The image is stamped 
and coloured with pencils, then matted onto a scalloped rectangle cut with one of my Nesties. I used a circle punch to create the scalloped edge effect, then a bit of patterned paper and some buttons and it was done - easy peasy! Stamp: drummer from 12 Days of Christmas set by Penny Black

This is the sketch and there's an optional colour scheme of Ice Blue and 
White which is perfect for a Christmas card. I covered the whole front of my base card with Let It Snow text paper, then added a strip of pale blue pearlescent card with some snowflake print ribbon on top. I stamped the snowman image in icy blue and inked the edges of the panel before layering it onto a Nesties shape and adding some gems. The snowflake is die cut and embossed, the swirls are die cut, and the 'Brrr' panel is from an embossing folder, highlighted with glitter pen.
Here's the sketch, i
t's a really simple but versatile layout. I started with a square white base card, then added some patterned paper with inked edges, matted onto bright green card. I added detail around the eges with faux stitching. The image is coloured with pencils and markers, and I've added glitter glue to the 'icing', then cut it out and made a scalloped mat with my oval Nesties. The flowers are punched with candy dots for centres.
The challenge is this great sketch along with a Wimbledon inspired elem
ent - strawberries and cream with a touch of chocolate! How yummy does that sound? I took this element for my colour scheme and used a cream base card, adding a square of red swirly paper as a background. The cute little mouse image is stamped and coloured with pencils before being matted onto red and brown card. I used the same card to make a tag for the sentiment, and two diecut hears which I put through an embossing folder for a bit of texture.
This is the layout - I tweaked it ever so slightly to lift my text a bit higher to a blank area of the image panel, so I added my 3 little flower embellishments at the bottom instead of the top. I made a white square base card and covered it with a panel of double-sided paper, distressing and rolling the edges to show the contrasting colour. I chose this image because it fits the theme of 'In the garden' at My Time to Craft and I think she is so pretty. I coloured her with Pro Markers and mounted the image onto pink and turquoise mats. 
This is Lilian's lovely sketch and I've used a cream scalloped card for my base, topped with a piece of Kraft-like paper with inked edges. The image is stamped in brown and coloured with pencils, the edges inked and then matted onto cream and brown card. I added some texture with the cotton twill tape behind the image and I put the punched flower shape through an embossing folder. I finished it off with a punched speech bubble for the sentiment and some brown and cream swirls.
I found a new blog c
alled Winter Wonderland (thanks Jules!) and this weeks theme is Blue Christmas, and Raspberry Ribbons fortnightly challenge is to create a card using shades of a single colour so I chose... BLUE! Everything on this card is blue - the image is stamped in blue on pale blue card; the background paper and mat strips are blue; and the ribbon is a deep blue although it does look quite purple in the picture! 
I've used one of the scalloped cards I bought today, with a lovely Leanne Ellis stamp that was part of the blog candy I won from Elaine at Quixotic Cards. The image is just stamped and coloured with pencils then layered onto pink and green mats. A strip of patterned paper, a frill and some candy dots and it's done.Stamp: True Love by Leanne Ellis from Sugar Nellie
Paper: from the Sultry collection by Basic Grey

I started with this sketch from Sketch Saturday and worked in pink and green because it's my favourite colour combo and just happens to be the challenge at the Secret Crafter this week. Now, over at Stampin' for the Weekend there are 3 song titles from the 60's to inspire you - I chose 'Please Mr Postman' because I've been dying for a reason to ink up this gorgeous little stamp. 
This is the sketch from CRAFT and the colours this week at Colour Create are Strawberry, Raspberry, Kiwi, Tangerine and Blackberry - you have to pick 3 and try to incorporate fruit into your design too. I cut my background squares from a dark purply-black metallic paper - so that is my Blackberry. For the pear image, I inked the stamp with 2 shades of green and a pink then matted it onto matching pieces of card - so that's my Raspberry and Kiwi. I also inked over the sentiment tag in the same colours. The silver flower shape is a fancy paper clip, held in place with one of the gorgeous brads I won in Elaine's blog candy - check out her blog as she has more candy on offer from Quixotic Paperie until 30th June.
