Inchies and twinchies

Lynn [Glitter Monkey] lured me into a new challenge run by the Dutch Small World of Inchies blog - inchies and twinchies. As the name implies, inchies are 1" x 1", and twinchies 2" x 2". The theme is 'Pink' and my submission is an inchie on a twinchie!

Lacking in inspiration for something so small I decided to incorporate a sketch from Di Hickman's February challenge, and what a challenge it was! The most difficult part was finding things that were to the correct scale, and wouldn't swamp the tiny pieces of cardstock.




Thanks for looking,

Oriental challenge

Another challenge - this time my first Daring Cardmakers. The challenge was for an Oriental card without using red or black. All the embossing is in gold, although the scan makes it look black in parts. The Sakura pens that coloured the geisha are turquoise, orange and brown.





Thanks for looking.

My first sketch challenge

As I was taking a wander around my favourite blogs this morning I noticed a sketch challenge on A Spoonful of Sugar that appealed to me, so here is my effort.




The papers are from Joanna Sheen's latest CD, Cottage Gardens; the stamp is coloured with Sakura pens.
