Sketch week at Creative Inspirations Wednesday challenge

Hi everyone! Well I think the reason I was feeling poorly the week before last was that I was coming down with a horrendous cold... It emerged a couple of days after we got back from London and hasn't quite gone yet (cough splutter!). Luckily though my motivation isn't badly affected this time so I'm back to crafting this week and managed to use another magnolia stamp which always helps to perk me up a bit! I've got some still in their wrappers waiting to be used, I'm desperate to ink them up but really don't have time at the moment to do more than one card a week, so I'll have to be patient! (plus I think if I spend more time than I already do on cards I might find myself single!)

This week at CI Nat provided us with the most gorgeous sketch to work with, and on first sight it screamed "fan" at me for the semi circle piece, so I thought spanish Tilda would work well.

Here's what I came up with...

Close up of Tilda...   The pearls are made with a viva decor pearl pen (salmon) and there's some white pearl pen on the fan. There's Crackle glaze on her shoes although this isn't showing on the photos, and some stardust stickles under her feet. She is coloured with DI.

The flowers and leaves are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the

sentiment is from the mini sentiments stamp set from whimsy

stamps

The fan is just a rectangular piece of paper which has been punched with MS optic dot border punch and folded. The metal centre and brad were gifts from the lovely Mona (CI) for my birthday. All edges have been inked with Walnut Stain DI and sewed with my sewing machine (still learning this one!). The papers are from my favourite DCWV paper pack.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly: Anything goes + flowers

Top Tip Tuesday: Girly

Stamptacular Sundays: Whateva!

So that's me for this challenge, I hope you like!

Take care everyone, and happy crafting! Hugs. Katy. xxx
