Woodware challenge - sketch no 50

My sketch for this Woodware challenge features my new
stamp JGS446 whimsical flower - Sally Anne.

I've coloured it with watercolour markers or you could use Copics or similar.
The edge is made from a dressmakers marker wheel and I've run a Sakura pens over the dots to create the look of a faux stitching border.

The greeting comes from JGS443 large fennel. Even though there is a greeting with the flower stamp I needed a long greeting to create the shape of the sketch.


and here is the sketch

woodware challenge - Creating embellishments

These embellishments are easy to make with Woodware punches, card and some brads.

For my card this week I've used a new stamp JGS452 Roger robot.
His arms and legs move because he's joined together with little silver brads.
I've also given him googly eyes put on some glossy accent on his dangerous red button!

The background is created by a couple of Dutch Doobadoo stencils
called geometric tiles and metal.

Woodware challenge - funky shaped cards

I don't think this is actually a 'funky' looking card but its a different shape so I hope it fits into the criteria for this weeks Woodware challenge!
As you can see its a selection of die cut circles (or punch them if you prefer).
Each circle has been coloured with distress ink and then stamped using
some new stamps of mine for this year.

Heres a list of what I have used....
JGS439 small fennel
JGS437 herbs
JGS443 large fennel
JGS454 true friends (greeting)

I used a 6" base card laid out flat as my size and arranged the circles on top.
This is an easy way of getting a good shape and keeping within
the size so you can fit it in an envelope.

The circles are stuck together so its all joined up. I've scored it in three places
so it folds like a concertina. 
The back is covered in contrasting card to make it tidy.

Woodware challenge - scallops, curves and curls

One of my new stamp designs called Sally Anne, code number JGS446.

I've used a combination of punches and dies to create two frames with lots
of curls and swirls.
The flower petals represent the 'scallops'.

I've coloured the flower using Sakura Koi marker pens and a water brush.
