Cards of the Day/2 Sketches 4 You


Hey guys!
Lots to share with you today, first up my take on this weeks 2sketches4you, I had finished all my layers and felt like it needed something else, so went crazy with the glossy accents on the patterned paper. Not sure if you can see here? IRL it adds a touch of bling without the need to actually have bling in every colour! I was a little gutted I couldnt have my sentiment in chocolate, as I think that would have been more appropriate, but I have been having chocolate ink issues of late (bleeding and smearing, as I am an impatient stamper!) Definitely need some SU Choc chip and/or brown staz-on!
Anda mini me card, just cos I felt like making a card late last night waiting for the hubby to come home, and my poor old eyes needed a smaller area to work with! Lol. I thought the gold brads kinda looked like cuff links!

On another note, Ella is sleeping TERRIBLY at the moment, we went in to check on her last night and she was sleeping on her tummy the wrong way round in her cot! So silly us, thought it would be clever to move her under the blanket, and she woke up! Argh! Then at 4am for an hour, despite the pacifier, and then at 7am this morning. I am one of those peeps who love their sleep, and go a little crazy without it. Like I need 10-12 hours just to act like a normal human being!!

Wow this is a really long post, lack of sleep is really making me blather on! Have a creative day, and thanks for stopping by!

What a gorgeous card - I LOVE IT. That ribbon with the white strip at the bottom for the sentiment is divine. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Ooooh, fantastic job with the sketch! Love that paper and how you did the flowers with the scallop square and rounded corners at the bottom! The other card is a great too, perfect for a masculine birthday because you're right, the brads do look like cuff links! Hope the sleeping situation improves soon!
