You can rotate it, flip it, resize it and add embellishments or a sentiment where ever you want, just as long as we can see the elements of the sketch. You can also make anything you like too - just follow the sketch!Continuing the theme of teacher thank you cards, I've made these for Jacob's teachers and I've used papers and digi apple from Funky Hand - Colour Me Happy cd. I've added a faux stitch around the edges and the apple has been coloured with Promarkers and then glossy accents.
I've used a nestie for the shape and then layered it and cut around for the next size up. Brads are from my stash and I had to be creative as didn't have enough of each type to use fully, hence two different brads! And the ribbon is from my stash too.
Good luck with the challenge - for more details and how to enter, please go to the challenge blog. Closing date is Sunday 10 July at 12noon GMT.

I decided to alter an address book that had a rather horrid cover and have used papers and the little house digi stamp is from the workspace section of Colour Me Happy which has been coloured with Aquamarkers. I've used a Nestie for the shape and have dotted liquid pearls around the edge.
I also decided to use the sketch to make a new house card. Papers are from the Salt and Pepper download and the image is from Dreams Come True. The ribbon and tiny key charm are from my stash.
Good luck with the challenge - for more details go to Get Funky and the deadline is 14 July.
I used almost all the sizes of my scalloped circle Nesties to make these - papers are from Colour Me Happy cd from Funky Hand and I've printed on both sides. I then got a bit over enthusiastic and instead of lightly spraying the die cuts with water, I stuck them under the tap. Hence the weathered and faded look. And the ink has run too!
I've added a wooden bead to the top of the skewer and also underneath. The wire has been tided up with some wonderfully matching satin ribbon. The bees which are I think a Sizzix die cut have been layered up with black, yellow and gold glittery card and are attached to the flowers with a piece of gold thick craft wire so that they boing around.
Whilst the 'flowers' were wet, I scrunched them up so that they have more character and don't squash quite as easily!
The fruit colours that I've picked (in order) are: banana (yellow), orange (pale orange) and watermelon (pink). The strawberries and cherries are also represented.
A little bit of faux stitching around the edge and my card is complete! Good luck in entering the challenge!
The flowers, bling, button and pearl heart are all from my stash. And I've just realised I've not added a sentiment. Ah well!
The image has been coloured with Promarkers and for once I've managed to co-ordinate colours with the papers even though I'd not worked out which papers I was going to use...... All papers have been taken from my bits box which is sort of going down nicely but not quick enough to be honest! I'll have to start using the cardstock background more and then simply adding titchy bits of printed card as accents.... Will see if that one works!
The spotty paper is from Colour Me Happy and the black card is from my stash. The pocket has been made from simply gluing the spotty paper down but making sure there is enough room to add the tag. I've added three colour co-ordinated Card Candies underneath the photo.
The tag cut from plain black card from my stash, using a Sizzix dog tag die, with a dotted white gel pen outline around the edge, a bit of ribbon from a Primark hair bobble thing, a matching lilac heart gem and the letters have been cut with a Sizzix Round-a-Bout alphabet die, to which I've added a black outline.
I've used my Cuttlebug Baby Face alphabet die set for the lettering and have coloured the name plate with Promarkers.
A bit of inking and it's completed! I bought the tin of twine from Poundland - similar item in Sainsburys was nearly 4 times the price! I think next time I'm in Poundland, if they have any more I'll get some to alter for Christmas presents!
I've used a green card blank and then added papers from Colour Me Happy from Funky Hand. The digital image, is also from the cd and I've coloured it with Promarkers. The red organza ribbon is from my stash and was too wide, so I folded it in half before I tied it, and then added the red button.
Apologies for the photos being in a random order. Can't get them to move either.
All the layers have been made using recycled stuff - bottom layer is a Dairylea cheese triangle box (the double one), then a thick sellotape roll. Next, a cotton bud container, then a cut down toilet roll inner and finally a tiny spool from a Dymo label printer.
