It's time for our third challenge at A Random Fan, and this time around, Melissa has designed a lovely sketch for us to work with...

    

        

I made a large 6" square card using My Little Ballerina. I don't do much with purple, but I had a vision of this cutie in purple, and I found this pretty Spring Time digital paper from Shery K Designs on Etsy that made it all come together. I colored her with Copics to match the paper, and added some Stardust Stickles to the edge of her tutu. The sentiment is from AmyR Magical Wishes from C.C. Designs.

I'm up on the Whimsie Doodles Blog today, sharing my newest Doodlelicious Diva card, and I've actually managed to make a boy card!! Something I usually struggle with because I love all things cutesy and girlie! But this new Present Jayson paired up nicely with my Handsome Boy 6x6 pad from My Mind's Eye, making it pretty easy this time around.

       

Jayson is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up on a simple layout. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp's Quinton set, stamped onto a cut out from the YNS Banner/Fishtail Dies. The corner is embellished with a couple of Doodlebug adhesive pearls.

Happy Saturday! There is a new sketch for you to tackle up at the Sketch Saturday Blog!

       

This week week we have a new sponsor joining us... Oak Pond Creations is offering 3 digis to one lucky winner!

    

I have a bit of a loose take on the sketch this week... I had this idea for a cute, girlie birthday card, and I thought my Loopy Border Die from Your Next Stamp would go perfect with this confetti paper from the American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray pad... so, I had to find a way to make it fit! I colored Cupcake Cutie Fhiona with Copics, paper-pieced her shirt, and added a sprinkling of glitter to her cupcake. The stars are cut from my YNS Whimsy Layered Star Die.
