I'm very proud that Krista is willing to be our sponsor... not only that... She gave us images to work with!!!

Now that is a great gift don't you think?

Krista, I thank you for your generous amount of stamps to work with for the teams and I thank you for being such a warm and loving lady to work with.

Sketch #35 at CCWS

Goodmorning there ladies,

I know... it's way to early to think about Christmas... but trust me it's a relief to make those cards all year long and having enough when the time is there... And what is an easier way to continue in this then just follow our skeches challenges every week at Christmas Challenges with Sketches!

This week it was my turn to make a sketch and you can find it HERE on the blog!

Here is my take on the sketch and the twist!!! 

Behind the lovely magnolia you see a delicate tree form. I got this die for my birthday from dear friends.

What a great way to use it like this in this sketch. 

Of course I colored with copic markers

skin: E000,50,21,93

hair: YR24,23,Y21,11 Spica gold

Others: R30,32,35,37,39 Spica Red, B0000,00,02,04

Let me tell you about our sponsor this week... it's Elisabeth Bell again. And she is donating a wonderful prize! I think I need to do some shopping there....

Have a great week and please leave a comment to the other girls of the team as well.

Christmas sketch with non traditional colors

Goodmorning to you all again, when writing this post the weather is aweful. Looks like it's autumn outside. Large parts of the trees are all over the grounds and it's raining and grey. Although it gives me the pleasure of crafting a lot... I still hope we will get a good and warm summer!!

Today we start with a change on the Christmas Challenges with Sketches blog. We had a forthnight sketch but as from today there will be a weekly sketch challenge at the blog.

We have two design teams and I'm part of the Snow Angels team. And this week it's our turn to

work with the sketch wich is made by my dear friend Claire. Unfortunally we have to say goodbye because she will be leaving us due to personal issues.

Claire... you will be missed and I pray for good outcomes! Your sketch was a delight to work with!

I used a wonderful stamp from Whiff of Joy

Colored with copic markers and Stickles

Text Stamps by AmyR available at All that Scraps

and the balls and star are cut with my Silhouette machine en embossed with clear embossing powder

Hope to see you at the blog and joining the fun.

I was working completly outside my comfertzone with the papers that I used!!  And with all the busy work for the upcoming training I didn't find a good mojo and feeling while making this card. So it's not the way you are used from me... but I hope you forgive me.... 

See what I mean? But the sketch is amazing and you can find it at the Blog HERE.

This time the sponsor is Michelle Perkett Studio. 

She is offerering a stamp by choice for the winner.
