Ismaki Challenge no9

Here is my contribution for the sketch challenge below. The optional extra was 'pets'. I certainly wouldn't like to cuddle this pair, but I know some people rave about them!

Here is the sketch and my version of it. I've wanted to try this colour combination for some time. The optional extra was the use of metal - in this case the brads.

Ismaki Challenge no6

Here is my version of the sketch, with the optional extra of the scalloped edges. This was made for my eldest daughter, who is fast approaching this birthday. Although the image is not her, it reminds me of her when she was younger. (She was, of course, even cuter!)

Here is the sketch and card for the 5th challenge. I have kept it simple as I have made it for Steve, and he doesn't like heavily embellished and fussy cards. The optional extra was to use the colours turquoise and brown.

Ismaki Challenge no1

Isa has joined forces with 2 friends, Magali and Kianel, to create a new challenge site Ismaki. Their first challenge is to use this sketch. I have used the option of an alternative shape. I sponged the flowers with the green, and spritzed with my homemade copper glimmer spray all over.
