Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge # 2

Hello - it's time for Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge # 2. 

The challenge this week was to use pearls and lace on your card.

 I decided to just use pearls on mine. 

The image I used is a digital called Comfy Chair.

I printed the digi onto white paper and then added color

 with Tombow markers blended with a waterbrush.

The background paper is from Jillibean.

I hope you will join us in this challenge. 

Sweet Sunday Sketch #161 part two!

I am back again with another entry for SSS #161. 

They are having a Design Team call, so I am applying!

Here is the sketch I followed:

For my card I used the cutest little hamster set from Lil' Inkers.

I just love this little guy - he is from their 2 cute to stamp line.

I colored him with colored pencil and blended with mineral spirits. 

The heart dies are also from Lil' Inkers, the fishtail flag die is from My Favorite Things.

The pretty background paper is from Echo Park.

I hope they pick me for their Design Team! Wish me luck!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #161

Hello and thanks for stopping!

 Today I am playing along with 
The Sweetest Thing, Sweet Sunday Sketch! 

Karen always has some wonderful sketches!
For this card I used the digital image from

I colored the image with Distress inks, using them as watercolors. 

I'm really happy with how it turned out! 

I added a little silver Signo pen for the bands around the bucket.

 The papers are from Simple Stories -  a new line I found at my local stamp store!

 Love the country feel of these papers!
