Sketch Saturday #350

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's still pretty cold here, but the sun is shining and that makes for a nice start to the day.  I am here with my DT card for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.  The sponsor this week is our own Saturday Girl, Niki, who has a special prize for the winner.

Here is this week's sketch, designed by Vannessa:

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Jubilee "Sherbet" 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Love is in the Air by Katerina Koukiotis, available at Sweet Pea Stamps.  It is the image we were to use for Part 2 of the Progressive Challenge in the Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans FB group.  I colored it with my Copics, of course.  The sentiment is from an old Gina K. Designs set and is stamped. 

Here is a close-up of the image:

Sketch Saturday #346

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  The sun is shining here in central Alabama and although it's a bit on the cool side right now, it's supposed to be a nice day today!  Looking forward to getting out to enjoy it.  I am here now with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  Our sponsor this week is Drawn With Character, who are offering the lucky winner three digis of their choice from the Drawn With Character shop.

I chose Sketch #297, designed by Vannessa, for my project:

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Rose Red and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Jubilee Sherbert 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Magnolia Flowers from Make it Crafty.  It's one of the newly-released floral images.  They are all gorgeous!  I colored it in a watercolor style using my Copics.  The Cherish sentiment is from the Doodle Love Word Chipboard Set and is also from Make it Crafty.  I just love this new line of chipboard sentiments! A triple-loop seam binding bow finished my card.

Sketch Saturday #341

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It is pouring down rain here and it's supposed to be like this all weekend.  It's guess it's another weekend for indoor activities. Before getting on with my day, I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are sponsored by Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the prize is a £10 gift certificate for the Bunny Zoe's Crafts shop.

Here is this week's sketch, designed by Debra:

And here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Gumball Green and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Bright Christmas 6x6 pad.  I created the fun Winter scene by merging two digis from Make it Crafty: Jasmine Hot Chocolate and Winter Seat.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I airbrushed the sky with Copic B12.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I didn't add any more embellishments so the scene was the main focus.

Here is a close-up of the scene:

 

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
