this is a sketch challenge and here it is.




A fab layout don’t you think, no matter what your style is.

Well we had some beautiful images from our sponsor Whoopsi Daisy to work with and I used this gorgeous lady on a garden swing. See her here in their shop.



I printed my image onto Neenah Solar card and coloured her with my Pro & Flexmarkers (not very well I have to say (Sam, I need help!), adding Flowersoft to the tree for a ‘blossom’ look.

The papers are LOTV Country Lady, rather appropriate I thought, and I matted with brown card and distressed to give a vintage feel.

I followed the sketch to the letter and did not add much embellishment apart from the crochet lace ribbon and some pearls.



I have a couple of occasions coming up that this would be appropriate for so I will add my sentiment when I’ve decided.

I hope you will join us at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards. It’s a great sketch and so easy to follow. Check out the blog for all the wonderful DT inspiration and play along!

See ya!

Scribbly hugs
Jane xx

    PS - I don't think Skeggy can have changed much in years! Still got the Pier, lights, clock tower roundabout and loads of fish & chip shops!!! So whereabouts in Lincs are you from, if you don't mind me asking? We live just down the road from Skeg - near Sutton-on-Sea.
