March Sketch Challenge and a Special Birthday

Hi there,
I'm playing catch up to let you know about the new challenge over at Seven Hills Crafts for the month of March. We have a sketch this time around which has a lot of scope for interpretation...

                                                   

I have to admit that Mr Mojo was absent when I made my card and I went for a fairly literal copy of the sketch...

I used the MFT Balloon Strings background on its side to make a wavy ocean and then cut slits along the lines to allow the critters to pop their heads through the water... in hindsight I'm wondering if I should have gone for the more traditional blue ocean and embossed the lines in white!! Hmm the jury's still out on that one!

If you'd like to join in with this months challenge just click here for more details and the linky tool.

**************************
Monday was my brothers birthday.. yep, he's a leap year baby and this year was the big 40 so I had to make him a reminder card with the appropriate numbers on it. I practised some no-line water-colouring with this little guy from Stamping Bella....


This is Nacho and on the packaging he's coloured brown but my brothers little dog is a black and white terrier x so I went for the caricature style image.... I thought that expression was perfect for his card too ;)

and here's the inside... just to make him feel better ;)


More details and products used can be found over at the Seven Hills blog here :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

  2. Both your cards are fabulous Jenny, I'll bet your brother loved that fun sentiment inside.... but that's what sister's are for! Gotta say I'm looking for Mr Mojo too.

  3. Your lack of mojo worked well me thinks! the first card is fabulous. The second is creative and your colouring is wonderful, I have to "remind" my son he is 40 later this year LOL. May pinch your idea, if I remember it!
