Friday Sketchers #52

The prize for this weeks sketch challenge is sponsored by Elzybells Art Stamps.

The sketch has been designed by Claudia Rosa and is one that sent me into a panic at first glance. I did think "how the blazes am i gonna make a card using this sketch", but not one to be defeated and loving a "challenge" this is what i came up with ......

CS ~ Stash

DP's ~ left over from previous card

Image ~ High Hopes ~ kindly donated by Rach (thanx honey x) isn't he gorgeous! coloured with Whisper Markers.

Raffia ~ Stash

Embellies ~ HobbyCrap find whilst looking for a toggle clasp, that they didn't have! (now there's a surprise lol)

Sentiment ~ PC Generated

Stitching ~ Sewing Machine

I decorated the inside too with the paper i had left and just added another embellie and a flower that was RAK from Diane (mwah's)

I only have 2 more June cards left to make and they're both male cards .... oh joy! I hate doing them when so many of you doing the challenges are making girly versions. Obviously, making all these male cards does give me the opportunity to use green and orange, 2 of my fav colours! See every cloud does have a silver lining lol!

Talking of water ... ok well not literally but then some clouds do hold water dont they?! I was pegging the washing out this morning ... that was a waste of time too, but anyhow .... i could here water running, but couldn't understand where it was coming from. As i turned to walk up the garden steps back to the house i noticed we had a new water feature! I had water spraying out between little cracks in the cement and bricks. I did think initially that the garden looked a bit wet, but it had rained pretty bad yesterday. I phoned "Leakline" up cos its not the first time this has happened and was caused by a burst pipe under our side yard, but they weren't particularly interested, just said they'd send someone out the confirm it ... cos clearly i dont know what a water leak looks like and i could have the diagnosis wrong! Just waiting now for the neighbours to come home, cos they're turning there shed and outhouse into a bathroom and i'm wondering if thats caused the problem. So, if you dont hear from me for awhile its cos i'm busy building an ark!
