Sketch & Stash Challenge 29


I do love the Sketch & Stash sketches and this week is no exception. It's got just the right amount of "stuff" on it, but not too busy!

Anyways, a few days ago, I received my regular newletter from Great Ormond Street, so I had a check through my box of cards to see if I had enough to take in to work yet. From this check, it would appear that I have LOADS of female cards, a surprising amount of love/anniversary cards but need more baby, new home and male/boy cards. And so I started my personal challenge to make as many male cards as possible and this sketch helped with the first one!

I have used:
neglected Dovecraft Masculine papers
neglected eyelets
new (for Christmas) Scooter image from Mary Hall - I don't know why, but I don't love this image... - coloured with Whispers markers, a metallic pen and gloss

And here are a few more, one with Sk8tr Boy and another with my never-before-used FF bear - loving this image - look out for more!!

PS - Had a fabby time with Clare last night. We exchanged stash, chatted loads and had a lovely time. And I'm probably going to buy some Promarkers!!

UPDATE: Today I have ordered 7 promarkers and they have been dispatched, apparently! Oh, and 2 Belles and Whistles stamps "fell" in to the basket too (only £4 each from Secret Crafter). Oh I know, but the joy of my Christmas stash has long faded and they'll be well used....and I've already trialled the colours thanks to Clare and....!

    Lovely cards Susie, I think I could do with looking through neglected stash, the trouble is I can't remember what makes things are once the wrapper has departed!
