Hi Everyone
I would like to start with a big "thank you" for all the lovely comments you left on my Handy Hippo post yesterday about the little ribbon tutorial I posted. I was quite worried about posting it in case people thought that I was trying to "teach my Grandmother how to suck eggs"!! But it seems to have gone down well and people are looking forward to next week's instalment. I don't feel so bad now. LOL!!!
I thought I would have a play with another sketch today so strolled over to the Sketch N Stash Challenge blog thinking that will be nice and straightforward .. .. but no .. .. I was wrong.
Why?
Well this week they are doing a "free choice" week which means that you can choose any sketch from their complete catalogue to use alongside your old or neglected stash!!!
My oh my .. .. how many gorgeous sketches were there to choose from?!?!!? Answer .. .. too many!!!
But eventually my decision was made and this is what I created
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3205H" Sunshine Hedge!
Backing Papers: Papermania V & A "Hanoverian Linen Paper Pack"
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Woodware Punches: Daisy
Martha Stewart Punch: Daisy and Frond
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Chalks
Button from the Stash Box
As for what is old or neglected .. .. well I cannot say that any of Penny Black images are neglected .. .. but this one is definitely old!! I have had this little beauty for a few years now.
Then this is my chosen sketch.
Sketch No 64
So that is me for today.
I'll catch you again tomorrow.
There is still lots to cross of my "do list" today so I had better get back to it if I want to see my bed this side of midnight!! LOL!!!
Have a good evening
Love

Brilliant card Jules, soft and feminine. Hope you get through your 'to do' list! Hugs x
Perfect choice Jules! Love this soft & pretty creation. I've had my daisy punches out again & was wondering how you get these perfect little 'creases' in each leaf? Any tips?

P.S. Love the ribbon hints, I think we can always learn from anyone however much we think we might know!
A beautiful card Jules with so many lovely layers. The PB hedgie stamp is another cutie! Enjoy your day.

Gorgeous cards Jules. Funny how we both have a passion for hearts! I have lots in my kitchen which I hadn't really noticed was a collection until my Mum pointed it out!

I've just had a nosey at your ribbon tutorial. Creating the bows is great, I never thought of doing it in two pieces. Thanks for taking the time to do the tutorial and making it so clear and concise, perfect.
