Paperbabe #67 ~ Sketch Challenge.. A bottle of Love & Luck.

Happy Friday everyone, i'm so glad you are here!!

There's a new Paperbabe Blog Challenge today and it's time to get your 

thinking caps on and create within the #67 ~ Sketch Challenge requirements.

Here is the Sketch to use as your prompt.

The flower can represent an image or embellishment and the Paperbabe text a sentiment.

Flip it or move those prompts around and have fun being creative.

Today marks the start of the Chinese New Year ~ The Year of the Dog.

Although there is no dog amongst my design the richness of the reds and golds

have been a big influence in this creation.. 

Here is my Paperbabe #67 ~Sketch Challenge design

and those How to do's.. with some hidden *Candy*..

Using red card I blended black ink through a stencil and heat embossed with gold.

This will be my background.

Stamped and embossed a continuous strip and mat and layered.

Three bottles were stamped and embossed, filling two 

with frantage and the third only half full.

Those full bottles were given a stamped stopper with the half full bottle being fussy cut 

to expose its insides. Labelled with Love, Luck and Elixir they were ready to be mounted.

The vapour stamp from the bottle of stamp set was stamped onto the background;

see how the fussy cut half bottle lets the vapour peep through when placed over it.

Time to layer up all those elements to create my Sketch Project piece.

With a dot and dab of glitter glue, some stars from the Bottle of substrates kit 

and a large Lucky Red Ribbon my #67 ~ Sketch Challenge piece is complete. 

To show my appreciation and give thanks to you 

all for your support I would like to share the Paperbabe love and

offer a *GIFT* to one of you lovely people in the form of a candy giveaway.

I have an extra set of Paperbabe Bottle of Stamps and if you would like to receive them

simply let me know in your comment on this post I will draw out the winner from the

Wishing you a wonderful weekend

with lots of love and luck.

But for now it's all about *Dots* over on the Paperbabe Challenge #66

and for the next fortnight we would like to see you get a little dotty.

Here's a quick card I made in a style that I really struggle to create..

Using the dots stencils I created backgrounds, blending candied apple oxides 

through the stencils onto hammered card and then using up the ink by spritzing and 

then running them through an embossing machine to transfer those left overs. 

Fibreboard embellishments and extras were coloured using posca pens.

Stamping the word *Because* onto the dotty background stamp also 

included in the stamp set I heat embossed in white. and cut down to size.

Layering up those embellishments I printed out a dotty sentiment.

Flat back pearls embellish the substrates with glossy accents 

applied on top to bring those elements to life.

As Valentines day looms this would make a super card

or even just a note to say how much someone means to you!!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

what ever you are up too..

Take Care & Stay Safe
