Simple Doodles Challenge 25 - Back to School!

A great challenge this fortnight for Simple Doodles:

Back to School

I've used an Inktegrity image, coloured with Promarkers with added wobbly eyes and have layered the image onto bright squares of card.

The added embellishments I've had that long that I've lost the packaging! I've used some red embroidery thread to tie the bow through the star and also across the middle of the card.

Hope you are able to join in with the fun - the deadline for challenges is Friday 10 September and the top three from that challenge are revealed the week after. Good luck!

No Ribbon and No Buttons!!

A nice simple sketch over on Inktegrity:

That was actually a bit more complicated than it first looked as I had to improvise with the 'layers' - so its doodled lines and faux stitching instead!

I've used one of their images which I got as part of the 50/50 Digital Stamping Group. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and have used papers from an old magazine freebie - The Summertime Dreams Collection from Creative Cardmaking. I really should use up more of the freebies I have and to colour the images accordingly. Fortunately, this one is mainly white so it would have gone with anything!

The sentiment is handwritten and I've used a Nesties die for the shape behind the image. This is a dinky card as I'm being frugal and using up off cuts from another project I am working on.

So all in all, I am pleased with this card!

Pirate Treasure!

I do like simple and easy sketches to follow and the current challenge from Inktegrity is this sketch:

I've used printed elements from a sheet I bought from CraftsUPrint - the other elements are on another card that I will blog today! Basically the pirate, map and treasure chest are digital images, pre coloured, cut out and added to the card, along with some gold stars and doodling.

The backing paper is from Back To Nature cd from Polkadoodles - its not a plain colour but slightly mottled which makes it a little more interesting! The card will be personalised when I decide who it is being sent to!

Bird House

Inktegrity has launched a brand new challenge and their first ever is this sketch:

I've used the image from the 50/50 Stampers Group which was pre-coloured. I printed it three times and layered it up. All the backing papers are from my stash with the printed one under the image from It's Funky Too from Funky Hand.

The ribbon is from the Scrap Store and as I have plenty of it I was generous with the bow!
