For my card on Day 29 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve used Water Painters for the Sepia Technique which is reminiscent of those old photographs. I really enjoyed doing this style of Watercolouring with natural tones.
I started by stamping the image in Soft Suede on Shimmery White Cardstock. Then I worked in the other colours with my Water Painters, adding Early Espresso towards the centre. When water colouring, ensure you dry between colours so it doesn’t become a muddy mess.
I added a layer of Very Vanilla between the Early Espresso and Crumb Cake card base which made the spots stand out more. The sentiment just fit the calming tones of this card. I fussy cut around it so it didn’t cover too much of that pretty image.
It’s my last Sketchtember Challenge tomorrow so please make sure you join in and subscribe to my blog for regular inspiration.

Hello and welcome to Day 27 of my Sketchtember Challenge. I’m creating with the Sweetest Cherries bundle which includes a stamp set and coordinating punch. The sentiments in this stamp set are bold and in a more handwritten style font which make for creating fun projects.
I created a vertical card which is not my norm as I felt the sketch was more to this style. So cut your Cardstock at 10.5 cm and score at 14.8 cm. The Gingham Cottage DSP is so versatile and I’ve been finding many uses for it with my projects of late.
The cherries were stamped in Real Red ink and then I added some extra shading with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Melon Mambo Watercolour Pencils. The leaves were punched from Mint Macaron Cardstockwhich I coloured with Old Olive and Coastal Cabana Watercolour Pencils to add shading and depth.
I’ve been using my Watercolour Pencils more and just love how easy it is to create shading with this colouring tool. They are at a low price point and you can get 2 assortments. I’ve got them in a cup style container right on my desk so I can easily access them any time which makes me use it even more.
Thank you for visiting me and checking out my card today. I hope you are inspired to create. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to place an order.

For Day 26 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’m joining in the Stampin’ Up! #CreativeChallengeSU with a bit of fussy cutting.
I’ve coloured the DSP with a mix of Watercolour Pencils and fussy cut it.
Watercolour Pencils used
Melon Mambo
Flirty Flamingo
Real Red
Old Olive
Coastal Cabana
Calypso Coral
Daffodil Delight
Underneath I’ve stamped the Cardstock with some leaves from the Garden Grandeur stamp set in Basic Gray ink. Then I embossed the Cardstock with the Timber Embossing Folder. A fussy cut butterfly was added to resemble the sketch.

Today is the Day! The day that sparked this series of Sketchtember Challenges, It’s my big 50. I am so grateful to be able to mark this milestone with each of you. I am celebrating this evening with family and friends and look forward to sharing making many special memories. I’m thankful to God for blessing me with so much and being with me all these years.
For the Day 25 sketch I’ve created with the Cottagae Rose bundle.
I’ve embossed the background with the Tree Rings embossing folder which I love. It gives such a beautiful detailed image. The rose was coloured with Sweet Sorbet and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.

I’ve been inspired to create a Gate Fold card with the sketch for Day 23 of my Sketchtember Challenge.
Measurements
Cardstock 21cm x 14.8 cm
Score at 5.2 cm and 15.8 cm on the long side
DSP 4.8 cm x 14.4 cm (2 panels)
The flower was coloured with Pool Party, Polished Pink and Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party Blends. The White circle embossed with the Hive Embossing Folder provides the contrast for the flower to stand out against.
