It's my last post as Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday, and I'm a little sad it's already over! I've had so much fun with the sketches this month, and this week's sketch was no exception!

    

I used a sweet new image from C.C. Designs called Twila's Leafy Friends. Isn't she just the cutest? I've colored her with Copics, and matched her with some fall themed paper scraps from my stash. The main image panel is popped up on the card with foam adhesive.

     

     

       Copics:

Skin - E11, E00, E000

Hair - E49, E47, E44, E43, E41

Skirt, Shoes - E44, E43, E42, E41

Shirt, Red Leaves - R59, R39, E37, R35

Orange Leaves - E08, YR18, YR15, YR12, YR00

Greaan Leaves, Grass - YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01

      

That's all there is to it! I love this clean and simple sketch, and I'm sure I will be using it again!

     

A big huge THANKS to my friend Deb, for inviting me to be Guest Designer this month! I've loved being a part of the challenge!

It's review day at C.C. Designs, and the Design Team is bringing you more inspiration with this month's cute new circus themed images!

    

For my card, I've used a clown from the Meoples Clownin Around set. I used lots of bright colors, but went with a clean and simple layout for this one. The sentiment is from the new AmyR Circus Sentiments set, and is stamped onto the C.C. Cutters Banner Tags Die.

It's Tuesday, time for another fun sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!

     

            

We are lucky to have Stamp Fairy back as our sponsor this week! They are always so generous in offering images for the team to work with!

     

I chose to use Barry Peekers #5... I was originally thinking he would fit perfect in one of my polaroid frame dies, but he didn't fill in the height of it very well. So... I just made my own! I cut the square to the size I wanted, and used an x-acto knife to cut out the opening. Instead of flowers across the bottom, I tied on a big bow. I've used my YNS Fishtail/Banner Dies for the sentiment, which is from Lawn Fawn's So Much To Say set.

      

    

Copics:

Fur - E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Nose - E49, E47, E44, E43, E41

Today is our After Party, and the Design Team has come up with even more eye candy to inspire you with the newest YNS goodies!

I've whipped up a couple of simple cards using the new Silly Monsters set. These little guys are so much fun! I have about a dozen of them colored up, ready and waiting to be used on more projects!

       

For the first card, I dusted off one of my poor, neglected embossing folders... I can't even remember the last time I used one! The monster is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up on a circle sponged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I also used a couple of dies from the Fishtail/Banner Die Set.

      

    

Body - B06, B04, B02, B00, B000

Spots, Horns - V09, V06, V12, V01

Tongue - R22, R20, R000

        

  I love the sentiments that come in this set! So punny and cute!

I used a lot of similar elements on the second card, but changed up the color combo and layout. The patterned papers on both cards are from my scrap bin... yay for using up some of those scraps!!

      

       

      

It's my turn to share some inspiration on the Whimsie Doodles Blog today, so I decided to color up this cute new Frank's Girl image (you can find her in the What's New Section of the Whimsie Doodles Store). She is colored with Copics and paired with some patterned papers from my scrap bin. I sponged the clouds behind her using the YNS Puffy Cloud Dies as a mask, and Dusty Concord Distress Ink.
