SSW2 #273

 It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and we have a rectangular sketch for the first sketch this month.


I used Julie Hickey Designs - Julies Handpicked Bouquet for my image and the Happy Birthday sentiment and used Stampin Up watercolour pencils to colour.
The other sentiment is from Julie Hickey Designs - Floral Happiness Stamp set.
The spotty paper is Dottie Card from AnnaMarie Designs, ribbon is from Stash and I used a little bit of  embroidery floss to add a bit more interest.

Cross Stitch Critter


It's the first of the month so that means another challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge where anything goes with a critter.
This is a coaster which I stitched as a birthday gift for one of my office buddies last month.
The chart is from Mad Millie on Etsy and is called Tiny Cute Pug and I stitched it on 16 count white aida. I changed the colours to match my friends dogs.
The glass coaster is from Stitchtastic.

Valentine daisies

 I made this card for a card swap on Facebook, I think it's safe to share it on here now as I know that it has been received.


I used the following create my card

Card blank - Craft UK
Heart shaped dies - Make and Create from The Works
Embossing Folder - Marianne Hearts
Daisy Stamps- Julie Hickey Designs - Julie's Daisies
Heart Stencil - Julie Hickey Designs Stencil Set 1
Banner Die - Stampin Up Stylish Shapes
Banner Sentiment - Craftwork Cards - Special Days
Ink - I think is Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide
Papers for the daisies - some snippets from old Craftwork Card papers

There are lots of heart and romance challenges at the moment so I am entering this card in the following challenges
Allsorts Week 767 - Hearts / Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Love Letters / Anything Goes
This was the first time that I used the heart dies so I am taking this to NBUS challenge #59 as well.

I thought that I would also share my calendar page for my Julie Hickey Designs Calendar for February

SSW2 - Sketch 271

 Here is my first card for this months challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2


I used a Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder, Blush Rose papers which came from Craftwork Cards, the ribbon is from the Hobby House and the little dots are from Sweet Huni Designs.
The sentiment is a Dreamees stamp. 
Most of these items are no longer available but I am sure many of us have items with a similar vintage in our collections.
